Don’t you love it when an innocent afternoon scroll turns into a full-blown fashion find? That’s precisely what happened to us—and naturally, we had to share it with the rest of the YNS community. While browsing through some vintage red-carpet looks, we stumbled upon the Kurt Geiger “Kitty” platform sandals, a heart-cutout design that feels just as charming now as it did in the early 2010s.
Crafted with suede heart appliqués and glossy vinyl uppers, these romantic platforms prove that playful, feminine details never go out of style. Whether you remember them from their 2013 Brit Awards debut or you’re just discovering them now, the “Kitty” heels are a reminder of why Kurt Geiger remains a go-to for statement footwear that blends whimsy with sophistication.

We still can’t get enough of the suede heart appliqués floating over the glossy vinyl uppers—an irresistibly flirty detail that captures Kurt Geiger’s playful London energy. Even the tiny gold star stamped on each sole adds a little extra charm that makes these sandals hard to forget.
Originally priced at $208.94, the Kitty sandals were considered a steal for a luxury label known for its sculptural heels and high-fashion edge. They even came in blush-pink leather, perfect for anyone who loves a romantic, feminine twist. And while this exact pair has long sold out, their sweet-meets-bold aesthetic continues to inspire many of the brand’s modern designs today.
Double Take: The Kurt Geiger ‘Kitty’ Sandals Make Two Appearances
We found out who makes these sandals, but we also learned about an awkward social situation involving them. You may still remember that we first spotted these sandals on British singer Preeya Kalidas at the 2013 Brit Awards.

The English singer and actress paired them with this sexy pleated leather dress and an ultra-long fishtail braid:

Ashley Roberts, a former Pussycat Dolls member, wore these sandals, but it became awkward when she also wore them to the same 2013 Brit Awards.

It’s good she styled them with this long strapless dress with a semi-sheer overlay, so the sandals were at least somewhat covered.

Fashion faux pas or simply a case of great minds thinking alike? Showing up in the same shoes might not sting quite as much as wearing the same dress, but at high-profile red carpet events, every detail counts. Still, it’s proof that a truly fabulous pair can captivate more than one style icon.
So, tell us—if you spotted someone wearing your statement heels at a special occasion, would you laugh it off or quietly wish you’d chosen another pair?
