From gala-ready pumps to elegant velvet stilettos, these standout moments show how her footwear choices elevate each look.

1. Gilded Glamour: Michael Kors Mirror Dress and Gold Pointed-Toe Pumps

In October 2021, the designer attended the Golden Heart Awards at The Glasshouse in New York City, leaning into a high-octane “gilded” aesthetic that showcased her affinity for structured glamour and metallic accents.

For the occasion, she chose a shimmering Michael Kors Fall 2021 bodycon mini dress priced at $5,990.

The eye-catching design features intricate mirror embroidery arranged in an abstract pattern, while the modest round neckline and long sleeves balance the thigh-grazing hemline for a sleek, modern silhouette.

2. Transitional Tweed: Gingham Mini Dress and Teal Velvet Stiletto Pumps

Three days earlier, the fashion designer put on another leggy display while grabbing dinner with her mom Kathy Hilton at Craig’s.

Showing how to transition spring colors to fall, Nicky wore a light blue and white gingham-patterned mini dress. It features a fitted bodice with white buttons down the front and frayed trims along the hem, strapless neckline, and pockets.
