After showcasing a series of minimalist and statement-making looks throughout The Shards press tour, Kaia Gerber and Hayes Warner brought their contrasting fashion personalities to Berlin for another standout appearance.
Following earlier New York photocalls and the world premiere—where Gerber favored designers like Gianvito Rossi, Jimmy Choo, The Row, and Herbert Levine while Warner rotated through Paris Texas, Andrea Wazen, and Manolo Blahnik—the co-stars embraced two entirely new luxury houses at AchtBerlin: Prada and Valentino. For a closer look at their earlier press-tour wardrobe, see our guide to every shoe Kaia Gerber and Hayes Warner wore during The Shards press tour.
Gerber stayed true to her signature minimalist aesthetic in a sleek head-to-toe Prada ensemble, while Warner embraced bold maximalism in an eye-catching Valentino look.

Kaia Gerber Pairs Sculptural Silver Prada Sandals With Minimalist White Co-Ords
Kaia Gerber has built a reputation for understated luxury, whether she’s wearing Chloé Bell boots during Paris Fashion Week, minimalist Jimmy Choo Minny sandals on the red carpet, or effortless off-duty sneakers. At The Shards Berlin premiere, she continued that refined aesthetic in a custom Prada look, proving once again that clean silhouettes and statement footwear remain her signature.
She completed the look with metallic silver Prada sandals crafted from mirror metallic calfskin leather. The high-shine finish added a contemporary edge while still keeping the design sleek and refined.
Her sandals featured sharp open pointed toes finished with Prada’s signature enameled metal triangle logo, instantly making them recognizable.
That geometric motif continued into the sculptural 4-inch heels, with a slightly flared, angled shape that gave the shoes a striking architectural finish. Slim straps across the toes and delicate ankle straps kept the silhouette light and elegant, allowing the sculptural details to stand out.
These Prada metallic leather high-heeled sandals are available for $1,320 at Farfetch.

The American model paired the metallic heels with a custom white satin Prada two-piece featuring a cropped top with a clean square neckline, wide shoulder straps, and striking side and back cutouts connected by structured bands. The skin-baring details added a modern edge without compromising the look’s minimalist appeal.
A matching low-rise column skirt skimmed her frame before falling to the floor, elongating her already statuesque silhouette. Gerber kept the styling understated, forgoing a necklace in favor of a delicate tennis bracelet and tiny stud earrings.
Her long brunette hair was styled in soft, loose waves with a deep side part, held neatly in place by two black bobby pins that added a subtle ‘90s-inspired touch. She paired it with shimmering lilac eyeshadow, rosy blush, and glossy pink lips that gave her minimalist look a classic finish.

Hayes Warner Contrasts Valentino Rockstud Pumps With Sheer Lace and Bold Color
Unlike Kaia Gerber’s restrained Prada styling, Hayes Warner leaned into Valentino’s unmistakable house codes of romance, drama, and statement accessories. The contrasting looks perfectly reflected the co-stars’ different fashion personalities, making their Berlin premiere appearance one of the event’s most memorable style moments.
Warner wore Valentino’s iconic Rockstud pumps in white kidskin leather, balancing elegance with a punk-inspired attitude. The caged design featured a T-strap, three slim horizontal straps, and a rectangular cutout at the vamp that revealed just a hint of toe cleavage.
Each strap was decorated with the house’s signature gold-tone pyramid Rockstuds, adding texture and edge against the crisp white leather. Squared metal toe caps gave the pumps a contemporary finish, while slender 4-inch stiletto heels elongated her frame beautifully.
The white Rockstud pumps worn by Hayes Warner retail for $1,190, while many luxury retailers currently offer a much broader selection of Valentino Garavani Rockstud styles. At Mytheresa, the lineup includes classic leather and suede pumps, metallic finishes, lower 65mm heels, platform versions, calf-hair styles, sandals, mules, and espadrille wedges, with select pairs discounted.
Farfetch also carries an extensive assortment spanning kidskin, patent leather, metallic, suede, lace, crystal-embellished, caged, and ankle-strap designs in multiple heel heights. Availability, sizing, and prices vary by style.

Warner paired the statement shoes with a Valentino ensemble that was anything but ordinary. She wore a delicate sheer champagne floral lace top with a high ruffled neckline and long sleeves. It fit her like a glove, while the semi-transparent lace offered just a glimpse of skin, balancing romance with modern sensuality. A marigold miniskirt sat low on her hips, featuring soft ruching and a dramatic, twisted knot at the center that added dimension.
Layered over everything was a flowing beige silk-satin cape-style jacket with sharply structured shoulders and exaggerated draped sleeves that cascaded effortlessly around her. The fluid cape silhouette effectively softened the sharp tailoring of the shoulders.
Warner finished the look with dainty rings and understated earrings, letting the Valentino ensemble remain the star.
