On February 2, 2014, Kim Kardashian stepped out at Naimie’s Beauty Center in Los Angeles just after revealing her return to brunette hair on Instagram, explaining the change coincided with filming a new season of Keeping Up with the Kardashians.

While the fresh hair color drew headlines, the outing also captured three distinct approaches to mid-2010s celebrity style, each anchored by memorable designer shoes that have since become increasingly difficult to find.
Kim paired a ribbed long-sleeved crop top with a matching high-waisted beige pencil skirt and Saint Laurent’s tan suede “Paris 105” pumps, one of Hedi Slimane’s defining heel designs for the house.
Alongside her, Kylie Jenner contrasted a white Chloé tunic dress with Balenciaga’s cult-favorite “Ceinture” cutout ankle boots, while Khloé Kardashian completed her tight top and Rag & Bone “Bromley” skinny jeans with pointed python pumps widely credited to Gianvito Rossi.
Although all three shoes have long since disappeared from retail shelves, they remain sought-after examples of 2010s luxury footwear through archival and resale markets.
Kim Kardashian Returns to Brunette Hair in Timeless Saint Laurent “Paris 105” Pumps

Kim finished the monochrome look with Saint Laurent’s tan suede “Paris 105” pumps, a pointed-toe style introduced during Hedi Slimane’s tenure at the French fashion house.
She had already worn the same heels while shopping with fiancé Kanye West in December 2013, underscoring how frequently they appeared in her wardrobe. The style has since been discontinued, but well-preserved pairs continue to surface on luxury resale marketplaces, making them one of Saint Laurent’s most recognizable pumps of the era.

Kylie Jenner Gives a Chloé Mini Dress an Edge With Balenciaga “Ceinture” Ankle Boots
Kylie Jenner joined her equally stylish sisters as they headed to a beauty center to spend some quality time together. The 16-year-old star looked effortlessly cool in a white tunic dress from Chloé, which features short sleeves, a crew neck, diamond lace insets, and organza trimming.
She styled it with dark sunglasses, an assortment of rings and bangles, and the classic black leather bowling bag from Balenciaga. Kylie finished off her look with a pair of Balenciaga cutout ankle boots, which added an edgy touch to her ensemble.

Balenciaga’s “Ceinture” ankle boots stood out for their cutout construction, oversized buckle straps, contrast welt stitching, and smooth calfskin leather.

Originally introduced during Nicolas Ghesquière’s tenure at Balenciaga, the “Ceinture” boots became one of the defining footwear silhouettes of the early 2010s, thanks to their signature cutouts and oversized buckle straps. The style has long since been discontinued, but Balenciaga’s emphasis on bold, hardware-driven footwear continues.
As of August 2026, Farfetch’s Balenciaga selection includes styles such as the Cagole and Venom boots, while the original “Ceinture” design survives only through the archival resale market, making authentic pairs increasingly difficult to source.

Khloé Kardashian Elevates Casual Denim With Pointed Python Gianvito Rossi Pumps
Khloé Kardashian may have opted for stylish comfort as she bonded with her sisters, but she still looked dangerously sexy in her tight shirt and Rag & Bone skinny jeans in Bromley, which showed off her enviable derrière. She capped off her look with dark sunglasses and a pair of python pumps.

While the brand was never officially confirmed, Khloé’s pointed-toe python pumps have long been widely identified as Gianvito Rossi.
Exotic python heels like these were especially popular during the mid-2010s, but genuine examples have become increasingly scarce as collections were discontinued and regulations surrounding the sale and shipment of exotic skins became more restrictive. Today, vintage pairs are considerably harder to source than comparable leather styles.
