High-profile lunch dates often serve as the ultimate mood board for elevated casual style.

On May 29, 2016, in Malibu, California, Kim Kardashian and Chrissy Teigen delivered a masterclass in denim styling with high-end footwear.

While the occasion was a family gathering for the Kardashian-Wests and the Legends, the fashion takeaway remains a timeless lesson in balancing oversized silhouettes with precision-engineered heels.

Kim Kardashian, a longtime proponent of the “high-low” aesthetic, anchored her look with the iconic Manolo Blahnik “Chaos” sandals.

These minimalist stilettos have earned a permanent spot in the footwear hall of fame for their versatility and “barely-there” silhouette that elongates the leg—even when paired with heavy, distressed denim.

Kim wore an oversized aqua denim jacket over a black lace-up top, paired with distressed “Photo Ready” denim from J Brand.

The social media star and ShoeDazzle founder accessorized her casual lunch look with a pair of Givenchy sunglasses and her go-to black suede Manolo Blahnik “Chaos” sandals. Earlier that year, she wore the same heels with a shimmering dusty-pink Talbot Runhof dress.

Of course, there was a bit of drama as Kanye West went off on the paparazzi while trying to shield the mothers and children with him.

Kanye-paparazzi face-off aside, he and Kim were seen cooing over Luna at lunch. Kanye held the newborn (yes, he was smiling at her) as Kim pinched her little foot. Chrissy uploaded snaps of their precious meeting.
