How Kourtney Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski Mastered Nude Heels for Petite & Tall Styling

In April 2016, the Alice + Olivia “See Now Buy Now” runway show in Hollywood served as a masterclass in styling monochromatic neutrals.

Two of the era’s biggest style icons, Kourtney Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski, proved that while trends in social media circles fluctuate, the pairing of minimalist silhouettes with high-end nude footwear remains a timeless fashion staple.

The duo showcased how to execute tonal dressing by playing with textures and cutouts, anchoring their looks with classic designs from Gianvito Rossi and Stuart Weitzman—styles that remain relevant in modern wardrobes.

Kourtney wore a suede top-and-skirt combination from Alice + Olivia, which she styled with a purse from Lee Savage, a bracelet from Cartier, and a pair of nude pumps by Gianvito Rossi.

Emily followed Kourtney’s neutral color scheme. The “Blurred Lines” dancer styled a nude pair of Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals with a white cutout dress from Alice + Olivia.

Amazing (and expensive) styling aside, Emily announced on her Instagram that she did her own makeup for the event.

We’re not sure how close these two really are since we couldn’t find repeat appearances on their Snapchat and Instagram accounts, but they did seem civil enough to chat each other up during the show.

Why Nude Heels Remain a Celebrity Styling Essential

Kourtney Kardashian and Emily Ratajkowski’s coordinated neutral looks are a reminder that nude heels are one of fashion’s most reliable styling tricks. Whether paired with structured tailoring, flowing gowns, or minimalist dresses, skin-toned pumps and sandals create a seamless leg line while keeping the focus on the outfit’s silhouette and texture.

From Gianvito Rossi’s sleek pointed pumps to Stuart Weitzman’s barely-there “Nudist” sandals, celebrities consistently rely on neutral footwear to balance bold fashion moments with understated elegance.
