Throughout the week, she rotated between towering Versace platform boots, statement pumps, and sleek monochrome ensembles that reflected the platform-shoe revival dominating fashion at the time.

The young couple was pictured wearing bold looks while shopping at a YSL store on Avenue Montaigne.
Looking effortlessly stylish, the American actress showcased her penchant for wild prints in a leopard-print coat. She teamed the patterned outerwear with a basic black tee and tailored pants that kept her long pins under wraps.

To keep a low profile, Nicola hid her eyes behind a pair of large black sunglasses and a satin face mask. She wore her blonde tresses loose and styled her look with minimalist layered necklaces and a single earring.

Meanwhile, David and Victoria Beckham’s son was hard to ignore in a bright orange Superdry hoodie with the text “Recycle Paris” emblazoned across the front.
He wore it over a plain white tee teamed with black jeans and white Nike Air Force 1 sneakers. Completing his cool getup, Brooklyn shielded his eyes behind a pair of black sunglasses and wore a black baseball cap backward.

Brooklyn and Nicola wore coordinating black looks on their way to Givenchy’s runway show.
Heading out of the Ritz hotel, Brooklyn donned a black rib-knit cardigan with a matching tee, pants, and chunky patent shoes as he held his fiancée’s hand.
He carried a black bag with a thin crossbody strap across his torso and kept a formal look with his brushed-up hairstyle.

Matching her fiancé’s outfit, Nicola sported a black leather biker jacket over a rib-knit collared cropped top. She paired the edgy outfit with flared trousers and finished it with platform boots.
Continuing with the rock-chic vibe of her look, she styled her golden tresses down with an off-center parting and wore winged eyeliner and nude lipstick.

To complete her sexy yet edgy evening look, Nicola carried a Chanel handbag and balanced on a pair of Versace “Medusa” platform pumps.
First introduced on Versace’s Fall 2021 runway, the Medusa Aevitas pumps quickly became one of the brand’s most recognizable footwear designs.

Nicola’s pair featured crystal-embellished ankle straps, signature Medusa charms, square toes, chunky 2.5-inch platforms, and sturdy block heels.
The statement silhouette later appeared on celebrities including Lucy Hale, Willow Smith, and Anne Hathaway, helping cement the style as one of the defining platform shoes of the early 2020s.

Double Denim and Versace Platform Boots at a Paris Flea Market
Making the most of their time in Paris, the couple made sure to stop by a flea market. For the rainy outing, Brooklyn bundled up in a royal blue padded jacket, loose-fitting jeans, white sneakers, and a black baseball cap.

Nicola’s Paris Fashion Week wardrobe reflected a wider celebrity fascination with Versace’s dramatic footwear. Similar statement-making boot moments have appeared across the brand’s history, from Jenny McCarthy’s red stretch Versace over-the-knee boots and Jennifer Lopez’s thigh-high denim Versace boots to Zooey Deschanel’s gold-trimmed vintage Versace boots.

Met Gala Valentino Glamour and Platform-Heel Style
Before heading to Paris Fashion Week, Nicola and Brooklyn made their Met Gala debut together in September 2021.
While Nicola’s sparkling pink Valentino Couture gown, matching opera gloves, and statement jewelry delivered classic Hollywood glamour, her footwear told a different story. Peeking out beneath the floor-length design were Versace’s coveted Medusa Aevitas platform pumps—arguably the most recognizable party shoes of 2021.

The choice added an unexpected twist to an otherwise head-to-toe Valentino moment. Introduced on Versace’s Fall 2021 runway, the satin platforms featured towering block heels, chunky double platforms, crystal-embellished ankle straps, and the house’s signature Medusa charm. Their bold, modern silhouette contrasted beautifully with the gown’s romantic, Marilyn Monroe-inspired elegance.
The choice also foreshadowed one of Nicola’s most memorable bridal-fashion details. When she married Brooklyn Beckham in April 2022, she wore a custom Valentino Haute Couture wedding gown, but her chunky square-toe platform shoes were custom Versace. The decision echoed her 2021 Met Gala styling: romantic Valentino clothing paired with bold Versace platforms underneath.
Meanwhile, Brooklyn complemented her look in a classic black Valentino suit, creating a coordinated appearance while allowing Nicola’s statement footwear to provide a modern contrast.

While the Met Gala showcased Nicola’s red-carpet approach to the platform trend, her everyday wardrobe relied on the same elevated silhouettes, often styled with casual separates and minimalist accessories.
Saint Laurent Billy Platform Boots for a West Hollywood Date Night
A few weeks before their Paris Fashion Week appearances, the couple stepped out for a date night at Delilah in West Hollywood, with Nicola once again building her look around a pair of statement platform boots.
Brooklyn, clad in a plain white tee and dark blue jeans with a blue sweater draped around his shoulders, held hands with his fiancée, who looked chic in an all-black outfit.

Showing a hint of her abs, the Bates Motel star wore an affordable Brandy Melville Natasha fitted tank top, and a pair of Dickies relaxed straight twill pants, styled with a textured black belt.

The actress kept her accessories simple with tiny hoop earrings, two pendant necklaces, and a bracelet.
Wearing her shoulder-length blonde hair down, she went incognito, hiding her beauty under a black embroidered cap and a face mask.

To complete her all-black look, Nicola carried a black Chanel Caviar Timeless Pochette over her shoulder and slipped into Saint Laurent’s coveted “Billy” platform leather boots.
One of the brand’s standout platform styles of the early 2020s, the Billy boots combined a retro-inspired silhouette with round toes, chunky platforms, towering self-covered block heels, and a signature engraved side buckle.
Though now discontinued, the boots remain highly sought after on the resale market, where fashion collectors continue to hunt for the statement-making design years after its original release.
When hunting for the calfskin Saint Laurent Billy platform boots on the secondary market, always request photos of the underside buckle engraving. Counterfeits from this specific early-2020s era frequently misalign the font weight on the signature Saint Laurent side-buckle stamp.

From Paris Platforms to Red-Carpet Heels: More Nicola Peltz Shoe Moments
Paris Fashion Week wasn’t the only time Nicola Peltz built her outfits around statement footwear. Throughout her career, she has repeatedly gravitated toward shoes that add height, drama, and strong proportions, whether through towering platforms, embellished heels, or bold designer sandals.
Other memorable shoe moments include the Nicholas Kirkwood sandals she wore early in her career, the platform heels from her 2021 Met Gala appearance, and the Steve Madden platform mules she styled in Portofino. Together, these looks reveal a consistent preference for footwear that serves as the focal point of an outfit rather than a finishing touch.
Standing 5 feet 7 inches (171 cm) tall and wearing a US 7.5 shoe size, Nicola often favors shoes with bold proportions, from chunky platform boots to statement heels.
Whether she’s wearing Versace boots on the streets of Paris or elevated heels on the red carpet, her wardrobe demonstrates how a distinctive pair of shoes can define an entire look.
