Emily Ratajkowski’s Red Boots Revolution: Bold Footwear That Defines Spring 2024 Trends

Acne Studios broke tradition at its Fall/Winter 2024–2025 runway show during Paris Fashion Week, transforming the venue with sculptural seating—and attracting fashion A-listers like Emily Ratajkowski, who turned heads in bold red boots.

Guests had a unique seating experience alongside the standard benches, featuring large-scale chairs crafted from recycled tires. These distinctive sculptures, some in smaller cushion-like versions, were visually striking and provided seating for select attendees.

The front row boasted notable figures, including Emily Ratajkowski, who elegantly wore a white ensemble from Acne Studios’ Spring 2024 collection.

Her ensemble consisted of a simple yet elegant white T-shirt-style maxi dress with short sleeves morphing into a sculptural, flowing skirt with an ankle length and an unusual asymmetric hemline that seemed to hover rather than hang.

While I feel it was a tad too simple and bland for her, I can’t help but appreciate its structured silhouette, adorned with draped detailing that beautifully complemented her famous curves.

Minimalist Chic: Acne Studios White Dress & Bold Red Boots

Although I was not particularly enamored with her dress choice, I adored how she highlighted it with bold footwear. Slipping her feet into vibrant cherry red patent leather boots, she added a striking contrast to her ensemble.

The red statement shoes were undeniably chic and on-trend. They boasted pointy toes and stiletto heels that effortlessly enhanced her model figure.

A bold red shoe has the power to elevate any outfit from drab to fab in an instant. Emily’s choice of footwear not only adds a pop of color but also follows one of the hottest trends for spring 2024.

It’s a reminder that sometimes, the most effective way to transform a seemingly dull look into high fashion is with a statement shoe.

Considering the simplicity of her dress, I wouldn’t have minded if Emily had adorned herself with several dainty silver and diamond pieces of jewelry to accentuate her attire.

However, she chose a path of simplicity, allowing her plain dress and vibrant shoes to take center stage, eschewing any jewelry altogether.

Nevertheless, she did accessorize with a black Acne Studios shoulder bag, ensuring she had her essentials and completed her ensemble.

Emily opted for a minimalist approach to makeup, enhancing her natural beauty without overpowering her look. She styled her dark hair with a middle part, allowing her glossy tresses to cascade down her shoulders.

Daring Edge: Courrèges Leather One-Shoulder Crop Top & Chunky Boots

Contrasting her understated appearance at the Acne Studios show, Emily Ratajkowski took a daring and edgy stance at the Courrèges’ Fall/Winter 2024-2025 runway collection show on the same day, where Charli XCX and Brooklyn Beckham joined her.

In a striking departure from her previous look, she demonstrated a masterful approach to styling a winter crop top, opting for a head-turning black leather statement piece.

Her ensemble featured an asymmetric top with a daring one-shoulder cut, complemented by a single long-sleeved glove and a nearly backless design.

Despite its quirky nature, I admire how Emily’s ensemble exuded a relaxed vibe while drawing attention to her toned abs, thanks to the stomach-baring design of her top.

Although her specific top didn’t grace the runway, the singular sleeve motif was a recurring theme throughout the show.

Models showcased various interpretations of the look in hues ranging from ivory to chocolate brown, red, and even a daringly nipple-baring gray version, showcasing Courrèges’ penchant for pushing boundaries.

Emily boldly embraced a controversial Y2K trend by pairing the statement top with a sleek, low-slung midi-length black skirt featuring a daring side slit, adding an element of sophistication to her look.

Embracing a chic street-style aesthetic, she confidently strutted in matching chunky black leather boots, ensuring her toes stayed out of sight.

Once more opting for simplicity, Emily accessorized with minimalism, clutching only a sleek black boxy Courrèges Holy Grained leather bag in her gloved hand, enhancing the monochromatic feel of her outfit.

Her beauty style paid homage to her iconic Southern California vibe. Contrasting her sleek and daring outfit, Emily opted for straight, natural hair adorned with rounded curtain bangs.

She highlighted her features with smoky eyes, fluffy brows, and sculpted cheekbones, finishing the look with her favorite nude lip gloss for a touch of effortless glamour.
