Kylie Jenner’s Thigh-High Balenciaga Boots Are A White-Hot Summer Shoe Trend
When it comes to party looks, Kylie Jenner knows how to make a statement.
The beauty mogul stopped by the Chateau Marmont in West Hollywood Friday night for Zack Bia’s birthday (carrying a cutout of her friend), wearing a retro-inspired, head-to-toe Balenciaga look that was both red and white-hot — especially the gravity-defying, thigh-high boots.
The footwear was none other than the now-sold out Balenciaga Knife over-the-knee boots. The made-in-Italy shoes feature a polyamide and elastane construction with a 4.3-inch heel, a flat, sharp-pointed toe and a no-zip design. These boots originally retailed for $1,650. This silhouette can be found in the black color way, on sale for $756 at bergdorfgoodman.com.
Jenner paired the statement boots with the brand’s Tab short wrap dress, a long-sleeved mini constructed from red stretch jersey. It features dropped shoulders and a tie-waist detail. This item retails for $1,050 and is available for purchase on Farfetch.com.
Over-the-knee footwear has long been a staple in this famous Kardashian sister’s wardrobe. For Cardi B’s and Megan Thee Stallion’s ‘Wap’ video, she wore a head-to-toe leopard ensemble with coordinating leopard thigh-high boots.
From recent sightings, it appears that white pointy-toe shoes are the entrepreneur’s go-to footwear style this summer. In August alone, she’s been spotted wearing choices including this pair of Bottega Veneta’s BV point pumps and various Balenciaga styles.
Most notably, earlier this month, Jenner wore a similar pair of shoes from the luxury brand’ while posing for an Instagram with her best friend and fellow social media influencer, Anastasia Karanikolaou.
In the photo, she paired the Balenciaga Square Knife Leather Pumps with thigh-high white stocks, mimicking the look of this boot, and styled the footwear with a white long-sleeve dress and bright orange Prada accessories. The heels feature a 3.7-inch stiletto heel and a sharply pointed toe. They retail for $795 and can be found on MatchesFashion.com.
