Heidi Klum has long mastered the art of the “theatrical” red carpet, but few looks capture her eclectic sensibility quite like the ensemble she wore to the Los Angeles premiere of Cirque du Soleil’s Luzia in December 2017.
By pairing a high-texture kimono dress with sleek, over-the-knee boots, the supermodel created a silhouette that remains a gold standard for winter evening wear.

The centerpiece of the look was a Rixo London “Iris” velvet kimono dress, featuring a meticulously embroidered tiger moving beneath a glowing moon.
To balance the intricate, Oriental-inspired motif, Klum leaned into the luxe velvet trend of that season, anchoring the outfit with “Sleek” over-the-knee boots by Stella Luna.
A hint of fishnet hosiery added a rebellious edge to the sophisticated velvet, while a simple gold cross necklace provided a clean, polished finish. This appearance didn’t just celebrate the circus; it cemented the over-the-knee boot as a timeless wardrobe essential for any high-drama fashion moment.

The choice of footwear wasn’t accidental; it highlighted the craftsmanship of a brand Klum has repeatedly turned to.
Stella Luna: Parisian-Chic Footwear With Asian Craftsmanship
For fashion insiders, Stella Luna represents a unique bridge between European design and precision craftsmanship. Founded in 2006 by Stephen Chi of the Stella Group—the same powerhouse responsible for manufacturing footwear for Prada and Givenchy—the brand has carved out a niche in “contemporary luxury.”

By utilizing Italian leathers and a Paris-based design team, Stella Luna offers the refined silhouettes of a heritage house at a more accessible price point.
This blend of high-end production and modern, versatile details is why the brand remains a recurring favorite for celebrities looking to elevate their footwear game.
