Someone was excited for Halloween! In October 2018, Ellie Goulding was ready for the spookiest holiday when she stepped out in London wearing white Margiela boots with scary-thin metal nails for heels.
Those nails look like they could punch straight through the 31-year-old British singer’s feet at the slightest misstep!

Though probably not as nightmare-inducing as artist Leanie van der Vyver’s “Scary Beautiful” reversed shoes, Ellie’s boots can still strike fear in the heart of any city dweller who has to deal with things like grates, cracked pavement, and cobblestone streets.

The “Love Me Like You Do” singer paired her frightening footwear with a non-threatening sporty-striped black sweater and Alexander Wang-embroidered jeans.
She kept things casual for her breakfast-time-slot radio interview and kept her long blonde hair untied and makeup simple.

If you find the metal heels on these Margiela boots scary, at least they’re not all rusted out like the nail heels on the Acne ‘Gemini’ booties and ‘Asteria’ pumps from 2010.
