Even when lingerie takes center stage, a fashion show is still all about the style — right down to the shoes.
The 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show didn’t disappoint. From the runway to the pink carpet, there was no shortage of stunning footwear. Models strutted in standout Sophia Webster and Nicholas Kirkwood shoes, while A-list guests like Olivia Palermo made their own bold fashion statements off the catwalk.

The then-27-year-old American socialite attended with her long-time partner, Johannes Huebl, and they both looked amazingly fabulous.
During the event, Olivia wore a casual plaid shirt from Paige paired with a formal-looking fringe skirt from Willow. She toted a Fendi Baguette striped mink and fox fur Baguette bag.
