Dame Vivienne Westwood presented the award to Emma Watson. During her speech, she candidly admitted that she was unfamiliar with Emma and had not seen the Harry Potter films. Emma accepted the award despite the unexpected introduction, showcasing her evolving fashion sense in a Hakaan Spring 2011 cutout dress paired with high heels.

The former Spice Girl flaunted her legs on the red carpet in a white dress by Azzedine Alaïa that featured sheer insets.

The Red Carpet’s Favorite Heel: Peep-Toe Pumps in Celebrity Style

She complemented her sleek dress with a bold magenta clutch and eye-catching printed platform peep-toe pumps. A staple of red carpet fashion, peep-toe pumps remain a favorite among A-listers for their ability to elongate the legs, add a touch of elegance, and effortlessly transition from classic to modern styles.

For instance, Beyoncé dazzled at her fragrance launch in a blue sequined mini dress paired with Christian Louboutin’s ‘Altadama’ peep-toe pumps.

Similarly, Michelle Yeoh graced the Gold Gala in black Sergio Rossi peep-toe platform pumps, complementing her cream-and-gold ensemble.

Geri’s choice of platform peep-toes was particularly striking, adding height and a playful contrast to the sleek structure of her Alaïa dress. Whether paired with a sequined gown or a structured cocktail dress, peep-toe heels elongate the legs and add an effortless elegance.

Textured heels can add depth and visual intrigue to a minimalist dress, while bold prints bring an unexpected edge. Looking closely, do you think Geri’s heels are textured or printed?
