Rosie HW Just Wore the Controversial Shoe Trend We Did Not See Coming

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one of the few celebrities I consistently look to for outfit inspiration. Favouring minimal style, chic cuts and enduring elegance over flash-in-the-pan trends, the model’s sharp looks have turned her into a fashion icon in her own right. Throwing together a winter-ready outfit in London this week, Huntington-Whiteley put together several of our favourite winter buys, including an unexpected addition. 

Styling a monochrome outfit, she opted for a black midi dress, which she styled underneath a long-line white coat. The structured shoulders of the coat gave a polished effect, leaning into Huntington-Whiteley’s signature style. Then, for an unexpected twist, the model opted for a divisive shoe trend with her classic look, one that we’ve started to spot more and more frequently this season. 

On Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: The Row Round-Toe 90 Leather Pumps (£725). After a few years out of the trend cycle, the peep-toe shoe is back, once again seen on the feet of those in the know. A long-time favourite of Victoria Beckham, peep-toe shoes have been making appearances on red carpets and at evening events and casual outings alike. Wearing hers with fishnet tights (another trend that’s recently made a comeback), Huntington-Whiteley opted for a pair from cult brand The Row. Currently on sale at MATCHES, the sleek shoes are available with an amazing 50% discount. 

Taking on the “dated” shoe in a sleek, wearable way, Huntington-Whiteley has just given me so much new-found styling inspiration. So if, like me, you’re interested in reviving this once-forgotten shoe trend, read on to shop my edit of the best peep-toe shoes.
