TRANSPARENCY TREND: LORI HARVEY LEADS THE CLEAR SHOE REVOLUTION IN VICTORIA BECKHAM’S $995 PUMPS
Los Angeles was treated to another masterclass in high fashion as entrepreneur and model Lori Harvey graced the Fashion Trust U.S. Awards on Tuesday. The style icon commanded attention in a captivating ensemble from Jacques Wei’s much-anticipated fall 2025 collection, proving once again why she remains fashion’s favorite risk-taker.
Harvey’s carefully curated look featured a delicate spaghetti strap animal print top paired with an ethereal silk skirt in the softest shade of lavender. The skirt’s artfully twisted front detail created a sculptural element that epitomizes Wei’s architectural approach to design this season. Her sleek, pulled-back hairstyle served as the perfect canvas for her statement jewelry—multiple earrings and rings that added just the right amount of sparkle without overwhelming the ensemble.
However, it was Harvey’s choice of footwear that truly elevated the look into editorial territory. The model selected Victoria Beckham’s buzzed-about Transparent Heel PVC Pumps from the designer’s spring 2025 collection. These are not your average clear shoes—Beckham’s iteration features a razor-sharp pointed toe and a substantial yet elegantly curved heel, also crafted from transparent plexi. The result is a seamless, futuristic silhouette that creates the illusion of Harvey floating above the red carpet.
“A polished and provocative addition to the house’s footwear edit, the Transparent Heel PVC Pump in Beige creates a naked effect that is unapologetically sexy and works seamlessly with any outfit,” the Victoria Beckham brand notes of the design. Each pair is “meticulously hand-moulded from a block of transparent plexi” and features “a sculptural curved heel” completed with “a soft nappa sole and discreet holes on the sides of the plexi upper to avoid condensation”—a thoughtful detail that speaks to Beckham’s attention to both aesthetics and wearability.
The coveted pumps, which retail for $995, were first showcased during Victoria Beckham’s spring 2025 runway presentation last September. Fashion critic Booth Moore aptly described the collection for WWD as “a drama-filled exploration of silhouette, tailoring and sex appeal ‘using skin as an accessory.'” This philosophy clearly resonated with Harvey, who has mastered the art of strategic skin-revealing through her style choices.
Harvey wasn’t the only style star in attendance at the prestigious event. Gabrielle Union and Normani were among the constellation of celebrities who gathered to celebrate emerging design talent at the Fashion Trust Awards, though Harvey’s innovative styling set her apart from the crowd.
The model’s footwear selections have become a signature element of her fashion persona. Whether she’s stepping out in these transparent Victoria Beckham pumps, vibrant red Ferragamo heels, or Saint Laurent’s plush furry mules, Harvey consistently demonstrates her commitment to shoes that make a statement while complementing her overall aesthetic.
With this latest appearance, Harvey cements her status as one of fashion’s most exciting personalities to watch—someone who doesn’t just follow trends but creates moments that influence the style conversation.
