Heidi Klum Channels Old Hollywood Glamour in Suede Pumps at People’s Choice Awards
Santa Monica, CA – Heidi Klum delivered a dose of vintage elegance on the turquoise carpet at last night’s People’s Choice Awards, held at the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica, California. The Making the Cut hostess and supermodel extraordinaire arrived in a black and white Kamilla Purshie strapless mini dress with a voluminous back bow flowing into a train, paired with sheer black stockings that highlighted her endlessly long legs. But the true crowning glory that pulled the look together into an Old Hollywood dream were Ms. Klum’s black suede Gianvito Rossi pointed-toe pumps, featuring the Italian brand’s signature 4-inch stiletto heels.
The pumps were the perfect partners for Ms. Klum’s black and white ensemble, adding a classic touch to the modern fashion statement. Along with the black choker and layered pearl necklaces gracing her décolletage, the 49-year-old’s ensemble emanated a hybrid of contemporary style meets a 1950s silver screen goddess. Ms. Klum’s luminous complexion, with its smokey eyes and soft pink pout engineered by go-to glam squad Linda Hay and Lorenzo Martin, left no doubt as to her star power.
Ms. Klum’s stylist duo Mariel Haenn and Rob Zangardi, who also work with the likes of Jennifer Lopez and Gwen Stefani, have been crafting show-stopping looks for the former Victoria’s Secret Angel as of late. These include the fiery red gown and satin heels Ms. Klum recently dazzled in at the Golden Globes. But for last night’s more playful occasion, the styling team opted for Ms. Klum’s favorite accessory: her enviable gams, elevated by those Rossi pumps.
The model and host has never been one to shy away from vibrant colors, patterns, and vertiginous heels from labels like Saint Laurent, Maison Valentino, and Giuseppe Zanotti. Whether dressed to the nines for a red carpet event or relaxing poolside on vacation in Miami, Ms. Klum always appears effortlessly polished from head to toe.
Lately, the outspoken star has also been pushing back on unrealistic stereotypes about aging. After false rumors swirled that Ms. Klum adheres to a dangerous 900 calorie per day diet, she slammed the claims as “beyond bonkers.” She told reporters, “I just hate when people lie like that… There’s so many people out there that follow or read this, and they say, ‘Oh, she does this, so now I’m only gonna eat 900 calories.’ When it’s about other people’s health, I feel like I have to step in and say, ‘Wait a minute.’ I would be like a toothpick.”
Indeed, Ms. Klum showed no signs of deprivation in her lithe yet womanly figure accentuated by the sleek lines of those Gianvito Rossi black suede pumps. In celebrating her natural beauty and wise self-care regimens, the supermodel sets an empowering example for women of all ages. With her show-stopping style and frank wisdom, Ms. Klum continues to prove herself as much more than a pretty face – she’s a bonafide icon through and through.
