During Paris Fashion Week’s “Antibiblioteca” show, numerous celebrities showcased their unique styles with Valentino Garavani Rockstud pumps. Notable appearances included Naomi Watts, wearing a playful purple suede version with patterned lace tights, and Princess Maria-Olympia of Greece, who opted for white Rockstuds featuring metallic silver cap-toes.
With the Rockstud shoe’s historical roots tracing back to Valentino’s fall 2010 collection under Maria Grazia Chiuri and Pierpaolo Piccioli, the design features pointed toes and pyramid-shaped studs. After their popularity surged throughout the 2010s, the shoes are now witnessing a revival, supported by high-profile endorsements from stars like Meryl Streep and Dakota Johnson.
The trends at the show highlighted not just the Rockstud’s comeback but its versatility, as attendees such as Clairo, Rei, and Liz of IVE showcased various iterations. Each celebrity brought their flair, from Clairo’s red pleated attire paired with black Rockstuds to the K-Pop stars coordinating in black and white hues. The event marked a significant moment for the iconic footwear, signifying a full swing in the Rockstud revival.
