Lindsey Vonn brought sharp style to the red carpet — with heels to match — for Time magazine’s A Year in Time event. The occasion celebrated the publication’s namesake Person of the Year and Time 100 honorees, including Kristen Kish and Claire Vlases.
On Tuesday, Vonn arrived to the occasion in a pair of classic pumps by Manolo Blahnik. The Olympic athlete’s style featured smooth black uppers with pointed toes and closed counters, finished by thin stiletto heels.
Vonn’s Blahnik pumps embraced the shoe’s classic shape, favored for its ability to sharpen both formal and casual outfits. Pairs are often released in a variety of colors, heights and finishes throughout the year, while still retaining their timeless pointed silhouettes with stiletto heels. This testament to the style can be seen through an array of new versions from numerous brands this season, including Kurt Geiger, Schutz and Stuart Weitzman.
The heels Vonn chose smoothly streamlined her ensemble for the occasion: a black Victoria Beckham midi dress, featuring a long-sleeved silhouette with a high neckline and cutout back. A gleaming gold watch and stud earrings, as well as a metallic bronze Marni clutch, completed her look with a tonal shimmer.
