Hollywood’s brightest stars graced the red carpet last night at Variety’s 2024 Power of Women: Los Angeles Event. Among them was Kate Beckinsale, who stood tall and radiant on a pair of towering pink platforms.

The actress donned a dress that had a transformative quality. Designed with a corset top, it provided ample support, emphasizing the waist and neckline, while maintaining the structured silhouette. The voluminous skirt, on the other hand, brought a touch of whimsy and movement to the overall design, creating a garment that combined elegance and playfulness.

The Beckinsale shoes, made of luxurious shiny materials, had a striking pink hue. The shoe’s peep-toe design playfully reveals glimpses of the foot, while the knotted upper adds an intricate touch. A towering 6-inch heel takes the shoe to the next level, further accentuated by a platform sole. The blooming flower in the center of the toe strap gave it the ultimate look.

The platform heel trend became popular in the 1970s during the disco era and has since made a comeback in various forms. Platform heels can now be found in a variety of styles, from sandals to boots, and they can be dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

In recent years, platform heels have seen a remarkable resurgence in popularity. This resurgence can be attributed to a growing fashion trend that seamlessly combines functionality with striking aesthetics. Platform heels have transcended their status as a fleeting trend and have become an essential part of the wardrobe of A-list celebrities like Lady Gaga and Salma Hayek.

The “Click” star has been seen in this silhouette before, so it seems to be part of her footwear philosophy. The versatility of these shoes makes them suitable for red carpet events as well as casual streetwear, providing an effortlessly chic upgrade to any outfit.

The Variety Power of Women event honors the most prominent and influential female figures in the entertainment industry and recognizes their exceptional achievements and contributions. In 2024, Amy Adams, Carol Burnett, Zoe Saldaña and Sarah Hyland were honored for their philanthropic efforts.
