Hollywood's brightest stars graced the red carpet at Variety's Power of Women 2024: Los Angeles event last night. Among them was Kate Beckinsale, standing tall and radiant on two giant pink platform shoes.

The actress wore a dress that had a transformative effect. Designed with a corset bodice, it provided ample support, accentuating the waist and neckline while maintaining a structured silhouette. The voluminous skirt, on the other hand, added a touch of playfulness and movement to the overall design, creating a garment that combined elegance and playfulness.

Crafted from luxe, glossy materials, Beckinsale's shoes were a bold pink hue. The shoe's peep-toe design playfully reveals the foot, while the knotted upper adds a sophisticated touch. A towering 6-inch heel elevates the shoe and is further accentuated by a platform sole. The blooming flower in the middle of the toe strap gives it the ultimate pop.

The platform heel trend gained popularity in the 1970s with the disco era and has made a comeback in various forms since then. Platform heels now come in a variety of styles, from sandals to boots, and can be worn dressed up or down depending on the occasion.

In recent years, platform heels have enjoyed a significant resurgence in popularity. This resurgence can be attributed to a growing fashion trend that seamlessly combines functionality with eye-catching aesthetics. Platform heels have transcended their status as a fleeting trend and become a staple in the wardrobes of famous celebrities like Lady Gaga and Salma Hayek.

The Click star has been spotted in this silhouette before, so it seems to be part of her footwear philosophy. Their versatility makes these shoes equally suitable for red carpet events and casual streetwear, adding an effortlessly chic upgrade to any outfit.

The Variety Power of Women event serves as a tribute to the entertainment industry's most outstanding and influential female figures and recognizes their extraordinary achievements and contributions. In 2024, Amy Adams, Carol Burnett, Zoe Saldaña and Sarah Hyland were honored for their philanthropic efforts.
