Nicky Hilton hit the red carpet at the FNAAs wearing Aquazzura’s popular ‘Bow Tie’ stiletto pumps, a favorite of Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle.

The sleek yet whimsical heels have been worn by a number of celebrities, including Ellie Goulding, Keke Palmer, Olivia Wilde, and Florence Pugh. The pointed style is defined by sultry cut-out sides and a dainty knotted bow at the back.

Offered in various colors, prints, and materials, they also come in different heights ranging from kitten heels to sky-high stilettos. Hilton opted for a velvety black version resting on a skinny 4.1-inch heel.

The rest of Hilton’s glamorous look included a black embellished minidress featuring rhinestone-trimmed bows adorning the cut-out bodice and bow-inspired butterflies made of sparkling silver sequins. The sleeveless dress from Rebecca Vallance’s Holiday 2024 collection also featured a pleated skirt. She tied things together with an oversized black velvet bow in her hair, pearl earrings, and a black clutch.

Hilton actually co-designed a line of festive dresses with Vallance. A cocktail party celebrating the launch of the partnership was held at the Bel Air residence of Rick and Kathy Hilton in October.
