While Victoria Beckham is no stranger to a show-stopping style moment, the anatomy of her outfits don't often surprise me. So used to seeing her in sky-high stilettos and floor-grazing puddle pants, each new iteration that she debuts—stylish as they may be—no longer catch me off guard. Today, however, I saw the designer out in an item that I never even imagined she would own.
Refreshing a classic outfit formula with an unexpected buy, Beckham swapped her typically tall heels for a pair of kitten heel shoes. Selecting a 2.5" pair of Alaïa kitten heels for her night out in London, Beckham's shoe choice was a far more humble alternative to the 5"+ styles I've seen the designer wear over and over again. While she might have a penchant for an ultra-tall shoe as a heavyweight player in the fashion industry, Beckham is no stranger to a new-season It-item, and will always make room in her wardrobe to trial the season's chicest trends.

Trumping tall styles in comfort while offering a sleek silhouette drenched in '90s energy, this tempting trend has been bubbling up in fashion crowds for some time now. Always one to put her own stamp on a look, Beckham selected a sleek style with a clear PVC exterior and heart design on the toe. A cult-item amid Alaïa's in-demand collection, the Cœur Leather-Trimmed PVC Pumps (£920) merge the forgotten PVC trend with the fresh kitten heel silhouette to create a dynamic shoe that fashion people love. Frequently favoured by Beckham who has been known to style the brand's shoes regularly, Alaïa's French-inspired take on classic designs has attracted a swarm of celebrity shoppers over the past few seasons.
Completing her outfit with a double-breasted coat, white jeans and a roomy cognac bag slung over her shoulders, Beckham's chic evening look was aptly comfortable for a night in the city while remaining true to her typically stylish essence.
