Saint Laurent’s Spring 2027 runway had plenty of gold, but the real troublemakers were beneath the models’ feet. Anthony Vaccarello’s heels arrived with sharp metallic toes, delicate chains and devilish curved shapes that looked as if they had escaped from a very glamorous underworld.
The footwear matched the show’s larger mood of intense gold glamour, dramatic tailoring and towering stilettos. Vogue described the collection as a golden spectacle with “high, high stilettos”, including sculptural S shaped heels.
The Devil’s Curved Heels
There was something deliciously wicked about it. These heels did not simply support the shoe. They appeared to have their own personality, bending, curling and threatening to bite anyone who came too close. They brought a playful sense of danger to Saint Laurent’s otherwise polished glamour.
The Chain Fringe Sandals
The design was ornate without becoming heavy. Against black hosiery, the gold chains looked like jewellery draped directly over the foot. They brought movement to the shoe, making the sandals shimmer and sway as the models walked.
This was the more decorative side of the collection’s footwear, but it still carried Saint Laurent’s sharp attitude. The sandals were not delicate in a romantic way. They felt more like evening armour, designed for someone who enters a room expecting to be noticed.
The Gold Armour Toe
The exaggerated pointed toe gave them a slightly mischievous, almost cartoon villain quality. They were elegant, but not entirely trustworthy. One could imagine them appearing beneath a tuxedo, a sharply cut evening dress or a brocade suit while quietly plotting something dramatic.
The coloured versions softened the intensity slightly. Burgundy brought a deep wine richness, while black made the gold toe look even more graphic. The gold pair, naturally, went straight into full Saint Laurent theatre.
Styling the Saint Laurent Way
The chain sandals belonged with bare legs, black hosiery and fluid evening pieces. The pointed gold toe heels suited cropped trousers, pencil skirts and sharply cut dresses. The curved devil heels needed very little else. A long black dress, slick hair and a confident walk would be enough.
Saint Laurent’s Spring 2027 heels were glamorous, theatrical and slightly unhinged. They sparkled like jewellery, pointed like weapons and curved like little golden devils. In a show built around the power of gold, these shoes made sure the drama began from the ground up.
