Gigi Hadid just celebrated her milestone 30th birthday in style with a glitzy party in New York City, attracting some of Hollywood's brightest stars. Among the guests were familiar faces like Bella Hadid, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Anne Hathaway, all decked out in stunning outfits that turned heads.

Fashion aficionados like myself can’t help but notice what footwear celebrities choose to don. This year, the Gigi birthday guest list surprised us all—ultra-high heels made a striking comeback! After years of being pronounced ‘dead’ during the pandemic, particularly those towering stilettos replaced by the more modest kitten heel, it seems the five-year hiatus was more than enough.

As Gigi strutted in a chic Schiaparelli corset-style bodysuit paired with sleek leather pants, Bella Hadid flaunted a stylish Fendi bag. Meanwhile, Anne Hathaway dazzled with a Bvlgari piece, proving that glamour was the name of the game. As I scanned the star-studded crowd, the return of high heels was impossible to ignore; everyone looked fabulous in them!
