Thank You, Amal Clooney, for the Intro to This Leg-Lengthening Shoe Brand

Amal Clooney has already schooled us in cocktail attire and outerwear staples, and now she's coming after our shoe collections too. Photographed en route to Columbia Law School in New York City, Clooney wore a chic Michael Kors coat, Emilia Wickstead skirt and Dior bag, but our eyes were transfixed on her cool patent heels. Designed by Vienna-based womenswear brand Petar Petrov, the heels feature an angular cutout to elevate the idea of the classic court shoe for work—not to mention this kind of asymmetric line lengthens legs a treat by drawing the eye down, especially when paired with a demure midi. If you aren't familiar with the designer, now's the perfect time to get acquainted: His lace-up ankle boots, satin dresses, and checked blazers are calling your name. Scroll down to see how Clooney styled her shoes and then shop them for yourself.
