As you'd expect given her popularity, Gigi Hadid's 30th birthday party that just took place in NYC was quite the star-studded affair. Fittingly, all of the attendees showed up in trendy outfits for the night out—including Hadid herself, who attended with Bradley Cooper and wore a corset-style bodysuit and leather pants.
I'm one of those people who always looks to see what shoes someone is wearing before anything else, and I noticed a trend when doing so with the birthday crowd, which included Bella Hadid (obviously), Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Anne Hathaway, to name a few.
For context (and to prove that my headline wasn't hyperbolic), pretty much everyone has been declaring high heels dead since the start of the pandemic and for several years thereafter. This was especially true for ultra-high stilettos, which were unofficially replaced with kitten heels. But based on the unofficial red carpet that was the entrance to Hadid's party, it seems that celebrities, at least, think that five years is enough of a hiatus and are ready to wear ultra-high heels for their nights out. After seeing how cool they all looked, I can't say that I blame them. Keep scrolling to see a handful of the partygoers for yourself and shop some of my favorite high-stiletto heels.
