Gigi Hadid's Knee-High Boots Are an Optical Illusion

Model of the moment Gigi Hadid took a break from walking down the runway to spectate with boyfriend Zayn Malik at the Givenchy show at Paris Fashion Week. The couple posed for the cameras, and of course Gigi looked effortlessly stylish in a high-neck printed top from the brand with a white denim jacket tied around her waist—but for us, all eyes were on her footwear.
At first glance, Gigi appears to be wearing nondescript brown pumps, but upon closer inspection, we can see the contrasting shades of her knee-high boots. The monochromatic shades give a whole new meaning to a fall-friendly statement shoe. That wasn't the only optical illusion the Givenchy boots had us seeing—the leather boots feature a multi-colored prism style heel, giving the architectural feature an alluring pop of color.
