On October 31, 2019, Hailee Steinfeld joined the cast of Dickinson for a Build Series appearance in New York City, wearing a head-to-toe Valentino look that paired a graphic silk playsuit with sharply pointed Ringstud ankle boots.

Her black-and-white playsuit came from Valentino’s Resort 2020 Collection and featured the house’s repeating V logo, a contrasting white collar and button placket, and a long scarf-like tie.
She carried a white Valentino VSLING box calfskin shoulder bag over the printed romper, while sheer black tights created a continuous line into her boots.

Styled by Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, Steinfeld completed the look with EF Collection diamond baguette chevron stud earrings and black Valentino Garavani Ringstud 100mm ankle boots.

The pointed-toe boots feature high block heels, side zippers, and discreet studded detailing, giving the short playsuit a sharper finish without competing with its all-over logo print.

The black Ringstud boots reflect Valentino’s late-2010s move toward cleaner, more streamlined footwear while retaining the small metal hardware associated with the house’s Rockstud-era designs. Their pointed toes and substantial 100mm heels balance the short proportions of Steinfeld’s playsuit while keeping the silhouette relatively simple.

This creased patent-leather version of the Ringstud boot uses the same pointed silhouette and chunky heel, but the glossy finish gives the design a more pronounced texture.

Valentino also adapted the Ringstud shape into patterned versions, including this rose-print Undercover collaboration bootie with a rear pull-ring and signature studded trim.

A second Undercover version combined floral and lip motifs with the same pointed boot shape, pull-ring detail, and hardware accents.
Valentino’s Ringstud boots belong to a broader footwear story built around the Italian house’s distinctive use of metal hardware. Explore Valentino’s history and its iconic Rockstud shoes and see how studded shoes evolved from functional hardware into a fashion signature.
Years after Steinfeld wore the Ringstud boots in 2019, Valentino continued revisiting its signature studs, including the Rockstud-inspired shoes seen around its Fall 2026 collection.
