Hilary Duff Wraps Younger in Black Leather Valentino Supervee Boots & Off-Set Gucci Sneakers

On January 28, 2021, Hilary Duff was photographed filming the seventh and final season of Younger in Downtown Manhattan, wearing a winter maternity look anchored by black Valentino Garavani Supervee knee-high boots.

Standing 5 feet 1 inch (154.9 cm), Duff has frequently worn substantial heels, platforms, and boots. Here, the Supervee’s block heels added height beneath a streamlined knee-high shaft, while oversized gold V-logo hardware made the otherwise simple black leather boots the focal point of her on-set outfit.

Hilary Duff’s Valentino Supervee Boots Add Gold Hardware to an All-Black Look

Duff wore a black knee-length belted coat over a pink rib-knit sweater, finishing the cold-weather layers with a thick red-and-black printed scarf. The mostly black palette also kept the focus on the gold hardware at the top of her boots.

The petite actress wore her hair half-up and half-down, with long drop earrings visible beneath the loose waves. Pink blush and lipstick echoed the pink knit peeking out above her coat.

Duff’s Valentino Garavani Supervee boots were the focal point. The smooth black leather knee-high style features oversized gold V-logo plaques at the cuffs, side zips at the instep, and block heels about four inches high.

The Supervee’s enlarged V hardware draws on Valentino’s archival logo, which appeared prominently in the house’s 1968 all-white collection. On Duff’s boots, that polished gold detail gives an otherwise streamlined black leather silhouette a harder edge—a contrast Valentino has also explored through its signature studded footwear. Hailee Steinfeld’s pointed Valentino Ringstud ankle boots, for example, pair sleek black leather and substantial heels with smaller gold-tone studs.

Duff returned to the Supervee boots while filming another of her final Younger scenes, this time wearing the black Valentino knee-high boots with slim black pants and a blush coat. The second styling shows the versatility of the simple black shaft and block heel, while the oversized gold V remains the defining detail.

Tall, block-heeled boots are a recurring part of Duff’s wardrobe beyond Valentino. She has also worn Gianvito Rossi knee-high boots with four-inch block heels, pairing the brown suede style with a sweater, denim mini skirt, and scarf.

Valentino has repeatedly used metal hardware to sharpen otherwise polished footwear. The house’s Rockstud family applies pyramid studs to pointed pumps, flats, sandals, and boots, while later designs such as the Roman Stud enlarged that idea considerably. The contrast helps explain the enduring celebrity appeal: Olivia Culpo paired oversized Roman Stud pumps with flowing Valentino chiffon, showing how hard-edged hardware can provide structure against softer, more feminine clothing.

Off Camera, Hilary Duff Trades Valentino Boots for Gucci x Disney Sneakers

After filming, Duff changed into a blue-and-green plaid coat over a black maxi dress and replaced the Valentino heels with low-top Gucci x Disney Tennis 1977 sneakers. The switch made the second look considerably more practical for walking around Manhattan while retaining a recognizable designer detail at her feet.

She carried a brown leather Fendi bag crossbody, with its wide logo strap adding another contrasting element to the plaid coat.

Duff also wore a white protective face mask, reflecting the COVID-19 precautions in place during filming in early 2021.

For footwear, Duff returned to the Gucci x Disney Tennis 1977 sneakers she’d also worn while arriving on the Younger set. The low-top shoes combine beige GG canvas with Mickey Mouse graphics, Gucci’s green-and-red Web stripe, and an off-white rubber sole.

The repeat wear offers an interesting counterpoint to her on-camera footwear: the Valentino Supervee boots provided the height and bold gold hardware Kelsey Peters’ polished wardrobe needed, while Duff’s Mickey Mouse sneakers served as a much more casual off-camera option.

From Valentino Boots to Everyday Sneakers: Hilary Duff’s Footwear Range

Duff’s Younger wardrobe shows two distinct sides of her shoe style: polished knee-high Valentino boots for the camera and well-worn Gucci sneakers once filming stopped. That same contrast runs through her fashion archive, from towering platforms and stilettos to Western boots and more relaxed everyday pairs.
