While heading to lunch at Il Pastaio in Beverly Hills on December 17, 2021, Chrissy Teigen demonstrated an easy styling trick that turned one of The Attico’s most recognizable pumps into the focal point of an otherwise relaxed outfit.
Rather than letting her straight-leg jeans fall naturally, she wrapped the extra-long ankle ties of her leopard-print The Attico “Venus” slingback pumps around the hems, creating a cinched silhouette that has become one of the shoe’s signature styling details.

The rest of the outfit balanced luxury outerwear with casual basics. Chrissy layered Nour Hammour’s Paris-made “Mila” merino shearling coat over a white tank and distressed Citizens of Humanity “Emery” jeans, creating a relaxed backdrop that allowed the leopard-print pumps to stand out instead of competing with bold clothing.

The mid-rise Emery jeans feature a relaxed straight-leg cut with distressed knees, but their silhouette changes completely once the pump’s satin ties are wrapped around the ankles.
Instead of simply serving as fastening straps, they reshape the denim into a tapered silhouette—a styling approach that became closely associated with The Attico’s Venus pumps.

Produced in seasonal finishes including leopard-print satin and calf hair, The Attico’s Italian-made Venus slingback pumps became one of the label’s defining designs. Each version paired a sharply pointed toe with a low-cut slingback, wraparound ankle ties, and a slender stiletto heel that invited creative styling beyond the shoe itself.
Originally retailing for about $890–$950, the Venus gained a following for its extra-long ties, which could be wrapped around the hems of relaxed jeans—a styling trick Chrissy Teigen uses here to create a cinched silhouette.
While her leopard-print version has since disappeared from primary retail, Farfetch continues to stock newer Venus styles—including 100mm, 105mm, and 110mm pumps, embellished editions, and crystal versions—as of August 2026. Earlier seasonal releases, including the leopard-print design worn by Chrissy, are now most commonly found through luxury resale marketplaces such as The RealReal, Vestiaire Collective, Poshmark, and eBay.

Oversized gold hoops and softly waved hair kept the accessories understated, allowing a vintage red porosus crocodile Hermès Kelly Sellier bag to provide the strongest color contrast against the olive shearling coat.
The structured handbag echoed the outfit’s luxury focus without competing with the statement footwear.
