Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Revives the Sculptural Peep-Toe Heel in Alaïa at The Beekeeper Premiere

In January 2024, Jason Statham and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley attended the UK premiere of The Beekeeper at Vue Leicester Square in London.

While the film drew attention at the box office, the red carpet became equally memorable for Huntington-Whiteley’s sharply modern Alaïa styling, anchored by sculptural peep-toe heels that helped define one of the decade’s most influential evening shoe trends.

Rather than relying on a classic pointed pump, Huntington-Whiteley chose black smooth calfskin leather Alaïa heels designed under creative director Pieter Mulier.

Their geometric triangular peep-toe opening introduced a more architectural silhouette that appeared across luxury collections from Alaïa, The Row, and Saint Laurent, helping revive the peep-toe as a contemporary eveningwear option. Although the original retail release has long since sold through, the style continues to circulate on luxury resale platforms, reflecting its lasting appeal.

Jason Statham was joined by his ever-supportive fiancée, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, on the red carpet at Vue Leicester Square in Central London for the UK premiere of his latest action movie, The Beekeeper.

The couple, together since 2010, radiated power in their matching black outfits. Jason was dapper in a black velvet suit over a black high-neck sweater, finished with shiny patent loafers.

Meanwhile, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore a sheer black Alaïa look by creative director Pieter Mulier that balanced soft knit textures with sculptural metallic accents, allowing her distinctive peep-toe heels to emerge beneath the hem as a subtle focal point.

Rosie’s Sheer Black Gown: Alaïa Textured Details Gold Belt

Drawn from Pieter Mulier’s Fall 2023 Alaïa collection, the look combined the house’s sculptural approach with lightweight knit construction. The fitted turtleneck silhouette, layered ruffled overskirt, and curved metallic belt created clean architectural lines without overwhelming the footwear.

She was braless underneath the flattering fitted bodice with a high neck and long sleeves. It was cinched at the waist with a $2,970 gold “Bumber” belt in a round curved shape made from 90% copper and 10% brass, fastened with an adjustable leather strap on the back.

The delicately knit maxi dress also had a textured mini skirt made from tiny ruffles layered around the hips. The exquisite creation was completed by a sheer skirt that cascaded down her long legs and a short, floor-sweeping train.

The statuesque model completed the look with black smooth calfskin Alaïa heels featuring the house’s signature triangular peep-toe opening.

Rather than relying on a classic pointed pump, the sharply sculpted silhouette reflected Pieter Mulier’s architectural vision for Alaïa footwear and helped usher the peep-toe back into modern eveningwear.

The original style has long since sold through at retail, but as of August 2026, Farfetch’s Alaïa selection continues to showcase the same sculptural design language through Le Cœur pumps and slingbacks, statement wedges, mesh styles, and other architectural heels that carry the house’s distinctive aesthetic forward.

The Transformers star completed the look with the help of longtime stylist Emma Jade Morrison, whose polished aesthetic also shapes the wardrobes of Alexandra Daddario, Sofia Richie, Emily Ratajkowski, and Martha Hunt. The accessories were intentionally understated, complementing the sculptural lines of her Alaïa ensemble rather than competing with them.

As a Tiffany Co. ambassador, Huntington-Whiteley chose yellow gold and diamond jewelry that echoed the warm metallic finish of her statement Alaïa belt. Her selections included Tiffany Lock earrings in 18-karat yellow gold with round brilliant diamonds (about $6,900), a Tiffany Soleste Half Eternity ring (about $2,700), a platinum Full Eternity ring (about $4,650), and an Elsa Peretti Doughnut ring in yellow gold.

She completed the look with an Alaïa Bombe gold-plated cuff, a Jessica McCormack Beaches Mini Conch Shell ring, a tilted pear diamond button-back ring, and an Ana Khouri x The Row ear cuff, adding subtle texture and sparkle while keeping the focus on the clean silhouette and architectural peep-toe heels.
