Although they may not be practical, Victoria Beckham's favorite airport shoes are the most stylish I have ever seen.

      When it comes to delivering a remarkable outfit, Victoria Beckham is someone you can always rely on. Be it heading to a fashion event or moving through Heathrow's lounges, the designer always presents herself in a way that's truly noteworthy. Beckham approaches every outing as if it's an event, and the airport has become one of my favorite venues to analyze her distinctive style. There's something captivating about airport fashion; it embodies the closest approach to loungewear in public, striking a delicate balance between comfort and individuality. For many of us, this means leggings and sneakers, while for Beckham, airport looks are a sleek showcase of runway-ready attire.

      Although numerous outfits worn by Beckham during her travels could be called iconic, I've noticed an unexpected detail that links several of her standout travel ensembles: peep-toe shoes. Eschewing the typical travel-friendly footwear—such as sneakers, loafers, and ballet flats—Beckham often takes flights in striking open-toe heels. Whether it's strappy stilettos or thigh-high boots with a toe opening, her choices at the airport lean significantly towards fashion-forward rather than practical.

      While these might not be the best option for maneuvering through security lines or sprinting to gates, their impressive style is undeniable. Beckham has remained faithful to peep-toe shoes for years, well before their resurgence in popularity. Currently, this silhouette is gaining traction again, featuring in collections from designers like Miu Miu, Prada, and, of course, Beckham’s own brand.

      There’s something intrinsically graceful, even rebellious, about reclaiming a shoe that was once regarded as outdated and wearing it with total confidence, especially in settings that prioritize practicality over aesthetics. Therefore, I consider her choice of footwear to be one of the most elegant she could have made, even if it doesn’t fulfill the practical criteria.

      While I may not be ready to swap my airport flats just yet, I'm now convinced that my everyday outfits could be enhanced with a pair of stylish, modern peep-toe shoes.

      Scroll down to check out my curated selection of the best peep-toe shoes below—whether or not you decide to wear them to the airport is entirely your choice.
