Kendall Jenner appeared to float down the runway at the Le Défilé L’Oréal Paris runway show on Monday, wearing one of Gianvito Rossi‘s most popular transparent mules. The event was held at the Hôtel de Ville in Paris as part of the spring 2026 Paris Fashion Week.

Jenner sported Gianvito Rossi’s Elle 85 heels, which created the illusion of being barefoot thanks to their refined design featuring a transparent Plexi upper. Made from 100 percent TPU, the heels feature a delicate, see-through effect that perfectly complements the empowering theme of the fashion show.
The PVC upper secured the supermodel’s foot in place as she glided down the runway, and the shoe blended right onto her skin, elongating her legs. The sophisticated mules, crafted by expert artisans in Italy, are set on an elegant 85mm stiletto heel and feature an ultra-sharp pointed toe for a polished and modern finish.

The Gianvito Rossi Elle mules have become a favorite style among celebrities who are fans of the brand, coinciding with a growing mules trend that has been spotted on runways and on the red carpet. A long list of celebrities have been spotted wearing the backless Elle design on multiple occasions, including Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Graham, Georgina Rodriguez and others.
Jenner, who joined the L’Oréal Paris family as its newest global ambassador earlier this year, paired the barely there heels with a white, sheer dress. The sleeveless gown featured a deep V-neckline, a fitted corset bodice, a flowing sheer skirt and a high slit.
