Most Wanted: Valentino Rockstud Sandal

Perhaps one day, studs will go out of style. But it hasn’t happened yet. From a badass pair of leather gloves to the above T-strap heels, we can never resist a studded leather item—especially one from Valentino. The black patent leather shoe’s pointy toe, spike heel, and formidable lining of studs are not to be messed with. We’d pair it with a leather jacket and an LBD, or black skinny jeans and a giant gray cashmere sweater for dominatrix meets downtown street-chic. Priced at $1,045 and available at Neiman Marcus.

THIS MOST WANTED ITEM WAS SELECTED BY INTERVIEW ASSISTANT MARKET EDITOR STEPHANIE STRAUSS.
