Natasha Poonawalla, and those shoes you don’t expect under the dress

Any stylist should recommend the right shoe for a social event would have no doubt in answering: of the décolleté. A timeless classic, so much so that they have become synonymous with elegance and style.

Yet, you know, an entire evening on heels is not easy to handle and certainly he thought so too Natasha Poonawallaexecutive director of the Serum Institute of India – Indian company operating in the field of biotechnology -, which surprised with an “out of the box” choice.

The event is the gala of The Prince’s Trust – UK charity founded in 1976 by the prince Charles to help vulnerable young people get back on their feet – and this is where Natasha made its entrance in style.

A fluffy black designer dress Balenciaga, from the Spring / Summer 2022 collection, characterized by a long skirt, and which leaves only the forearms slightly uncovered. To complete the ensemble a bright heart-shaped handbag.

However, underneath this triumph of flounces, there is a detail fluo unexpected. Indeed, Natashainstead of a pair of black stilettos, wear comfortable, rather flashy neon sneakers.

Will it be a touch of style or did he simply not want to suffer for the duration of the event? Whatever the answer, we can only stop and admire “the choice” of wearing this pair of shoes … and complete with a white sock.
