After it first appeared on the Autumn\/Winter 2010 runway, everyone ran with it\u2013quite literally. The iconic shoe became a symbol of noughties fashion and a wardrobe staple for every type of woman, from Hollywood actresses and corporate powerhouses to young, club-going party girls. As nostalgia continues to reign, creative director Alessandro Michele gives the beloved shoe a modern update.<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The announcement of this comeback was timed perfectly with the long-awaited return of another cult favourite, <i>The Devil Wears Prada<\/i>. In the sequel\u2019s teaser, the character of Runway\u2019s editor-in-chief and all-powerful tastemaker Miranda Priestly, played by the incomparable Meryl Streep, stepped into the office wearing pumps with the iconic Valentino Rockstud design.<\/p>\n\n<div class=\"bz-embed\"><p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/9c-DrMe8o5Q?si=sS9jQq8gtAiOk6pi\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p><\/div>\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Part of Valentino\u2019s Pre-Fall \u201926 offerings, the new, revamped silhouette reinterprets the emblematic cage design with chiselled, pointy toes with a platinum finish and signature red insoles. With varying heel heights at 100mm and 40mm and a range of colours, including bright green and light blue, these heels give the new generation a taste of the past, ushering in another era where the Valentino Rockstud pumps are ubiquitous, inescapable, and styled with every outfit.<\/p>\n<div class=\"px-4 md:px-8 max-w-[1100px] mx-auto\">\t<figure class=\"my-12 md:-mx-16\">\n\t\t<div class=\"grid grid-cols-2 gap-3 md:gap-6 relative items-start\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative aspect-[4\/5] bg-stone overflow-hidden\"><img width=\"1080\" height=\"1620\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_058.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, 50vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_058.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_058-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_058-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_058-768x1152.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mt-2 max-w-xs\"><span class=\"caption\"><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"relative aspect-[4\/5] bg-stone overflow-hidden\"><img width=\"1080\" height=\"1619\" src=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_063-1.jpg\" class=\"absolute inset-0 size-full object-cover\" alt=\"\" sizes=\"auto, 50vw\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_063-1.jpg 1080w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_063-1-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_063-1-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/itpbaz.kinsta.cloud\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/05\/VALENTINO-PRE-FALL26_LOOK_063-1-768x1151.jpg 768w\" \/><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"mt-2 max-w-xs\"><span class=\"caption\"><\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The Valentino Garavani Rockstud pumps, sandals and flats, are available in boutiques worldwide.<\/h2>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Surprise!
