While fashion week is the time for noting the trends to come for the next season, it also allows for more immediate style moments to transpire off the runway both on the street and backstage. With show-goers and models photographed wearing their most fashion-forward looks, right now Instagram is not only a hub for fresh outfit inspiration but a resource for spotting brands that may not yet be on your radar. That said, when it comes to footwear, Amina Muaddi shoes are popping up everywhere this New York Fashion Week.

Since launching in 2018, Jordanian-Romanian designer Amina Muaddi's namesake line has acquired quite the following of top influencers and celebrities (the brand has been worn by both Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Rihanna multiple times). Now, her eye-catching styles are taking over NYFW after being spotted on the likes of Gigi Hadid, Hailey Baldwin, and Kendall Jenner. So, taking that into account, you know it's only a matter of time before you start seeing even more members of the fashion crowd donning Muaddi's designs.

All it takes is one look through the Amina Muaddi lineup to see why these famous ladies have taken a liking to the brand. Featuring a mix of sleek sandals, heels, and boots, the collection brings together interesting shapes with luxe textures and glamorous embellishments. Basically, if you want a shoe moment, this is a brand you need to bookmark. And while all of the styles are photo-worthy, it's Muaddi's fluted-heels and whimsical color ways that really make the line recognizable and set it apart.

This distinct heel shape, in fact, was featured on all of the styles worn by the trio of top models during fashion week thus far. Kendall was snapped sporting the Gilda Slipper in the green crystal and leopard print version, while Hailey opted for the sparkly strappy Gilda Sandal in black; however, you can also snag this showstopper in a vibrant hue or in a glistening silver. As for Gigi? While in NYC she slide into the Holli Pumps — a chic slingback that's currently offered in a few iterations such as this multi-colored style.
