Olivia Attwood Declares Designer Heels an 'Investment' After Lavish NYC Shopping Trip

Olivia Attwood has purchased a pair of Gucci heels totaling £2,500 during a shopping excursion in New York City.

The TV presenter, 35, referred to the designer footwear as an "investment" on Instagram, describing them as "the most elegant, classy, timeless shoe."

Attwood's new additions to her wardrobe include £1,640 Gucci boots and £840 slingback pumps. "It's what we call girl math, it's an investment but it's not an investment because I will never see a penny of this back but I will wear it a lot," she stated.

She noted that the boots reminded her of styles from the early 2000s, evoking comparisons to fashion icons like Paris Hilton and Nicole Richie. "If you told me a year ago I was going to buy a shoe with Gucci logo all over, I would have laughed in your face, but here I am and I think they are kind of c**t," Attwood said.

This designer spending follows a recent showcase of a £20,000 Hermes clutch bag gifted to her by boyfriend Pete Wicks. Attwood displayed the bag in a TikTok video while preparing for a night out in New York City.

For the evening, she wore a La Perla slip dress, noted as being identical to one worn by Margot Robbie in the 2013 film "The Wolf of Wall Street." Her accessories included knee-high boots, oversized Gucci sunglasses, and the Hermes Kelly Cut Epsom Bleu Glacier clutch.

Attwood recounted the dress's connection to Robbie's character in the film. She also mentioned her Gucci sunglasses and the Hermes bag from Wicks, pairing them with "perfect YSL boots" for fashion week parties.

Fans reacted positively to the gift from Wicks, with comments like "Yes Pete did well with the purse" and "Bet Pete is drooling over this."

The couple, who recently made their relationship public on social media, presented an award together at the National Television Awards. Wicks playfully remarked about Attwood being a "Loose Woman," referencing her role on the talk show, to which she responded by noting his fondness for "loose women." The presenter also shared a kiss on the red carpet, marking their public debut as a couple.
