In an interview with Net-A-Porter's The Edit, Nicole explained: “My feet were killing me. It was a long dress, so I said to Keith: ‘Do you think anyone will notice?’ And I just took them off. It was so much more comfortable. I love the way that a high heel looks, but the actual wearing of it is a whole different thing.”
Here is Nicole at four separate Awards shows - with no way of telling she was shoeless in any of the photos.
Nicole also explained in the interview that she's not concerned with making it on to any 'best' or 'worst' dressed lists.
"I’m not a fan of ‘Worst Dressed’ things because I don’t believe in crucifying people for their individual [taste]. It just seems nasty and misogynistic, so that needs to go away," she explains.
“I have no problem being divisive,” she continues.
