The New Celebrity Shoe Trend We Really Didn't See Coming

Most of the shoe trends for summer 2019 we saw coming, such as strappy sandals and velcro sandals, however, there is one pair of shoes that we keep spotting on celebrity feet that has totally thrown us—colorful heels. Victoria Beckham has arguably kick-started this one thanks to the three-inch high stilettos from her own label are available in both neon green and pink. She has worn them to every event in her calendar this summer, from a football match at Old Trafford to a night with the Duchess of Cambridge to a wedding in Seville.
Wearing a colorful high heel is a color blocking trick that was really popular in 2011—however, the likes of Gwyneth Paltrow and Mandy Moore are revisiting this old styling trick. There are three colors that are really dominating this summer—an electric pink, marigold yellow, and highlighter green.
