Elsa Hosk Wore the Shoe Trend That's More Elegant Than Ballet Flats to the Airport

When I think of celebrities who have the latest trends and It items on whenever they step out the door, Elsa Hosk immediately comes to mind. Her style is so good that I recently wrote a story about nine fall outfits she's already worn as of late, and I could've included many more. Her latest airport outfit is one of them.
Hosk touched down at CDG airport this week to attend Paris Fashion Week, and her travel outfit was nothing short of perfection. Hosk paired the Polo Ralph Lauren barn jacket everyone is trying to get their hands on with sweatpants, a red sweatshirt and matching red hat, and a Hermès bag. And on her feet were a pair of almond-toe flats, the shoe trend that's ballet flats-adjacent, but is far more elegant. (For context, almond-toe shoes are a softer, more rounded version of a pointed toe.)
The flats Hosk wore with chocolate brown crew socks were Loro Piana's iconic Rebecca Flats, which retailers struggle to keep in stock. They're just as comfortable as ballet flats but will make even sweatpants look elevated. So if Hosk has inspired your next shoe purchase, keep scrolling to shop some of the best almond-toe flats online.
