It’s not that I think floral dresses are "out"—honestly, I’m not sure that’s even possible—but I will admit there are a few fresh print trends that feel distinctly more 2025. Still, with the right styling, your favourite floral dress can absolutely hold its own this season. Case in point: Sofia Richie-Grainge, who just stepped out in a new shoe trend that made her summer dress feel thoroughly modern.
For a daytime outing in L.A., Richie-Grainge refreshed her romantic, LelaRose Floral-Printed Gown (£1100) with a very 2025 footwear choice: a glossy black Alaïa Wedge Mule (£1050) with a sculptural curved heel. Sleek yet striking, the shoe imbued her outfit with a playful edge, while keeping her signature unfussy and elegant aesthetic intact.
Instead of reaching for classic pointed-toe pumps or delicate Mary Janes, which might have felt a little prim against the boldly floral dress, the architectural heel brought fresh energy to her look, lending extra height and polish while remaining wearable and enduringly comfortable.
