This Shoe Styling Hack Is the Secret to Looking Chic and Expensive Without Much Effort
Zendaya just adopted the underrated styling trick that ensures your outfit and your shoes always go.
Whilst Zendaya isn't exactly one to shy away from an experimental fashion moment, even the most bold amongst us sometimes fall back on time-tested styling tricks when getting dressed—and this week in New York, she reminded me of one of the easiest ways to make an outfit look instantly polished with minimal effort.
Stepping out in a beautifully pleated slate-grey dress by Louis Vuitton, Zendaya tapped into a tonal look to bring easy cohesion to her outfit. Rather than breaking up the look with a contrasting accessory, she kept the palette streamlined, pairing the dress with glossy pointed-toe heels in the exact same shade of grey.
Creates a sense of cohesion, this easy styling trick ensured an elegant, modern look that felt completely wearable.
What I especially loved about this look was the colour choice itself. Instead of defaulting to classic black—or leaning into louder trending shades like turquoise—Zendaya opted for a softer, grown-up neutral that gave the outfit a grounded, refined feel without looking too serious.
If you’re tempted to try the styling trick for yourself, keep scrolling to shop the grey dresses and matching shoes inspired by Zendaya’s chic look.
