From Italy to NYC—These Are the Shoes Celebrities Are Already Wearing Ahead of Fall
Sandal season is hardly over yet, but a handful of celebrities have already moved on. Let’s discuss.
Fashion has never really cared about the calendar, and this year's early fall shoe rotation is proof. While the rest of us are still working through the last of our sandals, a handful of celebrities have already swapped in the boots, loafers, and structured pumps that will define the next few months. It started late July and every time I check the celebrity style news page, I see more fall moments. People are just truly ready for this season to kick off.
You don't need a full closet overhaul to keep up. There are already a few standout styles of the season's most-repeated shoe trends that will be worth investing in. Stars from Selena Gomez to Zoë Kravitz are giving a glimpse of exactly how to wear them before everyone else catches on. Below, see these 5 shoe trends I’d say are worth noting.
Selena Gomez
Selena Gomez wore her brown heeled boots in Venice while it was still 85 degrees out, and that's exactly the kind of confidence this trend calls for. If she says it’s worth overheating for, I’d say it’s something to invest in ahead of fall.
Emma Roberts
Emma Roberts showed up to US Open opening night in pointed two-tone pumps, and they did more work than any other piece in her outfit. It's the easiest way to keep a slip dress look from reading too sweet.
Elle Fanning
Need proof loafers never really left? Elle Fanning wore hers the way they're meant to be worn, low, polished, and paired with almost anything else in her closet. Yes, that includes a warm weather outfit.
Zoe Kravitz
Now, this is an outfit formula worth stealing if your closet is still stuck in summer mode. A pump iteration on the classic ballet flat has major staying power. Zoe Kravitz just so happens to be wearing the next shoe trend I want to buy into and I'm not at all jealous.
Harry Styles
Who knew boat shoes had this much off-duty range? Harry Styles wore his brown pair on a stroll between shows during his Madison Square Garden residency, keeping the rest of the outfit casual.
