Not Black, Not Beige—This is the Unexpected Heels Trend Gwyneth Paltrow is Backing Instead
Gwyneth swapped black and beige heels for the one colour trend I never expected to see her in.
My heels collection tells the story of a woman who plays it safe with colour. Neat rows of black, white, beige and deep brown shoes line my shelves, with the occasional flash of colour relegated to a forgotten dust bag at the back of the wardrobe.
While I can confidently describe my edit as classic, it’s hardly the playful, mood-boosting rotation I’m craving now that party season is in full swing. And so began my search for a heels colour trend that could inject some much-needed variety into my otherwise predictable lineup.
Thankfully, Gwyneth Paltrow did what she does best. Stepping out in a hue I’d completely overlooked, she championed a pretty pale pink pump, inspiring my footwear rotation in the process.
In a soft blush shade, Gwyneth tapped into the optimistic colour trend set to dominate come spring. Leaning further into the unexpected, she styled the look tonally with a satin two-piece from Calvin Klein’s SS26 collection.
A compelling case for pale pink heels, I'll be taking my cues from Gwyneth’s latest outing. If you are too, scroll on to discover the chicest pink shoes to shop this season.
