Spotted in Paris: 3 Heel Trends Fashion People Are Wearing With Jeans, Skirts and Dresses Right Now
Sorry, flats; this fashion month I was taken aback by the sheer number of chic heels that appeared outside shows on elegant Parisians. Keep scrolling to see the styles that stood out the most.
With Paris Fashion Week wrapped, we can finally bid au revoir to fashion month for another season. And naturally, with fashion's best-dressed racking up their step count, we had to take a closer look at the best shoes on show, from chunky trainers to animal-print boots. But whilst I adored Iris Law’s affordable leather loafers and have plenty of time for the understated ballet flats spotted on Dakota Johnson, there was one footwear category that truly had a hold on the fashion crowd this season: heels.
Whilst the French are often known for their ballet flats, I was taken aback by the sheer number of chic heel trends outside the shows this season. Zendaya's choice of classic courts had us all talking in the office, as did the nostalgic colour-blocking favoured by Chloe Sevigny. And before you write off black heels as "boring", the arresting shape that a very leggy Saoirse Ronan cast outside the Louis Vuitton show was one to silence the critics. Curious to see how these celebs adopted the shoe trends that dominated Paris Fashion Week? Keep scrolling to see and shop the heel trends so good you may actually want to trade in your flats.
Three Heel Trends Celebs Wore in Paris This Season
1. White Heels
Style Notes: Whilst everyone else was totally taken with Zendaya's jeans, tank top and statement jacket at the Louis Vuitton spring/summer 2027 show, it was her fresh white heels that had my attention. Her ruffled jacket would indeed leave a lasting impression regardless of the shoe choice, but her pointed-toe stilettos proved why white court shoes are so classic. Sleek in silhouette yet surprisingly versatile, they add just the right amount of polish, pairing particularly well with wide-leg, low-waisted jeans.
Shop White Heels:
The chisel toe creates a modern shape.
I can't quite believe that this pair is only £26.
These look almost identical to Zendaya's own.
I'd style these with a white tank top and low-rise jeans, just like Zendaya.
I have it on good authority that these are some of the comfiest heels on the market right now.
2. Curved Heels
Style Notes: Undoubtedly the year of the sculptural silhouette, this fashion week saw curved heels popping up everywhere, including on the feet of everyone's favourite Little Women star, Saoirse Ronan. Playing with proportions and lengthening the leg, the subtle outward curve creates a dynamic shape, adding an unexpected dimension to her scalloped-hem miniskirt and colour-blocked red jumper. This directional finish adds just the right amount of playfulness without feeling try-hard. All I need now is calves like Saoirse, and I'm set.

These shoes have been all over my social media feed this year.
Statement-making.
A walkable heel hight.
These look a lot more expensive than they are.
One for the maximalists!
3. Two-Tone Heels
Style Notes: In 1957, Gabrielle Chanel introduced the eternally iconic two-tone pump, and nearly 70 years later, the style still manages to exude an effortless sense of everyday elegance, especially on the feet of fashion darling Chloë Sevigny. Arriving at the Louis Vuitton dinner, she paired a puff-sleeve floral minidress with a pair of brown two-tone heels, striking the perfect balance between nostalgia and modern-day cool. The vintage feel added to the look's energy, but its polish is what made it impactful.
Shop Two-Tone Heels:
An instant best-seller.
I always size up in Reformation footwear.
The tan and black contrast instantly elevates this style.
These remind me of Barbie shoes, in the best possible way.
Style as Chloë has with a minidress on a warmer day.
