This Is What Celebrities Are Wearing Instead of Nude Heels Now
Sponsor Content Created With Who What Wear, Target
While there was once a time when nude heels reigned supreme in the celebrity world (both on and off the red carpet) as the go-to leg-lengthening shoe choice, these days, it seems that our favorite trendsetters have swapped the longtime favorite for something a bit more festive. While equally as neutral, flattering, and classic, metallic heeled sandals—the new go-to—feel not only more forward but also more versatile, working for day or night and any outfit or occasion.
To illustrate and help you make the transition from nude heels to metallic, today, we're not only showing you how nine of our favorite It girls wear the staple, but we're also making it easy to shop their exact shoes plus our very own $35 take on the style in both silver and rose gold (naturally). So whether you're ready to splurge or want to save on an affordable (yet amazing) find, we've got you covered.
