The first time I laid eyes on the flats Gigi Hadid just wore was actually not on Gigi Hadid. It was on the S/S 25 Miu Miu runway—and I haven’t been able to get them out of my head ever since. It takes a lot for me to get excited by a pair of loafers at this point; there are a lot of them. But leave it to Miu Miu to defy the odds and design a fresh pair that I’d gladly splurge on. And of course, Hadid, the Miu Miu muse with impeccable taste, got her hands on them.
The shoes, which Miu Miu named the Ruches Loafers, may look like traditional penny loafers with Miu Miu’s signature logo at first glance, but they’re unique. The flats, which are made of buttery nappa leather, feature softly rounded square toes and ruched elastic heels that resemble ballet shoes. For this reason, I’m coining them ballet loafers. It’s the best of both worlds, don’t you think?
Hadid opted for the loafers in red to match her striped red-and-white button-down shirt, but the brand also makes them in white, chocolate brown, and black. I predict none of the colorways will stay in stock for much longer, so keep scrolling to shop if you need a pair in your life.
