If You Visit London This Summer, Prepare to Spot This Polished Shoe Trend On All the Locals


Wherever Bella Hadid goes, the fashion world follows. Case in point: during a visit to Paris this past March, the model was spotted in ballet flat sneakers—a style that’s since gained serious traction among French fashion people. Now, Hadid is once again setting the pace. Over the weekend in London, she stepped out in another standout footwear choice that’s already catching the attention of trend-savvy Londoners: slingback kitten heels.

Defined by their short, slim heel, ankle-framing strap, and typically pointed or almond-shaped toe, slingback kitten heels are classic and modern. Hadid’s particular pair, from cult-favorite Parisian label Maje, features bold buckle detailing on both the toe box and the slingback strap—a contemporary twist on the timeless silhouette. She styled them elegantly with a navy pinstripe blazer dress layered over a crisp white button-down, effortlessly tying the look together with her coordinating white heels.
