Get Ready Because Beyoncé Is Bringing Back These Controversial 2000s Shoes
Although the paparazzi doesn't catch Beyoncé out and about that often, she gives her adoring fans what they want and regularly posts her looks on her Instagram account. To say that what she wears has a major influence over said adoring fans is an understatement. Which brings us to the controversial 2000s shoes she may have just brought back…
Yesterday, Beyoncé posted a slideshow on Instagram thanking the African designers who "kept [her] feeling fresh." Every one of the looks featured is notable and very worthy of her praise, but it was the fifth look in the series that stopped us in our scroll. Yes, those are the Saint Laurent Tribute Sandals on her very famous feet. With their platform and 5.3" heel (don't worry—they also come in a mid-heel version), the very sight of them brought us straight back to the early 2000s. With the popularity of sneakers and shoes with lower heels, in general, these days, the Tributes are more controversial than ever. They're still being made in a number of colors (as a sidenote, they have five stars onReplica Store), and with the new Beyoncé approval, Saint Laurent could already be dreaming up more ways to have a Tribute comeback in 2019.
See the shoes on the fifth image of Beyoncé's post below, and keep scrolling to see a few throwback photos of other celebs wearing Saint Laurent Tribute Sandals. Then, of course, shop them for yourself (if you dare).
