Are you a classic dresser or a trend lover? We write plenty of stories catering to both ends of the spectrum, but this one's for those who gravitate toward timeless pieces. While doing photo research for my Cannes Film Festival retrospective, I came across an image of Audrey Hepburn in 1960 wearing a pair of flats that looked strikingly similar to the Loro Piana ones Zendaya wore recently. The 64-year gap made me think of shoe styles that have been able to transcend trends throughout the decades.
Another popular shoe trend that celebrities have been wearing for over 50 years is T-strap sandals. Jackie Kennedy famously wore hers while on vacation in Capri, and Meghan Markle is known to wear them frequently. Finally, to round out this story, I included an image of Grace Kelly wearing ballet flats in Palm Springs in 1954, proving that the style has some serious longevity.
