I Thought This Heel Trend Was Dated, But These Celebrity Outfits Just Changed My Mind
If you spend any time at all catching up on celebrity outfits, you'll probably know that a few key footwear trends have taken celeb style circles by storm.
Mary Janes are a go-to for day-to-day looks, Puma's Speedcat sneakers are the default for off-duty style, and pumps are the style of choice for most red carpet occasions. Recently, however, I've noticed a new shoe trend slip into outfits for every kind of event. Simultaneously fresh and familiar, T-bar heels have come back around this winter, and my favorite stylish celebs can't get enough.
Not an entirely new trend, T-bar shoes were originally popularized in the '40s and '50s but ebbed out of the mainstream toward the close of the century as a preference for court shoes and slingbacks moved in. Although it's regarded by some as dated, I think this shoe style actually conveys a timeless elegance that hasn't been properly explored for far too long. Made distinct via the "T" shape that traces the foot from the toes to the ankle, these heels come in styles ranging from tall platforms to sleek kitten heels and are being embraced by a growing number of brands this season.
Putting T-bar heels back on the map, Jennifer Lopez was spotted in a beige pair for a red carpet appearance over the weekend. Lopez gave the heels a modern twist by selecting a tall platform design, making them feel much more "her" while giving them 2024 energy.
Meanwhile, actor Jodie Comer recently wore a black block-heeled pair in a low-key but undeniably elegant way, styling them with a navy co-ord set. Comer's weekday outfit—a button-down blouse and a calf-grazing pleated skirt—was poised and polished and made all the more so by her elegant shoe choice.
Also integrating the winter trend into her day-to-day rotation, actor Zoe Saldaña was spotted styling black T-bar sandals with an all-black ensemble earlier this month. She paired them with silk trousers and completed her look with a partially unbuttoned black cardigan and a light smattering of jewels. Letting the T-bar detail peek out from the hem of her trousers, Saldaña's look blended one of 2024's most popular silhouettes with the once-forgotten shoes, creating an outfit that felt both timeless and modern.
T-bar shoes are clearly back on the agenda for the new season, and I predict that it won't be long until we see the shoes hit mainstream once again. To get ahead of the trend, read on to discover my edit of the best T-bar heels.
