If you look closely—maybe even squint a little—you’ll notice that Gwyneth Paltrow has quietly thrown her support behind one of spring’s most intriguing colour trends.
At first glance, her outfit at a recent L.A. launch event seemed like a masterclass in relaxed minimalism. The floor-length wool coat? Cool and dramatic. The crisp white jeans? A fresh contrast. But the real magic was happening at ground level. Almost camouflaged against the dark carpeting, her rich olive green pointed-toe heels nodded to a trend that’s about to take off in a major way.
While olive green might not be the first shade you associate with spring, designers certainly have it on their minds right now. Stella McCartney, Mugler, and Acne Studios all championed the earthy hue in the form of sleek heels across their spring/summer 2025 collections, affirming that it's one of the new-season shades that matters the most.
For her own take, Paltrow chose Ferragamo's curved-heeled Eva Pumps (£725), but there are plenty of stylish alternatives to tap into this growing trend. If you were drawn to the rich chocolate brown tones that dominated fashion this winter, you’ll likely find yourself equally enamoured with this new-season neutral. Ready to get ahead of the curve? Scroll on to shop the olive green heels that are about to be everywhere.
