The classic shoes you’re not used to seeing in the summer are making a grand return and in a new way. Summer is all about light layers, ease, and comfort, which is maybe the antithesis of these anti-trend shoes celebrities are wearing. The shoe style is pumps, which tend to be reserved for more formal events, but that doesn’t seem to be the case anymore. Some of our favorite It girls are wearing them in a casual way this summer with their minidresses.
The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri was spotted in L.A. recently in a fiery red dress (the Croisière Draped Minidress by Jacquemus) with a pair of black Gianvito Rossi pumps for her arrival at Jimmy Kimmel Live!. The look was exquisitely cool and casual, much like the brown suit dress and tie paired with pointed-toe pumps in the same hue that Sydney Sweeney recently wore. On a night out in NYC, actress Lily James wore a black minidress with black pumps, and Hailey Bieber took a beat from James for the Audemars Piguet event in a black sleeveless minidress and black pointed-toe pumps.
Looks like this shoe style isn't going anywhere anytime soon, and we’re here for it. It’s dressy, it’s casual, and it’s classic. Keep scrolling to shop the pumps to pair with your minidresses this summer.
