Spotted in Manhattan: The New "Pretty" Ugg Flats That'll Be Everywhere by Winter 2025
Tessa Thompson wears them well.


While we've been busy focusing on fall 2025's It Uggs (the Elea Slip-Ons, FYI), little did we know that another new Ugg It shoe was hot on its heels, and it's a good one. The shoe designers at Ugg are getting creative, and we love to see it. The new shoes, which I'm going to go ahead and say are *the* winter 2025/2026 It Uggs, are a departure from the brand's usual cozy boots and mules, but they feature the trademark signature fur lining with a leather or suede outer. The shoes in question are the Ugg Zora Ballet Flats. Yes, Ugg made a ballet flat, and Tessa Thompson is the first celebrity to be spotted wearing them.
While out and about in Manhattan last night, Thompson was photographed wearing a long black jacket with a gathered midi skirt, and on her feet were a pair of the Ugg Zora flats in black leather with a white fur trim. As you'll see, they're decidedly more elegant and night-out-worthy than your typical chunky pair of Uggs, making them a versatile shoe to add to your winter wardrobe. And while I said winter, you can, of course, start wearing them now, perhaps with a skirt, as Thompson did.
My sellout Ugg track record is pretty good, and I don't see these staying in stock long-term, so take my advice and place your order before they start selling out. Keep scrolling to do just that.
