Kaia Gerber Just Wore the Anti-Trend Shoe Style That's Coming for Ballet Flats
Every time I delve into the world of celebrity fashion, I'm always captivated by Kaia Gerber's choice of classic flats. Her preference for tasteful ballet flats and sleek Mary Janes never fails to spark my desire for crafting classy (and comfortable!) outfits. But today was a delightful twist. The model-turned-actress was spotted in a pair of heeled shoes for once, specifically ballet pumps, a choice that was both unexpected and intriguing.
On Wednesday, Gerber was spotted outside the Hayes Theater in New York City with her boyfriend, Austin Butler. She donned a minimalist pair of pull-on navy trousers, a navy graphic tee, and heeled ballet pumps, signaling a shift from the dominance of ballet flats. While unforeseen for heatwave dressing, her suede shoes demonstrated Gerber's savvy shopping mindset, focusing on wardrobe pieces that transition seamlessly between seasons.
