When Katie Holmes walked the red carpet on the opening night of Othello on Broadway, eagle-eyed Redditors were perplexed by the perpetual style muse's choice of footwear. They zoomed in on her reimagined T-bar sandals by Khaite that feature an angular toe covering and a pointy footbed. While we have seen cage sandals embraced by many other shoe designers, the fabric over one toe makes Khaite's take on the trend a standout style. It is precisely this unique point of view that makes both Redditors and fashion editors take note—a conversation piece, if you will. There's little we love more than an adventurous, fun pair of shoes, and Khaite hit a home run in our opinion.
Keep scrolling to see Holmes's head-to-toe Khaite ensemble and shop her exact pair of shoes. If you like the strappy-sandal trend but aren't entirely sold on the cap-toe detail, browse additional options that may be a better fit for both your style and budget. We can't wait to see how Holmes styles these sandals next!
