The Naked Shoes Everyone Wears on the Red Carpet Just Got a Chic Update
Stuart Weitzman’s Nudist sandals, also known as the “giving sandals,” received a subtle but super-chic update for spring. The two-strap sandals that you can spot on every single red carpet are now available in a square-toe option as seen below. The updated design for spring was further updated for pre-fall, thanks to Giovanni Morelli, Stuart’s Weitzman’s new creative director, with beautiful silver hardware (check out a sneak peek at the end of this story), or, if you’re in the Los Angele area, you can shop the pre-fall style at the newly renovated Stuart’s Weitzman store in Beverly Hills.
While the original nudist sandal will remain a wardrobe staple (for celebrities and women everywhere), we’re very much into the fresh take on the classic heel style. The square toe plus the thicker straps and heel lend a retro ’90s vibe, and we can’t wait to see which celebrity wears the new nudist heels first. Shop the updated sandal style below.
