I think we can all agree that white dresses are lovely, no matter what shoes you wear with them. That said, some white dresses can look a bit plain, but the shoes you choose to wear with them can instantly remedy that. Quintessential L.A. girl and white-dress fan Olivia Rodrigo attended a gala this week for Planned Parenthood, and for the occasion, she wore a Gucci dress. The side-slit dress with a horse-bit detail was the opposite of plain, but I noticed that she wore the shoe trend that I always see L.A. girls wear with white dresses, especially when out at night.
The shoe trend is metallic silver shoes. Rodrigo opted for a minimalist high-heel sandal version of the trend (with a silver bag, I might add). What I love about this white-dress–and–silver-shoe pairing is that the soft shine of the shoes perfectly complements the dress. Dark-colored shoes can look a bit heavy with white dresses, and neutrals can look a bit dull, but silver is just right.
With that, keep scrolling to shop a handful of white dresses and lovely silver shoes to wear with them.
