Zendaya Is Already Wearing Fall's Most Elegant Shoe Color Trend

It's that time of year when everyone is either lamenting the end of summer or anxiously awaiting fall's arrival. If you're in the former category, perhaps discussing a chic autumnal shoe trend will help get you excited for the next few months. Today, we're not talking about just any old celebrity-approved footwear choice—we're reporting on shoes worn by the one and only Zendaya. She was recently photographed in London wearing a pair of Maison Margiela loafers in the color trend that comes roaring back into style every fall, without exception: burgundy.
I have no doubt that burgundy shoes will be hugely popular come fall, but you don't have to take my word for it. I recently interviewed acclaimed stylist Karla Welch, who predicts that burgundy will be the most dominant color trend next season. Plus, the hue was all over the fall/winter 2025 runways at influential brands like Gucci, Prada, and Ferragamo. Scroll down to see how Zendaya styled the trend and shop similar shoes for yourself.
