Florence Pugh Just Wore the Shoe Trend That's Coming for Your Favorite Flats
Sorry to all you flats lovers who experienced pure joy in 2023 when styles of the ballet and Mary Jane variety were all anyone wanted to wear. Heels are slowly but surely making a comeback, and now that one particular '90s style has been spotted on Florence Pugh, I have no doubt that its arrival on the 2024 charts will be a splashy one.
On the day after the Golden Globes—where Pugh wore a custom red Valentino gown and Jean Schlumberger by Tiffany & Co. jewelry—the Dune actress was spotted in West Hollywood after a shopping trip at Fred Segal. For the bit of retail therapy, Pugh wore all black, including a bomber jacket, straight-leg jeans, cat-eye sunglasses, and a chic pair of point-toe stiletto boots à la the ones that so many off-duty models and actresses wore nonstop in the '90s. But she's not the only one who's been donning the growing boot trend. From Hailey Bieber to Kendall Jenner, A-listers aren't shying away from tall, skinny-heeled boots for the year ahead.
While the winter weather keeps your flats away in storage, snag a pair of stiletto boots below to replace them (for now), and while you're at it, check out Pugh's shopping-day 'fit.
