Zoë Kravitz Just Wore the Glossy Shoe Trend I Keep Seeing on Put-Together Fashion People

Keeping her cool-girl notoriety firmly intact, Zoë Kravitz stepped out in California yesterday styling an elegant yet seemingly effortless combination that played into her understated aesthetic. Reaching for L.A. favourites, Kravitz plucked a sky blue strapless top and black draping midi skirt to form the foundation for her outfit. Elevating her look for the occasion, the actor styled her look with a pair of patent leather, burgundy slingbacks from French fashion house, Saint Laurent.

Bringing a polished sheen to her spring-ready outfit, Kravitz’s heel choice worked to add height and elegance to her look. Spotted on so many of the style set as of late, Saint Laurent’s Blake Slingback Pumps have risen up to reach dizzying cult-status heights this season. With a deep burgundy shade and sharp pointed-toe finish, Kravitz’s elegant shoe taps into several major footwear trends—however, the classic slingback style and fuss-free design works to ensure its timeless appeal.

Styling well with semi-sheer tights, fashion people have been gravitating towards these heels to enhance their evening outfits. Whilst the growing appeal of the flat-shoe trend is hard to ignore, true footwear aficionados remain loyal to sky-high heels for their outfit-polishing attributes.

With a glossy finish and naturally put-together effect, I’ll keep coming back to patent heel shoes when I’m in need of a smart shoe. Saint Laurent’s have, of course, stolen fashion hearts, but other brands have also begun experimenting with the patent shoe trend of late.
