My friends often inquire about which shoe color pairs best with pale yellow dresses—it's certainly this one.

      The trend of butter yellow has become a significant phenomenon this season, captivating fashion enthusiasts and fitting into a variety of silhouettes. It casts a gentle pastel hue over everything, and this sweet color has gained popularity in a way that few others have. However, even though it’s currently ubiquitous, I’ve found it to be a challenging shade to style, a sentiment echoed by my friends who often seek my advice on how to pair their new yellow items. Personally, I feel that this shade looks best when paired with rich browns or soft khakis. While black is my go-to option, it always seemed a bit too stark next to the soft creaminess of yellow. That view shifted for me when I saw Zoë Kravitz's recent appearance.

      During a series of press events in London, Kravitz donned a butter-yellow Saint Laurent dress complemented by glossy black leather ballet flats. She introduced a striking visual contrast in her outfit, further embracing the unexpected combination with Saint Laurent's Mini Le 5 à 7 Bag (£1350) and SL 567 Sunglasses (£340), both in a matching dark shade.

      Her dark shoes grounded the playful dress, bringing depth and dimension that harmonized beautifully with her minimalist yet slightly edgy style. This serves as evidence that black footwear can be incredibly versatile, even when matched with the softest hues in your wardrobe. Below are some butter-yellow dresses and black ballet flats for you to try out this look for yourself.
