I’ve spent the entire week watching people unbox these UGG flats on TikTok—they’re the next big trend.

      After spending enough time in the fashion industry, you begin to notice the signs of trends or items that are likely to stir up some debate. So, when the UGG Zora ballet flats started trending on TikTok earlier this month, I experienced that familiar spark of excitement—the kind that often points to a shoe destined to become a new must-have. As expected, opinions have been sharply divided: people are either all for the UGG ballet flats or completely against them.

      Allison Ho, a fashion figure based in New York City, is seen wearing the UGG Zora ballet flat in dusted chocolate (£130). But what is it about these shoes that has captivated fashion enthusiasts everywhere? They aren’t quite ballet flats nor simply shearling boots; the UGG Zora ballet flat is a blend of both. Offered in black leather, classic taupe, and trendy chocolate brown, these shoes feature a cozy shearling lining akin to a fluffy trim, lending them a slipper-like feel. With Google searches skyrocketing by over 600% this week, you might also be curious about the origins of this polarizing shoe. Debuting at the spring/summer 2026 show of London-based designer Talia Byre—known for her distinctive tailoring and sleek party dresses—the UGG silhouette was presented in a playful manner that has become truly appealing to the fashion crowd this winter.

(Image credit: Launchmetrics) It’s well-known that UGG boots have been regaining popularity in recent years. No longer burdened by the same (slightly outdated) associations they had in the late 2000s—think Paris Hilton in bright pink velour tracksuits—UGGs have evolved into a favorite among fashion insiders for winter attire. The Zora ballet flat seems to be the next iteration in the brand's evolution.

      As for the timeless question of how to style them—I'm here to assist. There are actually numerous outfit options that pair well with the Zora ballet flats. Whether you choose to wear them with jeans for a relaxed, effortless look or team them with silk trousers for a laid-back, luxurious style, these ballet flats bring a modern, fashionable touch to any winter capsule wardrobe.
