I believed this shoe trend was outdated, but these stylish spring outfits changed my mind.
Imagine this: it's 2011, you're gearing up for a night out, and Rihanna's "We Found Love" is playing. You're dressed in a rarah skirt and a neon pink tank top, topped off with white pointed-toe heels. Life feels great. Fast-forward to today, and the white pointed-toe stiletto heel has become somewhat contentious. While it was trendy in the early 2010s, by 2020 it had largely fallen out of favor, with some considering it a bit outdated. Many have shifted to wearing more slender sandals or platform heels for added comfort. Moreover, white shoes are often viewed as impractical; unlike darker colors such as black, brown, or deep burgundy, white easily shows scuffs and marks.
Nonetheless, one key takeaway from the world of fashion is that trends tend to resurface. We witnessed this resurgence when 2016 became a trending topic on social media earlier this year, and the Valentino Garavani Rockstud shoes are also making a comeback this spring. Thus, when I noticed both Zendaya and Dua Lipa sporting this style of white heel this week, I sensed that a revival was underway.
Zendaya paired her white heels with a chic grey tailored two-piece ensemble featuring long Bermuda shorts, an oversized blazer, and a white shirt with fluted sleeves—an effortlessly polished look, with her striking white heels making a statement. She's been seen promoting her latest film, "The Drama," alongside Rob Pattinson.
In a similar vein, Dua Lipa, known for her quintessential London cool-girl aesthetic, was also spotted in white pointed-toe stiletto heels this week. While Zendaya opted for tailored styles, Lipa matched hers with a black wool coat over what looked like a white dress underneath. I couldn't help but notice a glimpse of red soles, hinting that they must be Christian Louboutin.
As spring approaches and the weather warms, we begin to seek out shoes perfect for brighter days. The white pointed-toe heel fits the bill: whether styled with tailoring, a dress, a skirt, or even jeans, this once-controversial shoe has returned to the forefront. The real question is, will you embrace it?
