From Prada to Gucci: The Designer Footwear Fashionistas Are Donning for Summer 2026

      As fashion editors, our role requires us to be meticulous—observing what individuals are donning and identifying the emerging trends of the season. Since celebrities and their stylists tend to showcase the most sought-after pieces ahead of the rest, I took a closer look at the standout designer footwear that has begun to surface in their summer wardrobes. It’s no surprise that popular summer styles like kitten-heel sandals and ballet flats are prevalent. Kylie Jenner has been spotted wearing styles from designers such as Amina Muaddi, Maison Margiela, and Manolo Blahnik. Hailey Bieber continues to favor her Toteme Leather Heeled Flip Flops, while Kendall Jenner is expanding her impressive collection of The Row shoes. Additionally, Alexa Chung has been seen in Sandy Liang mules, Elsa Hosk in Christopher Esber wedges, and Tessa Thompson showcasing Chloé's glass-slipper, Polly Pocket-inspired heels. Below, discover the designer shoes that celebrities are sporting this summer.
