From Prada to Gucci: The Designer Footwear Trending Among Fashion Enthusiasts for Summer 2026
As fashion editors, we need to pay attention to detail—observing what people are wearing and identifying trends that signify a new season. Celebrities and their stylists frequently wear the most sought-after pieces early on, so I decided to examine the standout designer shoes they’ve been sporting this summer. It's no surprise that I came across a variety of popular summer styles, including kitten-heel sandals and ballet flats. Kylie Jenner has been spotted wearing options from Amina Muaddi, Maison Margiela, and Manolo Blahnik. Hailey Bieber stays faithful to her Toteme Leather Heeled Flip Flops, while Kendall Jenner continues to grow her impressive collection of The Row footwear. Additionally, there are Alexa Chung's Sandy Liang mules, Elsa Hosk's Christopher Esber wedges, and Tessa Thompson's Chloé glass-slipper, Polly Pocket-inspired heels.
