No, High-Vamp Pumps Aren't "Out"—Here's How Fashion Enthusiasts Are Styling Them from Summer to Fall.

      I apologize if you're not quite ready to discuss fall fashion, but it's definitely on my mind. I've been considering the shoe trends that can easily transition from summer to fall. The first style that came to mind was high-vamp pumps. These have a ballet-flat inspired design with a glove-like fit and kitten heels. Far from being "basic," "boring," or "overdone," these shoes are noteworthy, and one celebrity who seems to agree is Ella Rubin. The rising actress, who stars in Amazon Prime Video's Sterling Point releasing tomorrow, was seen in NYC outside NBC Studio wearing high-vamp heels. Her choice was the Marcy Pumps by Khaite, an updated version of the popular Marcy mesh and studded flats, featuring smooth, high-shine black leather and a low sculptural block heel. They exude sleek sophistication, and I quickly added them to my cart.

      While many insiders have styled high-vamp heels in various ways this summer, Rubin exhibited an elegant approach for the upcoming transitional phase. Instead of opting for the typical jeans, she chose a high-boat-neck white minidress and accessorized with a black long-strap shoulder bag and sporty sunglasses. The dark accessories beautifully grounded the short dress and added edgy contrast, which felt very 2026. If Rubin's look inspires you, keep reading for my selection of the best minidresses and high-vamp pumps that will easily transition from summer to fall.
