Margaret Qualley arrived on the red carpet in an elegant black Chanel dress, but all it took was a glance downward for all the attention to end up on her feet 😭. The actress wore one of the brand’s most curious designs: heels that do away with practically the entire sole and leave the foot directly on the ground.
The design features a small black structure at the heel, with the Chanel logo, and thin straps that tie around the foot. From the front, however, the effect is very different: it looks as though Margaret were walking barefoot and simply had a heel fastened behind her.
The images quickly began circulating, and the opinions came with them. While some appreciated the design’s daring and unconventional nature, others directly questioned whether something without a sole under the foot can still be considered footwear. “Calling it a shoe is already too much”, they joked online.
Fashion has spent years proving that practically anything can become a trend, but Chanel has just opened a new debate: how much can you take away from a shoe before it stops being a shoe? 😂
