Katie Holmes’s stunning black dress at the premiere of Othello in New York City on Sunday, March 23, almost distracted us from her funky footwear. The woman who made gold mules fashionable again has now redefined the concept of “nude” shoes: with straps, mini heels, and pointed toes, her sandals are as elegant as they are original. They show more than they cover, and are a trend we truly didn’t see coming.
These black leather sandals, which, like her dress, are from Khaite, are made with a few leather straps—two on the instep forming a T and two others on the ankle, closed with a golden buckle. The most interesting detail is the pointed shape, which features an extra piece of leather that subtly covers the second toe.
The heel is sensible at a thin, but manageable, two inches that elevate and allow the wearer to stand for a long time. Yes, even at a party. In short, these sandals have the most special design but do not lose that practical spirit.
The precise style is the Bella from Khaite—a soon-to-be it-girl shoe, we can feel it. The shape is the total opposite in the extreme to the country sandals that are also going strong this season. We love variety, and so does Katie Holmes.
