Photo: YoungJun Koo/I’M KOO
Now that you’ve seen the kookiest street-style bags, it’s time to check out all of the killer footwear of the month. Ridiculous, expensive sneakers like Dior couture’s embellished slip-ons or Chanel’s tweed and gold lace-ups were all the rage this time around. When the stars weren’t in sensible kicks, they chose some of the most surreal, impractical heels possible, like Tina Leung’s tiger tail Charlotte Olympia pumps or Eva Chen’s vertiginous Proenza Schouler sandals. And then there was the always wacky Anna Dello Russo, who went from wearing the most bonkers Manish Arora sneakers to showing off Rochas’s latest sparkly slingbacks, fresh-from-the-runway. Because if you’re a woman wearing a sequined ham bag, you can’t wear just any plain pump. Click ahead to see the best, worst, and weirdest shoes of the month.
