Whenever I peek into the world of celebrity fashion, I’m always fascinated by Kaia Gerber’s choice of classic flat shoes. Her penchant for classy ballet flats and sophisticated Mary Janes always whet my desire to create classy yet comfortable outfits. But today, there was a delightful twist: the model-turned-actress was spotted wearing heels, specifically ballet pumps, which was an unexpected and interesting choice.
On Wednesday, Gerber was spotted with boyfriend Austin Butler outside the Hayes Theater in New York City. She wore minimalist pull-on navy trousers, a navy graphic t-shirt, and heeled ballet pumps, signaling a shift away from the dominance of ballet flats. Though an unexpected outfit for scorching heat, her suede shoes were a testament to Gerber’s smart shopping mindset, which focuses on wardrobe pieces that can seamlessly transition from season to season.
