What started as a public protest against heels has ended up becoming one of the trends of the moment. Going out barefoot is fashionable, and we don't say it, but the celebrities who dare to step on the asphalt without shoes to walk more comfortably (or not).
Julia Roberts was one of the first celebrities to speak out against the use of high heels. In 2016, she appeared barefoot on the red carpet at the Cannes Film Festival to present Money Monster, the film in which she co-starred with George Clooney. The actress caught all eyes with an impressive black Armani design that she wore without shoes as a complaint for what had happened during the screening of Carol, where she had expelled a group of women for not wearing high heels.
Two years later, it was Kristen Stewart who took off her Christian Louboutin shoes on the red carpet as a protest against the strict protocol of the film contest. "Things have to change immediately. It's become very obvious. If a man and I are walking down the red carpet and they stop me and say 'excuse me, miss, but you're not wearing heels and you can't go in' I would tell you." My friend doesn't wear them either. Does he have to? It can work both ways. You can't ask me something you're not going to ask him. I understand there's etiquette, but it should open up and you can go with or without heels." , said the protagonist of Spencer.
Stewart had already dared to go to the premiere of one of his films in sneakers, footwear that has been gaining presence both at premieres and in street style, where style prescribers have shown that you can also dress comfortably and sophisticatedly. with sneakers.
However, it seems that now the fashion is to go out into the street directly barefoot. In the middle of the pandemic, Drew Barrymore was captured by the paparazzi walking through the streets of New York without any type of footwear and dressed in a casual look, with a wide T-shirt and sweatpants.
A few days ago, it was Bianca Censori, Kanye West's wife, who was revolutionizing social networks with her look. The Australian, head of architecture at Yeezy -the singer's brand-, was seen with a striking look with black tights and a short-sleeved T-shirt. The young woman stepped on the asphalt directly barefoot, something that her husband did not do, who did wear leggings with black ballerinas that were difficult to detect in the photos.
The couple has also recently been spotted wearing socks that could be from Yeezy's new line of footwear. With the look of socks, these very thin and elastic shoes adapt to the foot and give the sensation that you are walking barefoot. It is a matter of time to see if this fashion finally convinces the style prescribers, those in charge of creating trends with their looks.
