Elle Fanning carries spring’s most unexpected shoe trends

This season is publicly accepted shoe trend run the magnetic scale mesh apartment to her pumps (or as I elegantly call them, court shoes), which means everyone will be very shocked when a new footwear fad appears on the market. We’re out here wearing it leopard sneakers, patent leather boots and socksAnd Bright green satin sandals on any normal day—it seems like things are not normal at all. And yet, I have a pretty good feeling about the shoe trend I just discovered Elle Fanning wearing something in a photo will surprise some people, not to mention possibly cause an argument or two.

The shoes in question—which the actress wore with dark turtleneck jeans, one pair white button-down shirt went shirtless with a camisole underneath and a Bottega Veneta crossbody bag while shopping around SoHo in New York City—straight off the runway at Miu Miu’s S/S 24 show. You may have owned something similar during your summer camping days, as the style I’m talking about is a rope sandal with a flip-flop toe and straps made entirely of colorful rope. Although Fanning chose a red pair, Miu Miu also offers brown and black sandals.

In addition to the flashy, classic nature of the shoe style, the way these particular sandals position your bare feet close to the sidewalk is controversial, especially in a city like New York. Many people gave up on any adjacent footwear options years ago and will shamelessly call you out if they see you trying to bring them back. Like any rule, however, this one is in danger of being broken, and that’s exactly what Fanning just did. Scroll down to shop her exact sandals before they’re gone.
