On her feet, Swanepoel gave her outfit a trending touch in puffy sandals. The white double-strap pair featured padded uppers with textured outsoles and a comfortable footbed; Gia Couture x Pernille offers a similar silhouette for $450 at Farfetch.
Typically considered “ugly” in the world of fashion, the new appreciation for comfortable sandal styles comes with an increased desire for ease of wear and stability in the fashion world amidst the current environment — and for 2021, too, it appears the shoes are here to stay. Brands like Teva and Gucci are at the forefront of the trend while celebs including Britney Spears, Tracee Ellis Ross and Katie Holmes can oftentimes be spotted in the silhouettes.
