Whether or not your calendar is slowly filling up with long-awaited plans, there’s an undeniable urge to wear clothes, accessories, and shoes that brighten our days. Something as simple as a pair of colorful sandals can instantly evoke joyful emotions. Just take a look at the latest crop of celebrity street style photos and you will see the power of a vibrant hue.
For an extremely chic coffee run, Elsa Hosk strutted down the sidewalk in a pair of pink and purple Isabel Marant sandals. And on Instagram, Gabrielle Union demonstrated the power of a statement mule by elevating a black short set with sweet yellow Salvatore Ferragamo heels. The fashion house predicted we’d all need a splash of color last September when it paired the sunny shoes with an all-white outfit in the spring 2021 collection. So many other designers are on board with the pop-of-color movement, from Bottega Veneta (a favorite for stars like Hailey Bieber and Taraji P. Henson) to Jimmy Choo and Tod’s. There’s a rainbow of options to choose from, but we’ve narrowed it down to these celebrity-approved styles, plus a few of our favorite colorful sandals below.
The Dandelion Kittens
Gal Gadot showed us the easiest way to make a statement: Reach for a monochromatic outfit. Here, an Oscar de la Renta dress made for a perfect match with her Alexandre Birman sandals.
The Mean Greens
Bieber elevated a pair of cutoff denim shorts with help from a flashy blazer and luxe Bottega Veneta heels.
The Butter Mules
Sunny yellow hues are perfect for summer, especially the uniquely curved-heel mules Union wore with a Valentino embroidered set.
The Purple Flats
Here’s proof that flats can be just as fancy as a pair of heels. Hosk’s Isabel Marant purple sandals sealed the deal on her chic street style look.
The Baby Blues
Henson anchored an off-duty denim look with a hypnotizing (and viral) pair of Bottega Veneta padded sandals.
The Neon Dreams
Turn the color all the way up with a pair of electric lime heels, similar to Normani’s H&M Conscious sandals.
