Hailey Bieber has returned to the West Coast after a mammoth stint away from home, packing away her enviable coat collection and sharp suiting that led her Aspen and New York wardrobes. For this Los Angeles homecoming and her latest Rhode pop-up, Bieber relied on some of her sartorial calling cards—adding a divisive vintage shoe trend.
Bieber wore a fresh off the runway dress from the Ferragamo spring 2025 collection: an espresso brown leather mini-dress with sculptural details and a curved skirt, which she paired with a matching brown, croc leather pouch. On her feet, she wore strappy, laced sandals with an expansive peep-toe. The ’50s-era summer shoe is so back.
The beauty founder stepped out party-ready at the launch of her latest product, the limited edition Sugar Cookie Peptide Lip Treatment. She posed with fans and friends at the pop-up, popping a sheer, chocolate brown tighted leg to show off the toe-exposing pumps. It was a chic way to wear the nostalgic—and much maligned—shoe silhouette.
Following the event, Bieber was joined by her husband Justin—in his usual style of fits, comprising of baggy jeans, an even roomier leather jacket, and cap—and the pair were spotted heading for dinner at Funke with friends in Beverly Hills. Hailey added a faux fur coat.
More ladylike shoe trends continue to emerge. Recent BAFTA winner Mikey Madison is a fan of Ferragamo’s patent t-bar sandal. The T-bar heel harks back to the ’40s and ’50s, a polite shoe silhouette worn often by Audrey Hepburn and repped also by everyone from Zoe Saldaña to Ariana Grande, in Jimmy Choo and Khaite respectively.
The peep-toe’s comeback has been quiet yet assured, with some more modern updates: by way of Tory Burch’s sculpted peep-toe pumps with a crescent heel, Magda Butrym’s floral detail heels with a pearl just kissing the exposed toe, textured Alaïa slip-ons, and Dries Van Noten’s treble toe enveloping, piggie-baring mules. And with it still not being warm enough yet for bare legs and feet, a peep-toe paired with a sheer tight offers another teasing, sensual feeling layer a la Hailey Bieber.
