A strange new fashion trend has reached the red carpet, and Margaret Qualley just gave it one of its biggest moments yet.
The American actress arrived at the London premiere of “The Dog Stars” wearing Chanel’s viral barefoot sandals, a design that leaves most of the foot exposed and offers little more than a heel cap and straps.
From a distance, Qualley almost looked barefoot.
That was exactly the point.
The shoes first caught attention when Chanel unveiled them as part of its Resort 2027 collection, and Qualley’s red-carpet appearance has now pushed the unusual design into a much bigger conversation.
Fans have reacted with everything from fascination to complete confusion, especially over the idea of wearing shoes with soles that barely exist.
But fashion has never required practicality.
For now, the stranger the shoe looks, the more attention it seems to get.
