Hi, world! Remember
gladiator sandals? Heh, well, they’re back. In case you forgot, between 2005
and 2008 these strappy shoes we ALL the rage. Whether they were low-top,
high-top, studded, tasseled, bedazzled or anything in between, everyone wanted
their hands (er, feet?) on a pair. Eventually, they made their way out of the
fashion world, and we haven’t looked back until now. We can’t stop spotting
celebrities wearing the strappy, Roman-inspired shoes as of late (see: Selena
Gomez, Rihanna, and Rita Ora), and we need to discuss. I mean, we have to admit
we’re not too surprised at their comeback considering they were all over the
Spring/Summer 2013 runways everyone from Alexander Wang to Proenza Schouler
decked out their models in knee-high gladiator shoes. The only difference is
that this time around we’re supposed to refer to them as “cutaway boots.” Got
it? Got it.
On Wednesday, Selena
stepped out in a KILLER set of black Brian Atwood peep toe boots paired with a
leather-trimmed Burberry trench coat. She kept her ensemble super simple with
her statement-making shoes, which we love. Last week, Rihanna showed off her
strappy white Alexander Wang boots with a black frock and backward Boy London
hat, and, back in February, Rita was spotted at London Fashion Week wearing an
ornate gold-embellished cape paired with a satin patchwork asymmetrical dress
and you guessed it Jimmy Choo gladiator heels. So, what do y’all think are you
going to partake in the gladiator shoe resurgence? Let us know in the comments
below!
