Who even said the ballet flat trend was fading away? Like, seriously, where did that rumor even come from? When you’re off to a big event, like the Cannes Film Festival, everyone assumes heels are the go-to footwear. But hey, rules are made to be broken, right? Flats have totally taken over the fashion scene as a must-have versatile piece for everyone’s shoe collection. And Margaret Qualley just proved that flats are perfect for any and all occasions.
So, at the premiere of Honey Don’t!, Margaret strutted down the red carpet in some flat Chanel shoes, rocking a cream and black cap-toe style. She paired it with a stunning long gown, also from Chanel, featuring a high slit and an off-the-shoulder neckline that gave off major ethereal vibes. The dress had a small train that trailed behind her gracefully, along with a chic camellia flower and a cute bow detail at the neckline.
Her hair was styled in a romantic bun, with a couple of loose strands framing her face. While she kept her accessories minimal, her elegant updo allowed her delicate two-tone drop earrings to shine. And can we talk about how diamonds have been Margaret’s besties lately on the red carpet? At the Academy Awards earlier this year, she slayed in a black backless gown adorned with some glamorous bling. From the Motif Russe necklace to the Étoile Filante bracelet, Impression Florale earrings, and Pluie de Comètes and Ruban rings, all in 18-karat white gold and shimmering with precious diamonds, she was truly a vision of luxury and style.
Not really sure why this matters, but Margaret Qualley’s choice to rock flats at major events is definitely making a statement. And maybe it’s just me, but I feel like she’s onto something here. Who needs heels when you can look this fabulous in flats? Let’s keep an eye on this rising trend and see where it takes us next. After all, fashion is all about breaking the rules and making a statement, right? So, here’s to more flat-out fabulous looks on the red carpet!
