Alexa Chung Just Wore the “Cheap” Shoe Trend That Works With Black Dresses

In my opinion, Alexa Chung is at her chicest in Paris. So this week, as the style icon descended on the City of Light for a flurry of fashion week appearances, my mood board was refreshed with a healthy dose of styling inspiration. Stepping out for an evening in Paris to celebrate Pandora’s collaboration with stylist Harry Lambert, Alexa reached for a timeless wardrobe staple, reminding us exactly why she’ll always be the queen of elevated everyday dressing.

Opting for a modern take on the little black dress, Chung chose an elegant design featuring an on-trend halterneck, an asymmetric hem and softly pleated detailing. Then to the shoes, whilst black heels would have been the obvious choice, Alexa sidestepped the predictable in favour of a pair of white heels.

Adding a crisp contrast to her all-black outfit, the white shoes kept it from feeling too heavy for a summer evening event, without relying on bold colours or statement prints.

Perhaps it’s because white shoes can scuff so easily, or because they often feel quite stark, but they’ve never been a style I’ve instinctively gravitated towards. Still, Alexa’s latest look has completely changed my mind.
