Mary Janes in their Retro Moment

We’ve seen a lot of wild-looking shoes during the Fall 2025 Marc Jacobs show, and while most of them are a bit far from being wearable, this Mary Jane pair that model/influencer Alina Timo wore is such an eye-catcher. It’s a subtle step away from the prim little girl Mary Janes of the past, as apparent from its chunky, sculptural heels. This year’s style reports from various fashion authorities also mentioned how Mary Janes are making a thunderous return, but with bolder versions


Alina donned her gorgeous Mary Jane platform heels with a blush mini polka dot dress and sheer net tights that made the look even more retro! It’s super hip and vintage, but still very much wearable. This is when you can actually say that Mary Jane shoes are no longer just a “cute” pair; they’re couture.


Get the look with these pairs:

Glint & Galactica in Metallics

Metallics are quite huge in fashion this year — from accessories to dresses, and of course, shoes. Metallic gold and silver are continuously dominating the fashion scene, and Pom Klementieff’s pair of metallic silver heels is one proof of that. She was an absolute stunner during the Cannes Film Festival, where she gracefully donned a soft lilac Grecian dress paired with her metallic platform heels that truly became the star of the outfit.

The mirror polish and gleam that comes from the metallic finish of the heels is simply a next-level space-age glamour. No wonder they’re such a solid fashion hit this year.

Get the look with these gorgeous metallic heels:

Pointed Pumps as the Default Classic

Pointed pumps will never ever go out of style, that’s an inarguably solid fact. This is where you take a break from all the maximalist heels many celebrities are wearing in fashion shows and gala nights. Pointed pumps can accompany you to business meetings, casual brunch with girl friends, and date nights — chic and elegant in an instant!


For 2025, the pointier, the better. Pointed-toe pumps in neutral hues are a celebrity favorite, and one of our favorite looks is of Sabrina Elba’s. Her classic white Louboutins looked even more luxurious with a voluminous dye dress during a panel event.

Fully Dressed in Naked Heels

Thinking of a pair of heels that’s both minimalist and seductive? Hailey Bieber donned just that with her pair of clear PVC heels from Gianvito Rossi. This “barely there” pair, which is also dubbed as the “Cinderella heels,” is a trend that’s remarkably noticeable despite being “Invisible”. 


Hailey’s naked heels made her ice-blue bodycon stand out even more, amplifying the sultry simplicity of the entire look. It gives the legs an elongating effect that gives pretty much any outfit a floaty, ethereal edge.
