Celebrities Can’t Stop Wearing The Expensive-Looking Satin Shoe Trend

For the past few months, the editorial team at Who What Wear has been talking a lot about suede shoes. However, as winter approaches in just a few weeks, we’ve been discussing another cold-weather shoe trend that is glimmering on the horizon, poised to rival the allure of suede: satin shoes.

Currently, it feels as though everyone is gravitating towards satin footwear, and it’s impossible to overlook the luxurious aura these styles exude. Most notably, at Gotham’s 34th Annual Film Awards, the ever-elegant Nicole Kidman and the iconic Pamela Anderson showcased stunning satin shoes. Kidman wore a black strapless floral gown paired with chic black satin pumps, while Anderson turned heads in a striking ivory strapless gown complemented by matching pointed-toe satin heels.

On a more casual front, entrepreneur and model Rosie Huntington-Whiteley leveraged her platform by showcasing her ROSIE HW x WARDROBE.NYC line, styled in black satin slingbacks on Instagram. Elsa Hosk also joined the satin shoe movement, sporting the luxurious Saint Laurent Nour Slippers in satin, beautifully styled with an oversize blazer, a silk top, and low-rise trousers.

Similar to suede shoes, satin footwear—whether in sleek flats or soaring heels—infuses any outfit with an air of richness and sophistication. The versatile nature of these shoes makes them incredibly wearable, especially in luxe hues such as deep burgundy, rich chocolate brown, and soft ivory.
