Jennifer Aniston proved flip-flops can be elegant and stylish while out in Los Angeles on Oct. 2, when she unified a monochrome look with a pair of black braided sandals.
“The Morning Show” star stepped out in a chic black ensemble, which included the aforementioned sandals. The shoes featured a relatively simple design with a flat sole, rounded toe and a thong-style strap.
The classic flip-flop look was elevated by a relatively chunky strap woven in a braid pattern. Aniston’s shoes strongly resembled Gianvito Rossi’s Tropea Braided Leather Flip Flops, which The Luxy Shop carries for $695. The actress also decorated her feet with a dainty toe ring.
A description of the shoe on The Luxy Shop’s website reads in part, “The minimal design of Gianvito Rossi’s ‘Tropea’ flip flops allows the impeccable hand-craftsmanship to really shine through. They’ve been made in Italy from smooth black leather that’s intricately braided at the straps and have supple footbeds that’ll only get softer with wear.”
Gianvito Rossi has also created a heeled version of the braided sandal, offering the style an elegant lift with a stiletto heel that formalizes the look. That iteration is currently 50% off at Farfetch, marked at price of $448.
Aniston is considered one of Hollywood’s longtime style icons, having inspired audiences early on her in her career with the ensembles she wore as Rachel Green on “Friends.” In addition to her acting skills, she continues to impress sartorially both on and off screen with an array of timeless looks she has worn over the years.
In early June, she attended an FYC event for “The Morning Show” wearing a striking red dress with matching strappy heeled sandals featuring a sharply pointed toe. At the Emmys in September, she wore glittering silver heeled sandals from Jimmy Choo with an elaborate strapless gown.
