The model and mother has recently shown a preference for footwear featuring strappy silhouettes.
Chrissy Teigen visited Flamingo Estate’s Mother Nature’s Gift Gallery in Los Angeles on Sunday, wearing yellow Bottega Veneta sandals.
The model stopped by the Mother’s Day pop-up shop with her husband and singer, John Legend. Teigen partnered with Flamingo Estate to donate 100% of the proceeds from the Cravings’ blanket to Elizabeth House, a charity focused on empowering pregnant and parenting women in need.
Teigen has favored strappy footwear silhouettes during her most recent outings. Last week, she opted for Cult Gaia platform sandals for the 2024 Accessories Council Excellence (ACE) Awards. Earlier this month, she was spotted in New York City wearing velvet Gianvito Rossi heels. The day before, Teigen and Legend starred on “The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon” in a pair of Area lace-up sandals.
For the event, the model chose Bottega Veneta’s The Line sandals. Crafted from yellow leather, these heeled sandals boast a distinctive design with crisscrossing straps situated at the core of the silhouette, linking the toe strap to the one encircling the ankle. The square-toe footwear enhances stature through a stiletto heel, measuring approximately 3 inches in height.
Recently, celebrities including Demi Moore, Ashley Graham, and Venus Williams have shown a preference for strappy footwear, with Willliams notably choosing Le Silla strappy sandals for the “Challengers” premiere last month.
Designers have updated sandal styles with strappy designs, offering a unique twist on traditional silhouettes. This trend initially gained popularity in the 1990s through the collections of leading fashion houses such as Versace and Calvin Klein, which introduced playful designs to the runway. While each silhouette is distinct, the common features include a narrow footbed and a stiletto heel. Strappy sandals have maintained a steady presence in the retail market and saw a resurgence in popularity following their incorporation into Yves Saint Laurent’s Spring 2019 collections.
