t’s the era of the strappy little sandal; ask any It girl. For several seasons now, thong sandals, flip-flops, stringy stilettos, kitten heels, and wedges have dominated the cool-girl footwear space. The brands, styles, and colors are endless, but there is one specific sandal that has held its place at the top of the celebrity-approved shoe pyramid this year, and it’s a sexy one. Manolo Blahnik’s Paterno sandal has graced the pedicured feet of stylish girls from Kylie Jenner to Lily Collins to Zoey Deutch.
Made in Italy, the black nappa-leather sandal features a sleek thong silhouette and a subtly curved-in kitten heel. The pair retails for $925, and sizes are selling out quickly.
