Kylie Jenner is no stranger to making daring fashion choices. Whether it’s her often-controversial boots or her recent Schiaparelli pumps shaped like actual feet, the beauty mogul has never been one to play it safe with her footwear. Her latest eyebrow-raising style? Toe ring shoes, which she recently wore during Paris Fashion Week and Paris Couture Week.

On Wednesday, Jenner attended the Jean Paul Gaultier Spring/Summer 2024 couture show in the city of lights. Rather than wearing the brand’s signature trompe l’oeil prints, for which she has an affinity, Jenner went a more ethereal route. She donned a strapless bustier mini dress with a flowing chiffon overlay, reminiscent of Gaultier’s early Madonna-inspired pieces with their structured bras and boudoir vibe.

Jenner kept the rest of her look minimal, letting the shoes take center stage. She wore delicate yet daring see-through lucite platform heels, similar to those her sister Kim Kardashian wore channeling Marilyn Monroe at last year’s Met Gala. However, Jenner’s heels featured a show-stopping detail that made them decidedly more glamorous – a built-in toe ring on each foot, topped with a single pearl. The shoes perfectly displayed her “mannequin nail” pedicure.

The reality star and beauty mogul opted for a blush-toned sheath from the French label, pairing it with PVC platform heels and geometric jewelry. Evoking an edgy Greek goddess, Jenner’s brunette tresses were styled in a messy updo, which she complimented with minimal makeup.

The toe ring shoe trend initially seemed absurd when it first emerged – but leave it to a fashion phenom like Kylie to make such an avant-garde item feel elegant. The understated way she styled the shoes kept the look refined rather than costumey. And by sporting the style twice now, she has given it credibility amongst the fashion set.

Leave it to Kylie to take a rather ridiculous shoe style and make it covetable. The way she effortlessly sells these novel designs that would look absurd on most is a testament to her savvy. She knows exactly how to style the most extreme footwear in a way that not only normalizes it but actually has us wanting to emulate her look. At this point, it’s hard to imagine a pair of shoes Kylie couldn’t convince us to wear.

The beauty boss continues to prove her versatility and influence when it comes to popularizing even the most divisive trends. Toe ring shoes seemed ridiculous – until Kylie Jenner styled them in the chicest way possible, per usual. We can’t wait to see how she styles this polarizing footwear trend next. No doubt her next toe-ringed pair will leave us even more enthralled.
