We love spotting trends at Your Next Shoes. Chunky heels, block heels, thick heels—whatever you like to call them—are the latest style all the stars wear. We love them because they’re easier to walk in (thank God). Take a look below at the latest designs the celebs have chosen.

She paired this dress with black Bionda Castana “Christa” platform sandals. These shoes, designed in black crepe, feature cute peep-toes, ankle straps with giant buckles, and those all-important block heels.
2. Emilia Clarke Radiates in a Strapless Mini Dress With Baroque Heels
Emilia Isobel Euphemia Rose Clarke attended the same event hosted by ELLE and was dressed entirely in pieces from Calvin Klein’s Spring 2013 collection. Her strapless mini dress featured a sheer knee-length overlay and was accessorized with a simple black belt.

She has a writing foot tattoo saying “An t-Ádh” on the top of her left foot facing inwards towards her. It is Irish (Gaeilge) for luck. Laura was born on May 4, 1985, in Bray, Ireland.
