The Rise of Bubblegum Pink Heels: From Runway Trend to Celebrity Staple
The English actress completed her look with a pair of bubblegum-pink Salvatore Ferragamo “Susie” pumps — a choice that feels both playful and ahead of its time. Pink footwear, particularly in glossy, candy-colored finishes, has experienced a significant resurgence in recent years.
Fashion houses from Valentino to Versace have sent shades of pink — from soft blush to electric fuchsia — down the runway, solidifying the hue as a high-fashion staple. The rise of Barbiecore further cemented bubblegum pink as a power color, celebrating bold femininity and joyful excess. Beyond the trend, these heels also serve as the perfect statement piece, adding an unexpected pop of color to an otherwise neutral travel look.

And while they’re daring, they’re also surprisingly versatile: they contrast beautifully against black or navy, harmonize with pastels like mint and lilac, or make a striking monochrome moment when paired with other pink tones. No wonder stars from Zendaya to Dua Lipa have embraced pink heels — proving that what was once considered playful is now synonymous with modern glamour.
