We’ve officially hit fall, so let’s see what shoe styles the celebrity world has been rocking this week and what you can learn from them.
1. Step Up in Style: Platform Sneakers and Bold Colors for Fall
Cara Delevingne was spotted wearing a couple of DKNY beauties while shooting the brand’s latest campaign in New York. Platform sneakers will be huge next season, so get ahead of everyone and start wearing them now.

The monochrome bandana print is excellent for fall, and the comfort of a sneaker means there is no more pain in the shoe world. Cara also sported some vibrant orange neoprene sandals.

2. Thigh-High Boots: The Fall Essential Celebs Are Loving
Thigh-high boots are having a moment this fall. They go with everything – from a mini skirt to jeans.
Luckily, Stuart Weitzman has designed ten exclusive styles of his famous 5050 over-the-knee boot for Gilt. Olivia Palermo was seen at the digital pop-up shop launch wearing the 5050 in olive suede.

3. Shine Bright: How Celebs Are Mixing Metallics in Their Fall Footwear
Khloé Kardashian added an edgy touch to her outfit with a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti for Anja Rubik suede booties. This lace-up, peep-toe style has been trending for some time, but the bold metal ankle straps and stud detailing give these shoes a unique, standout appeal.

Gold and silver definitely can and should be worn together. If a shoe has both, you’re onto a winner.

4. Embrace the PVC Trend with Celebrity-Inspired Pointed-Toe Heels
The PVC trend isn’t going anywhere soon. Karolina Kurkova gave us a masterclass on how to be plastic fantastic in Salvatore Ferragamo.

7. Small Details, Big Impact: Statement Pumps and Unique Features
It’s the small things that matter. The heart tab on the back of Anna Kendrick’s Charlotte Olympia pumps was the most talked about part of her outfit.

Never mind the black satin, island platform, or red stiletto. If you want to get everyone talking, pick a shoe with an unusual feature.

8. The Casual Glam of Embellished Ankle Boots: Chloe’s Susanna Style
The new casual shoe is the embellished ankle boot. Take a leaf from Lily Cole’s book and go for a gold-studded pair in the form of Chloe’s suede “Susanna” style.
