Michelle Williams Makes A Case For Fashion’s New Favourite Flats

Ballet pumps have become a mainstay in the wardrobes of celebrities, giving heels (and their feet) the break they deserve. And Michelle Williams, too, has now jumped the bandwagon of anti-heel influencers.

Spotted in New York City, The Fabelmans star stepped out wearing The Row’s Ava flats – a true A-Lister favourite sported by the likes of Zoë Kravitz and Jennifer lawrence – paired with straight-leg denim, a boxy blazer Prince of Wales check blazer and a striped shirt – an easy sell for any Francophile.

And the actress is right on trend, making an achingly cool case for the minimalist soles, which are currently dominating the shop floors (and runways. Hello, Prada). On top of everyone’s wish list? The aforementioned Ava flats by The Row, as well as the new Ozzy style. Elsewhere at Miu Miu, satin iterations make fashion hearts beat faster, as do Alaïa’s rhinestone-embellished Mary Janes, which were sparkling on the frow during fashion month.

The good news? The high street, too, delivers delectable styles to add to your shopping basket now. Look to Massimo Dutti and Ganni for inspiration. If, however, you like going out on a limb, do it like the original it-girl Chloë Sevigny and opt for a pair of split-toe Tabi flats by Maison Margiela.
