Let’s face it: Sofia Richie has all the power these days. Ever since her South of France wedding to music producer Elliot Grainge a few weeks ago, the internet hasn’t stopped talking about her, her makeup routine, and most often, her style. Practically anything she wore to her wedding or afterwards has subsequently gone viral and sold out. So, when she wore an outdated sandal trend not once, but two times during her honeymoon, I got the feeling that, with the level of clout she has right now, they might go from out to in. And as it happens, I was right.
The summer footwear style in question are gladiator sandals, which peaked in the mid 2010s only to live in fashion purgatory ever since. It wasn’t until Richie wore two pairs—one from The Row with a poplin Prada shirt-dress and another from Gianvito Rossi with a sparkling, gold Rodarte dress—that hope for the sandals really set in. Ahead, shop all of the chicest gladiator sandals on the market this season. Oh, and don’t forget to thank the newlywed when you snag a pair for yourself.
