Suddenly Celebrities Can’t Stop Wearing the Black Court Shoes Trend

With a flurry of fashion week and red carpet events taking place this week, I was aptly prepared to see my fair share of “ugly” shoes. Fur-adorned clogs, troops of tabis and ballet trainers were all a given—what I didn’t expect to see out en mass was a classic black court shoe. Yet, every way I turned, the style set affirmed their adoration for the most low-key of shoes.

A favourite within styles circles, black court shoes were a mainstay both on and off the red carpet this week. Styled with a draping pink blouse and flowy knee-length Burberry skirt, model Iris Law used her rounded-toe pair to sharpen her Fashion Week style, without detracting from her co-ordinated look.

An obvious choice when packing for Fashion Week or an evening event, as these modest shoes really do go with everything.

Whilst Iris Law wore her pair to take her seat at Burberry’s London Fashion Week front row, actor Chloë Sevigny styled hers with an entirely leather look on the Monsters red carpet in L.A. Attesting to the shoes versatility, Sevigny’s jacket/skirt hybrid looked perfectly placed worn with her square-toe court shoes.

Wearing her pair to a red carpet event in London over the week, model and presenter Alexa Chung styled a pair of pointed toe black court shoes with a white shift dress. Elongating and elevating her look, Chung’s black court shoes added a sophisticated edge to her look in an effortless way.

Officially a September non-negotiable, it looks like the black court shoe trend is a new celebrity staple. If you’re also keen to treat your wardrobe to a goes-with-everything shoe, read on to discover our edit of the best black court shoes to shop right now.
