Shop These Celeb-Approved Day-Glo Sandals

Whether or not your calendar is slowly filling up with long-awaited plans, there’s an undeniable urge to wear clothes, accessories, and shoes that brighten our days. Something as simple as a pair of colorful sandals can instantly evoke joyful emotions. Just take a look at the latest crop of celebrity street style photos and you will see the power of a vibrant hue.

For an extremely chic coffee run, Elsa Hosk strutted down the sidewalk in a pair of pink and purple Isabel Marant sandals. And on Instagram, Gabrielle Union demonstrated the power of a statement mule by elevating a black short set with sweet yellow Salvatore Ferragamo heels. The fashion house predicted we’d all need a splash of color last September when it paired the sunny shoes with an all-white outfit in the Spring 2021 collection. So many other designers are on board with the pop-of-color movement, from Bottega Veneta (a favorite for stars like Hailey Bieber and Taraji P. Henson) to Jimmy Choo to Tod’s. There’s a rainbow of options to choose from, but we’ve narrowed it down to these celebrity-approved styles, plus a few of our favorite colorful sandals below.
