Every Cool Person at Fashion Month Is Wearing These Cult Prada Shoes

In the glitzy whirlwind of Milan Fashion Week, where the world's most stylish tastemakers gather to witness jaw-dropping runway moments, there's one secret It buy that’s been circulating through the fashion industry’s most elite. There have been hushed conversations and admiring glances revolving around anyone who has been seen wearing these cult Prada shoes. They’re a fresh reinterpretation of the brand's iconic archival pumps.

Like all things Prada, these shoes are made in Italy and feature a very high-quality form of leather adorned with an architectural bow or flower that transforms these simple accessories into wearable art. They were most commonly seen styled with a maxi embroidered skirt just like what we saw on the runway, but the occasional micro mini also made for a great match. Allow me to delve into the world of these sculptural shoes that we've now seen on the runway, the street style stars, and of course, our Instagram feeds.

These sculptural Prada shoes debuted at the A/W 23 runway show last February. Coming in both a flat and a kitten heel, it seemed like the options would be endless for styling it. 

Now at first glance when watching these shoes walk down the runway, we couldn't see the details, but after admiring the close-up imagery, we were absolutely obsessed. The floral details go back to the embroidery on the skirt and make these shoes feel very special.

Now that autumn 2023 is absolutely here, fashion insiders have been able to get their hands on this amazing pair of shoes. Styling the shoes with an embroidered skirt as seen on the runway is definitely the way to go.

Fashion people have truly been in their ballet-flat era for the majority of the year now, and Prada has made it clear that flat pumps are next. Who doesn't love comfort-first footwear that also makes a statement?

On the internet right now, I have been seeing these shoes predominately in white, grey, pink and sometimes yellow, but the true winner in my eyes is black. Black shoes will always be everyone's first choice, so if you want these in black, buy them now before everyone finds out how good these shoes are.

A peek into the Prada fitting room reveals some of my favorite looks from the runway styled to perfection. Elly McGaw styled these Prada pumps in more ways than one, and this was my favorite.

What do fashion people have in common? These shoes. Twinning in the black kitten-heel pumps, Caroline Daur and Camille Rowe attended the Prada show.

Eva Chen has mastered off-duty style, and seeing her wear the pumps with a more casual look that still feels dressed-up helps me envision them in my day-to-day life. I could imagine myself wearing these to a dinner in NYC.
