Bella Hadid has mastered one of the most controversial shoe styles currently in fashion, which involves tights with open-toe heels. The model wore a pair of flared jeans and heels with a squared-off toe while out and about in Paris. This style epitomizes the decade of the 2000s and can be seen in countless rom-com, music videos, and even on more relaxed red carpets.
Hadid paired the heels and jeans with a pastel pink coat, a little vest, and a skirt for a three-piece suit. For spring/summer 2023, one of the most divisive fashion trends was skirts worn over pants. This was right up there with square-toed heels and flared jeans. It’s possible that’s what sparked the idea for the supermodel’s outfit.
Screen sirens of the 2000s, such as Kiera Knightley and Cameron Diaz, managed to pull off the historically difficult combination of a formal shoe with something as casual as jeans. And of course, Janet Jackson is responsible for popularising this style.
Hadid’s outfit was so refined and ladylike that it was a perfect match for the heels that were cleverly showing over her flared. Her own spin on the style was instantly recognizable.
