Congratulations, love! We hear you’re tying the knot, so while you’ve been busy planning, we’ve gone to the ends of the earth to handpick the dreamiest bridal shoes for you.
At Charli XCX’s 2024 Hackney ceremony with George Daniel, her Jimmy Choo slingback pumps proved how a single pair can marry timeless elegance with today’s sparkle. And at Lauren Sánchez and Jeff Bezos’s lavish Venetian wedding, Lauren found her perfect match in a pair of intricate Balenciaga & Jimmy Choo heels.
Celebrities like Zendaya, Dua Lipa, and Anya Taylor-Joy have been spotted in embellished satin pumps and crystal-drenched sandals, proving that the bridal shoe is no longer just for the aisle, but for the afterparty too. (for all the non-bride icons!)
