I haven't pliéd behind a ballet barre since college, but I think about Capezio slippers almost every day. Today's biggest shoe trends all channel the whimsy of twirling to Tchaikovsky, from high-vamp flats to dainty Mary Janes. But the most stage-worthy of them all is the ballet sneaker trend, according to my favorite It girls.
This time last year, the ballet sneaker trend—featuring rounded toe boxes and almost-invisible soles—declared itself the Misty Copeland of must-have shoes. Even during a season where chunky dad-core trainers reigned supreme, they made a spellbinding debut on Dua Lipa, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber's shoe racks. To no surprise, the sneakerinas assemblé-d into my closet faster than you could say Swan Lake.
