"Gucci flip-flops" have come a long way since becoming a certified Gold hip-hop song in 2018. Now, the new-and-improved thong sandals traded Billboard Hot 100 Charts for fashion's premier "Hottest Products" list: the Lyst Index.
The fashion search engine just returned with another quarterly ranking of the buzziest brands and products. Thanks to the Matthieu Blazy mania, Chanel reclaimed its crown as the industry's most talked-about heritage house, but Gucci wasn't too far behind. The Vittoria Thongs are The Lyst Index's fourth-hottest find for Q2 2026. Thanks to summer's heeled flip-flops trend, the Demna-designed heels aren't the only open-toe shoes on the list—Chloé's Jelly Mules and Massimo Dutti's Toe Sandals also made the cut in fifth and sixth place, respectively—but they're certainly one of the most celebrity-beloved.
