Forget Ballet Flats—Chic Minimalists Always Pair LBDs With the Heeled Flip-Flops Trend

Hailey Bieber styled her little black dress with the heeled flip-flops trend.

Floral prints aren't the first thing to bloom in Hailey Bieber's closet each spring—she's too much of a minimalist for that. Little black dresses are her seasonal fixture, with perennial styling to match. She just inserts the year's respective It-shoe—like slingbacks in 2024 or ultra-pointy pumps in 2025—and voila, the spring LBD returns. Bieber's Spring 2026 shoe trend of choice? Heeled flip-flops, her favorite style for four seasons straight.

A Monday night reservation at Beverly Hills's Funke called for "dinner-appropriate attire," of which Bieber's sleeveless, knee-length LBD, oval sunglasses, and a croc-embossed clutch fit the bill. The Italian restaurant's dress code asked that guests "kindly refrain" from wearing thong sandals—but that couldn't keep Bieber away from her favorite pair. If anyone deserves a "get out of flip-flop jail free" card, it's her and her elevated take on the trend.
