Margaret Qualley Brings Chanel's Barefoot Sandals to the Red Carpet

Actor Margaret Qualley wore the highly publicized barefoot sandals from Chanel's resort 2027 collection to a major movie premiere in London.

The shoes, which feature a small leather heel cap leaving the feet largely exposed, caused controversy earlier this year when models wore them on the runway during the same collection's presentation in Biarritz, France. The designs have been noted as unusual, given the lack of protection offered to the wearer's feet.

For her appearance on the red carpet, Qualley paired the barefoot sandals with a classic little black dress designed by Matthieu Blazy for Chanel. This pairing highlights Qualley's tendency towards eclecticism and willingness to experiment with fashion choices.

Chanel's designers likely did not create the barefoot sandals for widespread commercial appeal, considering they are not yet available online. Instead, these shoes appear to be exclusive to select VIP clientele.

It is worth noting that some may view Qualley's choice as a novelty, while others might see her wearing something else after the event concluded.
