Not Black, Not Beige—This is the Unexpected Heels Trend Gwyneth Paltrow is Backing Instead

My heels collection tells the story of a woman who plays it safe with colour. Neat rows of black, white, beige and deep brown shoes line my shelves, with the occasional flash of colour relegated to a forgotten dust bag at the back of the wardrobe.

While I can confidently describe my edit as classic, it’s hardly the playful, mood-boosting rotation I’m craving now that party season is in full swing. And so began my search for a heels colour trend that could inject some much-needed variety into my otherwise predictable lineup.

Thankfully, Gwyneth Paltrow did what she does best. Stepping out in a hue I’d completely overlooked, she championed a pretty pale pink pump, inspiring my footwear rotation in the process.

In a soft blush shade, Gwyneth tapped into the optimistic colour trend set to dominate come spring. Leaning further into the unexpected, she styled the look tonally with a satin two-piece from Calvin Klein’s SS26 collection.
