Margaret Qualley wears controversial Chanel barefoot sandals in London
Actress Margaret Qualley has drawn significant attention for her footwear choice at the London premiere of the film ‘The Dog Stars’. Qualley wore controversial ‘barefoot sandals’ from Chanel’s Cruise 2027 collection, designed by creative director Matthieu Blazy.
The minimalist footwear, also referred to as ‘naked shoes’, lacks a traditional sole, leaving the wearer’s soles and toes exposed. The design consists of a heel structure and ankle straps, creating the optical illusion that the wearer is walking barefoot. Qualley paired the sandals with a black Chanel dress featuring long fringes and a deep V-neckline.
The footwear has sparked debate among fashion enthusiasts and media outlets. While some view the design as a bold artistic statement, others have questioned its practicality. The sandals were originally presented during the Chanel Cruise 2026/27 show in Biarritz and are reportedly available primarily to VIP clients.
