Kitten heel thongs are taking over the streets: Inside the next fashion trend
You've seen thongs – or flip flops as some might call them – and you've seen kitten heels. But the latest shoe trend the stars can't get enough of is the perfect blend of both.

Elle Fanning
Who said thongs can't be glamorous?
If you need proof the kitten heel thong can be dressed up, look no further than Elle Fanning during the 2022 Cannes Film Festival.
For her off-duty look in Cannes, Fanning stepped out in a chic white dress with a pair of the popular heels on her feet.

Kendall Jenner
As the highest paid supermodel in the world, you best believe Kendall Jenner has tried and tested pretty much every trend out there.
Back in April 2021, the reality star-turned-model was pictured out and about walking the street of New York in a pair of the popular heels.
She paired the heels with a business casual attire, wearing belted trousers and a dress shirt.

The thong heels had an extra strap on the top for a bit of flair.
Sienna Miller
The trend has some A-list endorsements.
Hollywood darling Sienna Miller wore a pair of thong heels a little big higher than the kitten size.
The actress was seen walking the streets of New York City in April 2022, wearing a pair of white high thong heels with a knit jumper and form-fitting skirt.

The shoes were a wedge style with an added kitten heel on the bottom.
Nicola Coughlan
Actress Nicola Coughlan, of Bridgerton fame, is a fan of the shoe too!
It's been quite a year for the actress, starring as the lead of the popular season three of the period drama series.
While promoting the third season of Bridgerton at BBC Radio One in June 2024, Coughlan was seen wearing heel thongs on the streets of London.
To go with the shoe, she carried a matching white handbag.

Georgia May Jagger
A fluffy twist on thongs.
Mick Jagger and Jerry Hall's model daughter Georgia May Jagger has become a style icon in her own right – and it's looks like these that prove why.
For London Fashion Week in September 2023, the model showed up in a colourful look from her top to her stockings.
Her choice of shoe was perhaps the most interesting part of the outfit though...
