Kitten heel flip-flops have surged in popularity among Gen Z, driven by their balance of comfort and subtle elevation. Celebrities and influencers have helped boost the trend, while luxury and high-street brands report rising sales and searches. Experts link the shift to a desire for practical femininity, a reaction to years of comfort-focused footwear, and a potential movement toward a renewed era of higher heels.

Speculation intensifies over which designer will create Taylor Swift’s wedding dress, with contenders ranging from Dior’s Jonathan Anderson to American favourites like Ralph Lauren and long-time collaborators such as Oscar de la Renta and Monse. Designers including Stella McCartney, Vivienne Westwood, Givenchy, Louis Vuitton and Elie Saab are also considered possibilities, each supported by past appearances, collaborations or stylistic clues. Travis Kelce’s wedding attire is expected to come from Mike Amiri, who has previously created custom looks for the NFL star.
