Marilyn Monroe, perhaps apocryphally, once said: “Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world.” Monroe would likely have the same attitude if she replaced the word shoes with a Tiffany & Co. or Cartier diamond, but her sentiment resonate nonetheless.
Sartorialists should never underestimate the transformative power of a good shoe. Footwear is foremost, with perennially stylish savants like Carrie Bradshaw and Rihanna perpetually proving why an ensemble is never complete until the precise pair of buckled Manolo Blahniks or razor-sharp Amina Muaddi stilettos are adorned.
The concept of putting your best foot forward in both the literal and sartorial sense is obvious but often underlooked when faced with (what some might argue) more important styling choices. This notion has never been more pertinent than with party shoes.
This season, footwear has come to the forefront with more informal or athleisure adjacent styles, like Miu Miu’s satin ballet slipper or Sandy Liang’s mesh Mary Janes. However, with most festive dress codes calling for heightened glamour, party shoes are a very specific genre of footwear.
Irrespective of the occasion, party shoes offer an under-utilised opportunity to further accentuate your outfit, make a bold statement or even put you in the partying mood with disco ball-rivalling pumps.
While Marilyn herself was correct about the right pair of shoes allowing you to conquer the world, we’re applying this logic to a more meaningful mission and uncovering the footwear encouraging you to conquer the dance floor.
Whether you’re in search of the perfect glistening compliment to your soirée-approved mini, soaring stilettos to elevate your ensemble to the next extreme or even anything but basic mules to help keep you grounded, keep scrolling below for GRAZIA’s guide to the best party shoes.
