May 21, 2021: If anyone’s going to revive a fashion trend, it would be Blake Lively. This week, on Wednesday, May 19, to be exact, the Gossip Girl alum was spotted on her way to dinner with her husband, Ryan Reynolds, wearing one of the most famous footwear trends to come out of the 90s: jelly sandals. While we’re all feeling nostalgic with the recent Gossip Girl reboot in the works, we now have something new to long for.
The mom of three’s see-through jelly sandals are from a newly launched collab with Rombaut and Melissa. She teamed the eye-catching footwear with a floral Reformation dress—the perfect outfit for the warm New York City weather. She’s just one of the celebrities to resurface 90s and early 2000s trends as of late. Low-rise jeans, velour tracksuits, and yes, jelly sandals are topping the trends list all over again (Siri, play “Deja Vu” by Olivia Rodrigo).
This year, we’ve seen fashion houses and brands like Balenciaga and Roger Vivier are creating their own luxe iteration of the jelly sandal. The iconic Gucci jelly sandal went viral on TikTok right when they launched and is probably one of the most sought-after shoes of the moment. On top of typically coming in candy-like colorways or transparent with glitter, the shoes are functional for just about any and every summer activity, and they’re conveniently easy to clean.
Whether you’re seeking a more classic option like Lively’s or an updated take with platform heels like the Gucci pair, we uncovered some of the best on the market right now.
