The Unexpected 2025 Shoe Trend Bella Hadid’s Wearing All Over Paris

Leave it to Bella Hadid to dethrone classic loafers (for now at least) and set in motion the rise of its similar yet far less talked-about sister shoe, the heeled loafer. I, for one, hadn’t thought about heeled loafers in years, however, when Hadid arrived in Paris this week ahead of the Saint Laurent show tomorrow and almost immediately stepped out in a sold-out pair by The Row, I was both in shock and awe. Then, I quickly kicked off a mission to find either her exact pair (TRR, eBay, and Vestiaire Collective—prepare yourselves now) or an equally chic and elevated alternative.

It would be wrong of me to not credit @pinkmochhi on Twitter for first calling out the chic nature of Hadid’s travel shoe choice. In a tweet posted yesterday, Sam wrote, “Fine, now I’m falling for these The Row heeled loafers thanks to her,” and attached a photo of Hadid in Paris as well as a close-up on-model shot of the ‘Ôrəbella founder’s The Row calfskin block heels with gold hardware. Like her, I fell hard and fast for them, only to discover that they sold out ages ago, both in black and metallic red.
