The $160 shoe we spotted on the heels of Met Gala celebs this year

Give it to us in every colour, stat.

The Met Gala isn’t just fashion’s biggest night; it’s a clear indicator for the trends we’ll be obsessing over all year.

From bold beauty looks to unexpected accessories, what hits the steps of the Metropolitan Museum of Art has a ripple effect across runways, street style, and our own Pinterest boards. And when it comes to inspiration, no one delivers quite like a celeb in full glam.

This year, one surprise stood out: Charles & Keith. The cult-favourite brand popped up on more than one A-lister, proving you don’t need a five-figure shoe budget to serve Met Gala-level style.

In particular, the Michelle Recycled Polyester Platform Sandals (custom-made for the night, of course) graced the heels of several celebs this year.

Sleek, sculptural, and sustainably minded, the heels added a grounded elegance to the night’s over-the-top glamour and solidified Charles & Keith as a serious red carpet contender.

The best part? You can recreate the look with the exact same sandals in white, silver or gold – all crafted from recycled polyester and set on 12cm chunky heels for maximum impact.
