Ugly shoes are having a major style moment right now, donned by the likes of Katie Holmes earlier this week, Alexa Chung on the regular and now by Mamm a Mia star, Amanda Seyfried.
The actress and mother-of-two made a case for the comfortable, yet fabulously unstylish footwear choice in a recent throwback ‘gram snap.

When she’s not in character on the silver screen or attending A-list awards show parties, Amanda can be found with her husband, Thomas Sadoski, and two young children, Nina and Thomas, on their home farm in the Catskills Mountains of New York.

Katie Holmes championed the trend, donning a pair of grandpa-core coded fisherman sandals in brown suede while out on a walk over the weekend, while the queen of street style Emily Ratajkowski styled a set of strappy sporty ballerina flats with jorts for one of her official NYC hot-girl walks earlier this year.

Whether or not you think the footwear trend is a total style serve or a faux pas, unfortunately for those of you who think the latter, we’re bracing ourselves for a lot more in the coming months as fashion moguls around the globe gather together for SS25 fashion month.
