There are not many people who can wear head-to-toe Pepto pink, not to mention a graphic sweater, metallic pleats and Gucci monograms all in one outfit.
How
does Bey bring this seemingly grade-school ensemble to sophisticated
street-style status? Divert your eyes to those red velvet sandals—the
deep hue anchors the entire outfit, diffusing any sensory overload.
Red
heels are oftentimes used to make a statement but in some cases, like
Queen B's, they can be used as a neutral as well—consider them wardrobe
essentials you didn't know you needed.
How else can they be worn? Get inspired below.

As Kate Hudson
proves, bold pumps are the only thing you need to elevate an outfit.
Does your lazy Sunday entail a tee and jeans? Add some sleek red heeds
and the photogs will come swarming—it's really that easy. The same
impact can be made with red flats or sneakers…you know, for those who
prefer comfort.

For the more adventurous, you can always pare down textured, clunky statement shoes with your outfit. Timeless star Abigail Spencer
complemented her red stompers with a sophisticated leather midi, white
blouse and neutral trench. The trick here is to keep everything—except
for the shoes—minimal.

Seeing red? Hailee Steinfeld
is too. Oftentimes, pairing a red outfit with red shoes can be a bit
too much, but mixing design details (like the dress' clean lines with
the shoes' curvy upper) can make just enough of a subtle contrast. Just
keep your makeup neutral!

Do you consider socks and sandals a faux pas? Fashion girls like Alba Rohrwacher
would disagree. As the weather turns for the chilly, wearing the two
together will put your summer shoes to good use. Just make sure the
sandals are open toe, so you can see the different textures and
materials that make this combo interesting. You'll want to keep your
outfit neutral and airy, to complement the style statement you're making
with your footwear. These are not your under-the-radar shoes, after
all.
