Saoirse Ronan's shoes were the stars of her look at Sundance.

As 2024 comes in hot with awards shows and red-carpet events, many celebrities are parading around the Sundance Film Festival this weekend. One notable attendee was Kristen Stewart, whose styling for the event defined contemporary grunge-chic. Another fashionable star to be seen was Saoirse Ronan, who attended the premiere of The Outrun, Nora Fingscheidt's drama starring the 29-year-old actor.

In this case, the Lady Bird actor chose an outfit from Louis Vuitton's spring-summer 2024 collection. The ensemble, proposed by her stylist, Elizabeth Saltzman, consisted of a light blue paillette jumpsuit with a subtle diagonally striped print.

However, the true star of the red-carpet look were Ronan's heels. The strange—but not ugly—shoe featured a low-heel (and comfortable) design that is a hybrid between a classic stiletto and flip-flops.

The Louis Vuitton showstoppers feature a low and comfortable heel, with the instep uncovered and cut in half with the intention of leaving the inner part uncovered. The result is a hybrid between a classic stiletto and flip-flops. They are perfect for mixing with guest dresses or with wide pants, just like Saoirse Ronan’s.
