At the London premiere of The Dog Stars on August 20, actress Margaret Qualley wore Chanel's unconventional 'barefoot sandals' from the Resort 2027 collection by Matthieu Blazy. These sandals feature minimal straps and a small heel cap, leaving toes and soles exposed, creating the illusion of walking barefoot. The design sparked mixed reactions online, with some praising the fashion statement and others questioning its practicality and aesthetic. Qualley paired the shoes with a black Chanel dress, highlighting the footwear's striking minimalism.
