When all celebrities from actresses and performers to models and even fashion bloggers jump on the same bandwagon, well, that means something. For those who aren’t in the know, mules have a very long history, followed by plenty of controversy.
They go way back to ancient Rome, and travelled to France where they were reportedly much beloved by both Madame de Pompadour and Marie Antoinette. According to AnOther magazine, the love these powerful women had for this particular shoe prompted Manolo Blahnik to ask “When you walk in mules, you walk a bit differently. It’s very sexy to me; you have to get your balance… Madame de Pompadour in her mules, walking around Versailles, click, click, click… Can you think of anything more exquisite?” Of course, the shoes were followed by an abundance of controversy with some calling them trashy and claiming that they had no place outside the house.
Nevertheless, they are here, ruling both the runways and the streets. They became a runway staple back in 2016, but it took a bit of time before they came to be widely accepted. Now, we are showcasing the multitude of celebs sporting them to almost every occasion, so stay tuned and find out how to mix, match and style the ‘it’ shoe of the year.
