    This year, Broadway's biggest stars aren't Tony Award winners, but celebrity theater-goer-approved shoe trends. While Sabrina Carpenter watched Cats: The Jellicle Ball in peep-toe pumps, Kylie Jenner styled heeled flip-flops at Fear of 13. Following their lead, Sienna Miller wore the celebrity-beloved ballet flats trend to the West End (London's equivalent of Broadway). Of course, her It shoes stole the show, too.

    For a performance of Abigail's Party, which is set in the '70s, the London native arrived at The Harold Pinter Theatre in a cream-colored button-down (peep the subtle brocade satin) and flared sky blue jeans. She accessorized her appropriately boho-chic look with retro orange-tinted aviator sunglasses and a black Chloé Bracelet Bag, complete with a crescent body and a hoop-ring handle.

    Judging by the loafer-length toe boxes, shiny black leather, and short block heels, the shoes appear to be sold-out Club Slippers by Phoebe Philo. While Miller has worn the pair since Sept. 2025, it wasn't until this year that the high-vamp flats movement has taken off. The style from the London designer and former Chloé creative director has been winning over famous faces like Dakota Johnson, Hailey Bieber, Rihanna, and Dua Lipa this entire summer.

    High-vamp heels weren't just a runway regular at Balenciaga, Chanel, and Stella McCartney earlier this year. The elongated toes and low-heeled styles are the preferred anti-pumps of Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Sarah Pidgeon, and more.

    Last February, during Milan Fashion Week, Jenner finished her trench coat outfit with the same Club Slippers from Phoebe Philo. One month later, Bieber styled Calvin Klein's slingback take on the trend with a cashmere turtleneck and matching trousers. As recently as Aug. 19 in New York City, Pidgeon wore a little gray dress from Khaite and the clog-like Colt Slip-On Loafers.
