4 Unexpected Shoe Brands The Stars Love For Summer

Stars love these new shoe brands, and it’s easy to understand why. They’re not your typical shoe fare, and they serve up something a little different from your typical red-carpet sandal or on-the-go sneaker. The brands are all different, and each comes with a clear aesthetic and winning style when it comes to summer.

Olgana Paris

Some stars are bidding adieu to the expected red-carpet strappy sandal and embracing a feminine and elegant line by Parisian designer Olga Djanguirov. Bows, ruffles and sophisticated details make the shoes a new favorite of stars such as Kirsten Dunst and Gabrielle Union.
