Brie Larson Wore the Sensible Summer Shoe Trend That Just Won’t Quit

For some reason, the Cannes Film Festival fashion always takes me by surprise. Maybe it’s because every year, the sartorial moments are better than the last, or maybe it’s because I’m just not used to seeing so many bold trends in one picturesque place (lots of nakedness this time around!), but whatever the reason, I’m admiring everything that’s happening abroad right now.

While the Cannes red carpet is known to bring lots of bold, out-there fashion moments (which I love!), I can't stop thinking about Brie Larson’s latest off-carpet look that’s very wearable day-to-day; in fact, you probably wear her exact bottoms while lounging on the couch. What’s more, she paired the look with the sensible shoe that just won’t quit: ballet flats. 

Larson’s Cannes ensemble consisted of sexy, silky short-shorts that we don’t usually see outside of the house. That said, these fall right in-between lingerie and loungewear, and considering we’ve seen both extremes on the street, like full-on pajamas and fully exposed bras, Larson’s slinky bottoms seem like a humble pick. She paired it with a form-fitting top with a large floral appliqué on the front, rounding out the look with the aforementioned flats.

The actress could have easily paired the shorts-and-top look with heels, but TBH, that would have completely changed the vibe. There’s just something so simple and beautiful about her easygoing but chic combo, that the only feasible footwear pick was sleek black flats. However, hers weren’t just any ol’ flats, they were cool flats, thanks to the slingback detailing that feels so fresh and fun.
