I'm well aware that we talk about flat shoes a lot here on Who What Wear, but let's take a break from that and talk about a heel trend I've been spotting as of late. It's a walkable heel style (as in, not a stiletto or a platform), it's pretty, and two women with cool style just wore it: Alexa Chung and Michelle Monaghan.

The heel trend I'm referring to is ballet pumps with an oversized bow. They look like something you'd stumble across in a vintage shop (and immediately buy if you get lucky with the size). But recently, the trend has been made famous again by the creative director who is arguably the most inspired-by-vintage designer in the game: Alessandro Michele. Michele is currently the creative director at Valentino, and he designed several oversized-bow ballet pumps for the brand's current collection. And Chung happened to just wear a slingback pair with baggy black pants while in Cannes. Monaghan, who was photographed in NYC, wore her tan leather ballet pumps with a denim midi skirt and red tank. I think we can all agree that the vintagey heels look equally cool with both items.
