Everyday opulence—with its brocade jackets, tassel-trimmed handbags, and menswear-inspired cummerbunds is one of fall 2026’s biggest trends, and it was only a matter of time before sumptuous velvet flats would enter the wardrobe mix. Celebrities and the street style set are already on board with the look, confirming the decadent footwear trend is having a moment this fall.
Vogue’s Favorite Velvet Flats:
An early champion, just recently Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in New York City wearing velvet slippers with a matching velvet housecoat from Colleen Allen and slinky black silk pants. Elsewhere in Los Angeles, Dakota Johnson paired hers with a leather trench and a classic white tee for a low-key outing.
But Lawrence and Johnson’s flats—both likely from The Row—aren’t the only velvet styles to choose from this season. There’s also Reformation’s low-heeled ballerina, or Khaite’s high vamp shoe in a rich burnt orange. There’s even a pair of pointed-toe flats in royal purple from Gianvito Rossi. For a more slipper-like look, Toteme’s velvet flats stay true to the classics, while mules from Dôen and Staud could easily double as your favorite indoor-outdoor shoes.
