Margaret Qualley seems to have sparked a conversation around her shoe choice recently. For the London premiere of her forthcoming film, The Dog Stars, the gorgeous actress donned an all-black look. However, it was her choice of shoes that grabbed the attention. Netizens have been speaking about Chanel’s recent collection for a while now, as they feel the pair barely qualifies as a shoe, given that it lacks an insole, outsole, or even a toe box.
It was back in April 2026 when the creative director of Chanel, Matthieu Blazy, presented ‘Barefoot Heel Cap’ at the Chanel cruise 2027 show. The cap-toe shoe was first introduced by Gabrielle Chanel in 1957. Back then, the shoes had a slingback with a contrasting vamp, and over the years the idea has evolved. The recent piece is known as the Barefoot Heel Cap. The moment it was presented, it sparked gossip; people mainly started creating a meme fest around it.

Additionally, Margaret posed with Jacob Elordi at The Dog Stars’ premiere. The movie is directed by Ridley Scott and, apart from Margaret and Jacob Elordi, it also features Josh Brolin. It is scheduled for release in theaters and IMAX on August 28, 2026.
