Once all the rage around five years ago, the duck shoe—or rather, duck boot at the time—was a favourite amongst the fashion set, the most popular being the Manu Atelier lace-up boots that were found on the feet of nearly every influencer. The elongated, square-toed shoe a divisive style that not everyone was enthusiastic about; its reappearance on Cameron Diaz elicited more than a few groans at our morning meeting.
But in the fiery hue, Cameron makes a case for the exaggerated style as a quirky shoe to add a touch of whimsy to an otherwise prim and proper look. She later wore it out again that evening with a faux leather trench coat and demure grey slacks, demonstrating just how versatile the shoe can be if styled with a monochromatic palette.

Cameron’s latest Fashion Week appearance marks both an on-screen and sartorial renaissance for the star who had previously taken some time away from Hollywood for a quieter life. She is set to return to Shrek for the franchise’s fifth movie, in which Cameron has voiced the character of Fiona since the film was first released in 2001 and will be joined by Zendaya who will voice Shrek’s daughter in a viral announcement made last week. We just can’t wait to see all the looks this ’90s queen will be serving on the press tour.
