If there’s one thing Gigi Hadid, Margot Robbie and Hailey Bieber have in common, it’s their ability to serve up accessories inspo in an instant.
There’s no denying that the flat mesh shoe has been the official footwear choice of almost every fashion fan in 2024, but while we’ve all basked in the sheer joy of a comfortable shoe taking centre stage we’ve got some bad news. Or, at least, Margot, Gigi and Hailey do.
If you’re not a high heel girlie you might want to look away now.
Mesh heels seem to be everywhere right now, with Margot the latest celebrity to fall for their allure. Spotted earlier this week leaving an event in central London in a full black Alaïa look, we couldn’t help but be distracted by those fishnet pumps. See the photos here.
Ringing in at a cool £850 there’s no denying that they’re an investment piece, but with the ubiquitous of their flat-soled counterpart over recent seasons there’s good reason to suspect that this is no fleeting trend.
Another, perhaps unexpected, champion of the trend right now is Hailey Bieber. Yes, the very same one whose maternity wardrobe we’ve been obsessing over in recent weeks. If Hailey can embrace the heeled trend while heavily pregnant, we fear we’ve got no excuses.

Admittedly less high, Hailey’s kitten heel take on the trend is perhaps more accessible for those less keen on a sky-scraper. Slingback and with an exaggerated pointed toe, she paired hers with a leather jacket, a loose-fit low-slung jean and the large patchwork Bottega Veneta Hop bag.
Jumping on the trend via a super delicate, pretty pair earlier this summer, Gigi Hadid made an appearance on The Drew Barrymore Show wearing a slingback nude pair of mesh heels with metallic bow detailing and bold, iridescent embellishment.
