Lily-Rose Depp first discovered the so-wrong-it’s-right thrill of wearing a grandma-ish wedge in 2021, having spent most of the summer months photographed in $60 Wörishofer sandals–which, according to the brand’s website, feature a “generously cushioned anatomical footbed that massages the foot with each and every step”–beloved among bunion-prone women of a certain age.
Depp likes to wear those orthopedic babies with Maryam Nassir Zadeh miniskirts, low-rise jeans from Paloma Wool and spaghetti-strapped Brandy Melville tank tops, transferring onto them the same levels of sex appeal as Tom Ford’s Gucci sling-backs and thong-toed Miu Mius. (I.e., she makes them look hot.) See also: Depp’s rotation of Chanel pumps, tan loafers from The Row, Repetto flats and Maison Margiela block-heeled ballerinas. There is a real appetite for these golden-age steppers.
The actor was yesterday afternoon photographed freaking it through Los Angeles with girlfriend 070 Shake in similar shoes—peep-toe wedges in a modest blush tone that reached no more than two inches above ground level–with a studded Gimaguas top and some low-slung vintage Guess jeans with a miniature top-handle bag from The Row’s 90’s range. She looked like a young Carrie Bradshaw–who, for what it’s worth, has just as much history with Scholl’s Pescura clog as she does her Manolo Blahnik heels–having worn those arch-support sandals in 2002, long before she needed a hip replacement.
