Glamour predicted that one of the 2018 shoe trends is the gladiator style. Hearing that now almost seems nostalgic since a lot of us have stopped wearing it for years. But it looks like some celebrities are rocking it once again.
The footwear comes in flat and heel versions with straps of varying lengths and fit. Dra. Vicki Belo and Julie Anne San Jose recently showed off their legs with the knee-high design.
Rachel Peters also opted for this style during Miss Universe 2017’s national costume competition.
Meanwhile, Bianca King wore a simple gladiator sandal with silver and blue studs.
If you want to (finally) give the gladiator shoe a chance for the second or third time, peep our shopping list below.
