Move over subtle slingbacks and buckled biker boots, there’s a new trending footwear silhouette in town - and Rita Ora is making sure everyone knows how to style them for summer.
Posting to her millions of Instagram followers on Thursday morning, Rita shared a selection of posed snaps sporting a pair of leather wedged flip flop heels embellished with a single gold accent.

Opting for an ultra-glam off-the-shoulder sheer mini dress which she styled over a sparkly bandeau bra and a set of mini biker shorts, Rita oozed It-girl off-duty in the chicest way possible.

Rita's particular shoes are from cult-favourite New Zealand fashion brand Paris Georgia and currently retail online for £510.

But, like all good trends, the flip flop heel went back into hibernation for the winter season, replaced by more weather-appropriate options. Until now…

Wear yours with wide-leg jeans and a crop top, a mini dress just like Rita’s or a silk slip for a date-night dinner on the beach. Whatever the occasion, Rita’s beloved silhouette is a versatile fashion force to be reckoned with.
Truth be told, whatever Rita wears (as documented by her social media feed) will skyrocket to the top of our wishlist - and these bizarre yet overly chic sandal heels are no different.
If you see us in summer with a pair, just know that Rita walked so we could run.
