Ballet flats are all the rage at the moment, and we’re totally on board with this trend revival.

After many years on the outskirts of trending fashion, TikTok’s balletcore has brought ballet flats back in vogue, and for good reason. Ballet flats are comfortable, cute, and versatile — not only in their design, but also in their functionality! Some people can’t wear heels for one reason or another, and ballet flats offer an easy-to-wear, but still stylish alternative to traditional heels and sneakers.

To honor this shoe trend, here are 12 of our favorite ballet flats on the market for all of your upcoming events and outings!

Steve Madden Alisah Ballet Flats in Red Leather

Steve Madden is high-key killing the ballet flats game right now, but this strappy red design is our absolute fave of them all! The smooth leather upper flaunts a matte finish, while the tiny silver buckles on the pair of Mary Janes-inspired adjustable straps have more shine. The 1/2-inch heel has a barely-there feel, but it's enough "pump" to give your looks a fashionable boost.

These ballet flats are also shoppable in black or metallic silver. They're now on sale for $54 (was $100) for a limited time – run, don't walk!

Pilcro Soft Ballet Flats in Silver

Metallics are massive when it comes to ballet flats, and wow, these shoes surely do shine! These sleek silver flats from Pilcro are crafted from durable leather and flaunt a bouncy rubber sole for tip-top comfort. The toe area is slightly squared in shape and the shoes have a very small raised heel that balances out each and every step.

If this shiny sheen isn't quite your style, this design also comes in muted shades brown, blue, green, cream white, and black – perfect for wearing with anything! These ballet flats are $140.

Jeffrey Campbell x Free People x Understated Leather Stars Align Ballet Flats

It's safe to say we're obsessed with these star-studded ballet flats from Free People. The tiny celestial appliqués, elastic straps, and small bows that sit at the toes feel whimsical and wonderful for channeling our inner child. These details are what make the shoes unique, but the black colorway tones them down perfectly for everyday wear.

These satiny ballet flats also come in a pinkish nude color and white leather for $168.

Vivaia Margot 2.0 Square-Toe V-Cut Mesh Flats in Lemon

These ballet flats are as comfortable as they are cute! The plush sole makes this pair so easy to tote around in on city walks or the grocery store. Better yet, they channel the butter yellow color trend we're about to start seeing everywhere, so now's the time to jump on the trend before anyone else!

You can snag these Vivaia flats in literally 55 different colors right now. These vivid yellow ones go for $97, while cheaper colorways are on sale for $79!

Sam Edelman Michaela Mary Jane Flats in Modern Ivory

If you're particular about matching your outfit to your accessories, these ballet flats from Sam Edelman are proudly crafted with gold hardware that can go swimmingly alongside your gold jewelry or gold hoop earrings! The squared-off toe gives these shoes a super polished look that can take you from the office to happy hour seamlessly.

These no-frills ballet flats are shoppable in black, silver, white, tan, and denim blue for $130 at Nordstrom.

Rothy’s The Point Flat in Dragon Fruit

Feel pretty-in-pink with these pointed ballet flats that are also great for a Barbie movie watch party! The electric colorway is undeniably eye-catching, but you'll love these slip-ons even more for their comfort level. They arrive fully broken-in with a flexible upper and a cushy insole that require no additional tweaking or stretching!

You can shop these sustainably-made flats in 9 other colors for $149.

Pilcro Woven Ballet Flats in Cream

With these woven ballet flats, your feet won't be screaming from excess sweat during the spring and summer. The open design lends them to exceptional breathability, so they're still cute AF while being practical AF! The silhouette of these shoes is quite simple, making them an easy match for essentially anything you've already got in your closet. Extra points for the bows!

These playful ballet flats are also shoppable in black, silver, and red for $150 at Anthropologie.

Circus NY Zuri Strap Ballet Flats in Red Poppy

These fiery red ballet flats are going viral right now, and we love to see it! They'll become an instant staple in your summer ensembles once you slide them on. They boast a few more details than your average ballet flat: bows at the toes and crossing straps give these shoes a bit more edge!

You can find these flats from Circus NY in so many colors, it's almost hard to choose one! While the red colorway is super trendy at the moment, you can also shop more subdued colors like cream, gold, and mauve for $80.

Old Navy Mary Jane Square-Toe Ballet Flats in Abalone Pink

Donning the best ballerina color, a light pink shade, these strappy ballet flats from Old Navy will totally help you pull off the balletcore aesthetic year-round. The toe box is squared and elongated to bring forth that true dancer vibe to your look. As far as affordable ballet flats go, these are our fave!

They also come in black that's a seamless match with skirts, jeans, and shorts. Snag 'em for just $25!

Steve Madden Vinetta Ballet Flats in Baby Blue Leather

Baby blue ballet flats have entered the chat. These serene shoes from Steve Madden are a nice, colorful departure from your traditional black or white flats, and we really enjoy that they don't feel entirely distracting. Pastels like this are so easy to incorporate into your wardrobe, you may surprise yourself with how many ways you style these!

These flats with thin buckled straps come in a handful of other colors and materials, and the best part is they're on sale for $60 (was $80) for a limited time!

C.Paravano Mary Jane Flats

Dare to stand out in these bright yellow babies! The sunny color will provide an instant lift to any of your spring or summer outfits, especially ones that crave color. The insole is made from lambskin, which contributes to an always-comfy wear. The outer is comprised of patent leather for some serious shine. The singular strap secures on either side with a decorative gold button.

You can find these ballet flats on Amazon in a huge range of different colors for $106!

ALOHAS Rosalind Brown Ballet Flats

These unique ballet flats from ALOHAS feature a cinched detail on top of the toes which covers more of your foot. The toe is squared off for peak chicness, and the tied bows add the perfect dose of feminine charm. These ballet flats even feature a tab at the back to help you slide 'em on. The thin heel provides a bit of a boost in height, but doesn't feel noticeable at all.

This style of shoes comes in a few other colors like red, black, and butter yellow for $145 (on sale now, was $170)!

I am the opposite of a casual Reputation fan. Four of my five most-listened-to songs on Spotify are from the 2017 album, I wore a Rep-inspired outfit to my Eras Tour show, and I am constantly analyzing (and talking about) its symbolism. I stand by the fact that this album, as misunderstood as it is, is actually the key to understanding Taylor Swift herself, which is why its rerelease is the one I've been most looking forward to. With TikTok, X (formerly Twitter), and Reddit, it feels like there's a new theory every day about when we'll get Reputation (Taylor's Version), but I'm pretty sure Taylor's been telling us the announcement date the whole time.

When is Taylor Swift releasing Reputation (Taylor's Version)?

The cappuccino Easter egg from the "Karma" music video.

We don't have an official Reputation (Taylor's Version) release date yet, but all signs were originally pointing to an announcement on February 16, 2024. When the music video for "Karma" from Midnights came out, featuring a shot of Taylor holding a cappuccino, Swifties immediately picked up on the symbolism. The blue nail (which represents 1989 (Taylor's Version)) lines up with the 8 on the clock, and the black nail lines up with the 2 on the clock. Taylor ended up announcing 1989 TV on August 9 — and then announced The Tortured Poets Department(also known as TS11) onstage at the 2024 Grammys in February!

TaylorNation just teased the Reputation (Taylor's Version) release date by hopping on the latest internet trend, which uses the "You wouldn't last an hour in the asylum where they raised me" lyric from "Who's Afraid Of Little Old Me?" Their Instagram carousel features images that have sent Swifties spiraling in the past, but there are two pics I'm paying special attention to: the "five holes in the fence" image from the Lover era, and a "Bejeweled" music video still of Taylor Swift pressing 3 in an elevator. May 3 (5/3) comes two weeks after the TTPD release, and since Taylor has been emphasizing her lead single "Fortnight" with the "For a Fortnight" challenge, it looks like it could line up perfectly.

There are plenty of other potential summer release dates too! Swifties know Taylor Swift lives and breathes the number 13, and that she's been making her recent rerecording announcements at her Eras Tour shows.

Well, this summer, Taylor is heading to Milan for a show on Saturday, July 13. X user @roranotaurora points out that the symbol for Milan is a snake (it's also a symbol for Rep!) AND that on July 13, 1977, there was a blackout across New York City. When Taylor announced the original Reputation in 2017, the "Don't Blame Me" singer blacked out all her social media. If she announced the album in July, there's a good chance we'd get it just in time for autumn, chilly weather, and Daylight Savings Time, all three of which go perfectly with the Reputation aesthetic.

There's another 13 we need to pay attention to as well: December 13, which is also Taylor Swift's birthday. The popstar had the date front and center in her Tortured Poets Department pop-up installation. Since the date falls on a Friday, it's the perfect day to drop some new music...

Are there any other clues that Reputation (Taylor's Version) will come out next?

Taylor Swift attends the 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton on January 07, 2024 in Beverly Hills, California.

Recently, Taylor showed up to the 81st Golden Globe Awards in an all green ensemble, which is already so Reputation-coded to begin with. However, fans noticed one teeeeeeeny tiny detail about her look that really leans into all the theories that Rep (TV) is next. If you zoom in on her rings, one of them is a snake that's wrapped around her finger. 🐍

And after Taylor Swift released a video teasing her new album, Swifties are analyzing all the snakeskin patterns (on the curtains, the floor, and the green couch), as well as the dark visuals. While the video moves from the dark room to a bright one for TTPD, I'm convinced we'll be returning — or continuing down the hallway where you can see a dark picture frame waiting for us...

All the surprise songs at her Tokyo Eras Tour shows referenced falling apart, and a huge part of the Reputation era was related to a quote from Taylor that says "when she fell, she fell apart." Before playing "The Outside" as her piano surprise song on February 9, she made a joke that the song was 175 years old — which has Swifties thinking August 2 (175 days from February 9) could be the album's release date. Considering "The Outside" is off her first album, it's also possible we're getting Taylor Swift (Taylor's Version) in August!

A recent Disney+ ad that paired the Eras Tour film and Disney Pixar's Cars went viral on Twitter because its tagline is "Getaway Car," one of the most beloved songs on Reputation (Taylor's Version)! No matter when the album drops, having Taylor Swift's final two re-recordings be her name and her reputation is literally so iconic and I can't wait to listen.

What Taylor Swift songs are on Reputation (Taylor's Version)?

We know that, based on previous re-recordings, Reputation (Taylor's Version) will have the original tracklist and an unknown number of vault tracks that Taylor wrote ahead of the Reputation era. PEOPLE also confirmed we'll be able to hear Taylor Swift's "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)" in the new docuseries for the New England Patriots! You can also hear a snippet in the trailer for Ashley Benson's Wilderness ;). Here's what you can expect on Taylor Swift's Reputation (Taylor's Version). I'm really hoping the vault tracks include "I Don't Want To Live Forever"!

  1. "Ready For It? (Taylor's Version)"
  2. "End Game (Taylor's Version)"
  3. "I Did Something Bad (Taylor's Version)"
  4. "Don't Blame Me (Taylor's Version)"
  5. "Delicate (Taylor's Version)"
  6. "Look What You Made Me Do (Taylor's Version)"
  7. "So It Goes... (Taylor's Version)"
  8. "Gorgeous (Taylor's Version)"
  9. "Getaway Car (Taylor's Version)"
  10. "King Of My Heart (Taylor's Version)"
  11. "Dancing With Our Hands Tied (Taylor's Version)"
  12. "Dress (Taylor's Version)"
  13. "This Is Why We Can't Have Nice Things (Taylor's Version)"
  14. "Call It What You Want (Taylor's Version)"
  15. "New Year's Day (Taylor's Version)"

What is Taylor Swift wearing to Grammys 2024?

Taylor Swift showed up to the 2024 Grammys in a sculptural white gown from Schiaparelli Couture. I love how Taylor has hopped on the corset trend. This is my favorite neckline in recent years! Even though the dress is white instead of black or green — and ended up going along with the Tortured Poets Department (or TS 11) announcement — I think it's still a Reputation (Taylor's Version) Easter egg. White is, of course, the opposite of black, so I think it's a more unexpected reference to the album, with black accessories like gloves, shoes, and jewelry being a direct nod. Plus, the watch necklace pays homage to Midnights! At the 2022 VMAs, Taylor wore another Reputation-coded outfit before she announced Midnights, so I think it's definitely a pattern.

Is there gonna be a Reputation Taylor's Version?

Taylor Swift performs at Optus Stadium on October 19, 2018 in Perth, Australia.

Yes, we're getting a Reputation (Taylor's Version)! Taylor Swift has been very vocal about the fact she's rerecording her first five albums. However, she's been less direct about the order or the release schedule, which is honestly more fun! The official Taylor Nation account added fuel to the fire when they posted a photo of Taylor rehearsing for The Eras Tour — because, like @nashs_mom on TikTok says, the pose doesn't match up with any of the songs. While all the photos they've previously posted match up with numbers like "Enchanted" or "Illicit Affairs," the new pose seems to match up with "I Did Something Bad" (which is both the last Reputation surprise song left AND the perfect song to announce the rerecording).

"Hear me out," another TikTok user commented. "['I Did Something Bad'] was not part of the set list in 2023 but what if the first night of the tour in 2024 she performs [it] and announces REP TV."

"I literally ratatatataed as soon as I saw it," another user says, referencing the iconic production at the beginning of the song. We have less than a month before the Eras Tour starts up again, so I'm excited to see when we'll finally get a Reputation (Taylor's Version) announcement!

What caused Taylor Swift to make Reputation?

Cover art for Kanye West's The Life Of Pablo, which features "Famous."

The primary catalyst for Taylor Swift's Reputation era was a phone call with Kanye West and Kim Kardashian. After Taylor said Kanye did not have her permission to say he "made that b-tch famous" in "Famous," a video leak from Kim seemed to show Taylor did actually give her permission (it was later revealed the video was edited, and Taylor gave her permission to be mentioned, NOT to be called a b-tch).

"#TaylorSwiftIsOverParty" began trending on Twitter, and everyone from the media to the general public began calling her a snake. So she disappeared from the public eye for over a year, and Reputation was born. The era was moody — and full of snake imagery. Taylor says in her TIME interview that the album came from "a goth-punk moment of female rage at being gaslit by an entire social structure," and told Rolling Stone in 2019 that Reputation was a "metaphor" and her "playing a character."

How old was Taylor when she wrote Reputation?

Charli XCX, Camila Cabello and Taylor Swift perform onstage during opening night of Taylor Swift's 2018 Reputation Stadium Tour at University of Phoenix Stadium on May 8, 2018 in Glendale, Arizona.

Taylor began writing Reputation in 2016, when she was 27. However, the stories she's telling go back farther than that since "Dancing With Our Hands Tied" talks about a relationship from when she was 25.

Is Reputation a love album?

Image via Big Machine Records

Cover art for Taylor Swift's Reputation.

While Reputation is sassy, moody, and satirical, I stand by the idea that it's actually a love album at its core. While the general public talked most about "Ready for It?" and "Look What You Made Me Do," songs like "Delicate," "Call It What You Want," and "New Year's Day" are all about healing after the media turned against her. The message of the album is all about how she wants to spend the the ins and outs of life with people she loves, because they make the boring days beautiful, which is also the sentiment running throughout "Lover."

"I want your midnights, but I'll be cleaning up bottles with you on New Year's Day" and "We can leave the Christmas lights up 'til January" are the same!!

What are the Reputation Taylor's Version vault tracks?

A Horcrux from Harry Potter And The Deathly Hallows: Part I

While we don't have the tracklist for Reputation (Taylor's Version) yet, she did mention in her TIME interview that the vault tracks will be "fire."

"I’m collecting horcruxes,” she says of the rerecordings. “I’m collecting infinity stones. Gandalf’s voice is in my head every time I put out a new one. For me, it is a movie now.”

I'm going to be real honest, this is the line that sent me into a tailspin because the idea that Taylor loves stories like Harry Potter, Lord of the Rings, and the MCU as much as I do is too much!! But it makes sense because after all, she IS a storyteller.

If Emma Stone is on a movie's cast list, there's a good chance I'll be watching. The Poor Things actress (who just won an Oscar for her role!) is teaming up with director Yorgos Lanthimos for a third time on his new movie Kinds of Kindness. The summer movie has a crazy cast list, and the story looks like it could be one of Yorgos’ wackiest movies yet. While both The Favourite and Poor Things served as strange and fantastical looks at different time periods, it seems Kinds of Kindness takes place in modern America. Here's everything we know!

What is Emma Stone's new movie?

Image via Searchlight Pictures

Emma Stone's new movie is called Kinds of Kindness. The film will follow three separate stories: a man who feels like he has no agency and sets out to claim control over his life, a policeman whose missing wife reappears and seems to be a completely different person, and a woman searching for someone with inhuman abilities who's destined for leadership.

In the newest still from Kinds of Kindness, Emma Stone and Joe Alwyn seem to be in the middle of a standoff. They’re actually standing outside the motel we’ve see Emma’s character drive in front of, which makes me think this will be a huge location within the story. While these actors are all-business during filming, I’m genuinely wondering if they’ve talked about The Tortured Poets Department considering they’ve both been a huge part of Taylor Swift’s life. I HAVE to know which TTPD song Emma has on repeat. (For me, it's "The Alchemy.")

Even though the movie is set in modern America, it definitely seems Kinds of Kindness will have Yorgos Lanthimos' signature wacky and unconventional approach to storytelling. It's kind of like Americana meets magical realism, which, alongside Beyoncé's country album, definitely makes me think media in 2024 will feel like going back to our roots. Watch the Kinds of Kindness teaser trailer here!

When is the Kinds of Kindness release date?

Image via Searchlight Pictures

Kinds of Kindness will be released on June 21, 2024. There's nothing like seeing a new movie in theaters, and this one will be the kind of experience that requires a big screen!

Who's in the Kinds of Kindness cast?

Image via Searchlight Pictures

In addition to Emma Stone, the Kinds of Kindness cast includes Willem Dafoe, Jesse Plemons, Margaret Qualley, Hong Chau, Joe Alwyn, Mamoudou Athie, and Hunter Schafer. Talk about an incredible group of stars!

We just saw Willem Dafoe and Margaret Qualley star alongside Emma Stone in Poor Things, as well as Joe Alwyn share scenes with Emma in The Favourite, and I love that Kinds of Kindness is like a mini reunion.

When was Kinds of Kindness filmed?

Image via Searchlight Pictures

Kinds of Kindness filmed around New Orleans near the end of 2022. The bold colors and contemporary setting mean this is going to be the perfect summer movie. Even the autumnal environment is adding to the overall aesthetic of the movie! You know that time of year where everything is warm yet still has some of the brightness of summer?
