Ready or not, it’s awards season—the time of year when keeping up with the red carpet is a full-time job. And well, it’s basically my full-time job, so I’m here to report on a theme I’ve noticed already this year. Just one month into 2025, I’m already quite sure that the number one red carpet shoe trend is satin shoes, which is also one of the prettiest shoe trends of the coming season. The glowy, soft look of a satin shoe looks stunning in photos, but without taking away from the rest of the outfit, so it makes sense that celebrities have wholeheartedly embraced the trend. And it doesn’t hurt that practically every shoe brand is churning out satin styles.
I’ve done my due diligence and compiled some 2025 celeb sightings of satin shoes, on the likes of A-list It girls such as Zendaya and Ariana Grande. I have a hunch that there will be many more satin shoes on the red carpet in the near future, as awards season isn’t anywhere near over yet. Keep scrolling to see some of my favorite recent red carpet (and runway!) examples and shop the prettiest satin shoes on the market.
