Mules are a unique type of footwear characterized by an open back, lacking any form of strap or constraint at the heel. While typically known for their closed-toe design, mules can also come in an open-toe silhouette featuring a thick strap across the foot. The history of mules dates back to the 17th century, where they were originally popularized as bedroom slippers. However, it wasn’t until wealthy women of the French court adopted them that mules became a fashionable statement.
In the 1950s, mules experienced a resurgence in popularity. Stars like Marilyn Monroe embraced the style, particularly the newer open-toe mules. This led to a renewed interest in mules, which continued well into the 2010s.
The 2024 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show follows the annual show’s five year hiatus. The show will take place tonight Oct. 15 via the brand’s flagship store in New York. The show will air 7 p.m. ET on Amazon Prime Video and Amazon Live, as well as the brand’s YouTube, Instagram and TikTok pages. Tyra Banks will don her wings again alongside models Alessandra Ambrosio, Gigi Hadid, Barbara Palvin, Behati Prinsloo, Jasmine Tookes, Taylor Hill, Adriana Lima and a slew of others.
