While in New Orleans to cheer on Travis Kelce during Super Bowl LIX, Taylor Swift stepped out on Feb. 8 for a dinner date with him — sporting Simkhai’s Joy Guipure Lace Mini Dress and a stunningly elegant pair of boots. These were the Eleanor Booties from Larroudé, an editor-loved line honored as Brand of the Year at the 2024 Footwear News Achievement Awards. While the booties are only available for pre-order, Larroudé has just dropped a ton of styles you can shop now, including color-happy Mary Janes, mules, pumps, and ballet flats meant to upgrade your spring wardrobe this year.
The Eleanor Booties — which feature a 1.6-inch platform, sturdy block heel, glossy black colorway, and laces for an overall punk-adjacent look — weren’t the first pair of Larroudé shoes that Taylor Swift has worn.
Watch on FN
On Dec. 10, 2023, for instance, she stepped out in Larroudé’s Kate Hi Boot in black leather for the Chiefs vs. Bills game, which perfectly complemented her signature red lip, mini skirt, and oversized Chiefs sweatshirt. Interestingly enough, just a few days before this, Swift’s close friend Selena Gomez walked the streets of New York in the exact same boot but swathed in ivory. Good style, clearly, is contagious.
Larroudé was founded in 2020 by Marina Larroudé (who’s a Swiftie through and through, if you were curious) and her husband Ricardo: believers in the fact that “fashion is here to bring that sparkle and fantasy to our daily lives.” That being said, their brand’s shoe styles are innovative and fun-loving to the max, while being kind to the planet. The tanneries that Larroudé works with are Leather Working Group–certified, based on their sustainable measures, and brand packaging is made of 100-percent recyclable material. Average consumers and celebrities alike have taken notice of and promptly fallen in love with Larroudé, which — besides Swift and Gomez — considers Alicia Keys, Kate Hudson, Vanessa Hudgens, Camila Cabello, and more stars as part of its fan club.
Larroudé’s spring collection for 2025 is the ideal way to get a taste of this cult-favorite brand while freshening up your shoe rotation as you crawl out of hibernation. It’s chock-full of transitional styles like the Georgina Pump, which was first designed with fall in mind and is now reimagined for spring with a startling scarlet color, gold hardware, and cutesy ankle strap; the angular Franca Pump, benefitting from a raffia materiality that was one of spring 2025’s hottest runway trends; the Lee Ruffle Flat in denim, paying homage to Milan’s spring 2025 dominating shoe trend of flats with quirky twists; and beyond.
Perhaps one of the most prominent launches from Larroudé revolves around three new, neutrals-powered colorways of the iconic Larroudé x Altuzarra Pump, worn over the years by Heidi Klum, Lindsay Lohan, Demi Moore, and no shortage of other A-Listers. As of Feb. 8, it’s now offered in Navy Patent Leather, Titanium Patent Leather, and Tan Patent Leather, which are bound to reflect and match your wardrobe’s shift to lighter-and-brighter shades come spring. The pumps are sexy as can be, have a chic pointed toe, grant elevation via a 4.1-inch stiletto heel, and boast the brand’s memory foam cushion that prevents foot strain regardless of the heel height.
Need additional excuses to go on a Larroudé shopping spree ahead of the seasonal change? The brand dropped even more bold styles beyond the ones we’ve already mentioned. These include the eggplant-hued Verona Ballet Flat, outfitted in a soft-and-supple suede; the leopard-printed Venice Flat Mule, promising to never go out of style considering the perennial popularity of animal prints; and the Milan Fur Clog in Mushroom Grey Suede, which will give your feet the warmth required to endure those last dregs of winter while also gearing up for spring.
Take it from Taylor Swift and invest in a pair of Larroudé shoes today (or two, or even three!) — ensuring you stay on top of footwear trends without sacrificing comfort and versatility.
