The gladiator sandal: A favorite among Selena Gomez, Rita Ora and Kourtney Kardashian

Selena Gomez gladiator sandals

Released in 2008, the gladiator sandal made major waves as a summer wardrobe staple. Every summer the gladiator trend re-emergences, more intricate and beautiful than before. Revamped into a bold and edgy shape for the summer of 2013, the knee-high caged sandals are a perfect statement to top off any outfit. Available from Annabella-Rose, these gorgeous sandals boast a glossy faux-snake texture and peek-a-boo gems for a hint of shine at the heel.  As if you weren’t already sold, these game-changers are an absolute must at only £49.99 instead of their original price of £89.99.

Hollywood sweetheart, Selena Gomez, exudes daytime style in her casual cool getup of shorts and a cutoff tee paired with her knee-high glads. The young starlet also totes a Venti Starbucks drink, which we, here at Your Coffee Break, think makes an excellent accessory. Selena, looking like a California-girl vision, showcases how an amazing pair of shoes really can transform any outfit.

If a more polished look is what you’re going for, take notes from the glamorous new Aunt, Kourtney Kardashian. Known for her bohemian luxe flair, Kourtney stepped out caged-to-the-knee in true Kardashian fashion; dressed to the nines in an on-trend silk blouse, high-waist skirt, and classic aviator sunnies. Her look screams quintessential chic and can easily be taken from day to night with her fabulous footwear.

Rita Ora gladiator sandals

Showing just how versatile the tall gladiator sandals can be, Rita Ora rocks the trend in full-on evening attire. At the DKNY Artworks Launch in London, the singer and bestie to Cara Delevigne, paired her gladiator sandals with DKNY Resort 2014. These three bombshells definitely have three very distinct styles, but they owned their looks and made the trend work with their signature styles and personalities.
