3 fall 2025 shoe trends you can already wear
Courtesy of Bally, Rabanne, Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein and Victoria Beckham The line-up of fall/winter 2025 shoe trends reads like a wish list of wardrobe classics. A fresh batch of fashion trainers had the front row craning their necks at the runway shows, including styles presented by Miuccia Prada, who has become a master purveyor of excellent off-duty footwear. Together with Raf Simons, Ms. Prada complemented paper bag-waistband skirts with leather trainers, complete with intentionally-distressed details like scuffs and raw edges. At Miu Miu, meanwhile, the final product was quite the opposite: smooth leather trainers, realised in retro silhouettes, with intricately-stitched accents and buckles. In today's comfort-driven age, these Miu Mius could fall into the 'smart shoe' category, but for those with a penchant for more trad takes, an array of lace-ups also featured on the runways—Victoria Beckham, Rabanne and McQueen were but a few brands that demonstrated easy-to-achieve polish. Willing to embrace a heel? Knife-edged styles courtesy of Saint Laurent, gathered satin pumps at Dries Van Noten and pointed takes at Tom Ford will satiate a stiletto appetite. Here, Vogue highlights a hat-trick of standout fall/winter 2025 shoe trends—and where to shop them, now—updated as retailer deliveries drop. Courtesy of Bally, Rabanne, Alexander McQueen, Calvin Klein and Victoria Beckham 1 / 21 Derbies and brogues Even the simplest of outfits can benefit from a great shoe: a T-shirt and jeans pairing, for example, is immediately elevated with the addition of a high-shine derby or brogue. The fall/winter 2025 runways presented an abundance of options, plus a healthy bank of styling inspiration to make getting dressed in the morning that little bit easier.

While sportswear behemoths will no doubt contribute a plethora of viral styles to the sneaker sphere in the coming months, fashion types will be fawning over Miu Miu's buckled trainers, Prada's distressed styles, Simone Rocha's ribboned laces, and Stella McCartney's retro pairs.

When it's given special treatment by a top-tier designer, of course, by way of extravagant bows, frilled flourishes, satin wraps or heels that could (metaphorically) splice a diamond. Saint Laurent, Dries Van Noten, Ferragamo, Tom Ford, and Prada (naturally) delivered on all fronts. Courtesy of Khaite 16 / 21 Khaite Celia pumps, $2,047 Available at Khaite.

'I started out in Taiwan': Stefanie Sun makes emotional concert return
Singapore pop diva Stefanie Sun made an emotional return to the Taiwan stage on Aug 16. It was where she made her debut 25 years ago and a place filled with memories for her. Her two sold-out concerts at Kaohsiung Arena were part of her Aut Nihilo tour, her first headline gigs on the island in 11 years. On the first night, the 47-year-old made several references to her time in Taiwan, tearing up twice as she walked down memory lane. As she started on the opening lines of The Moment, she suddenly stopped to wipe away her tears and let the fans take over the singing for a while. The song was from her 2003 compilation album of the same name. It was released shortly before she made the difficult decision to take a one-year break from the music industry, even as she was enjoying immense success. Sun was overcome with emotion once more in a segment where she acknowledged some of her old industry partners who had been with her at the start of her career. "I started out in Taiwan. Many of my old colleagues and friends who share these deep connections with me are here today," she said onstage, choking back tears. "I've never said this before. Thank you for walking this journey with me, I miss those days dearly." Here are some other highlights from a show that evoked strong feelings of nostalgia, both for her and her fans. 1. Reason for Kaohsiung venue Many fans had hoped that Sun would mark her Taiwan comeback by performing in the capital Taipei, where she used to be based. But as The Straits Times previously reported, the Taipei Arena venue has been in such high demand that her team's bid for a spot was unsuccessful. Still, Sun made the most of her debut in Kaohsiung Arena, and spoke of how the southern Taiwanese city was also of personal significance. "It's here that I won the Golden Melody Award for Best Newcomer, and the Golden Melody Award for Best Female Singer," she said. "We met many times back then, although now we may be a little older." 2. Taiwanese celeb friends Some of Sun's Taiwanese celebrity friends showed up - in voice messages, at least. Pop star Jolin Tsai and singer-songwriter Wu Ching-feng shared fond memories of their long-time friendships with Sun in audio recordings. "In my eyes, Stefanie Sun is someone who dares to be herself and is very straightforward," Tsai said. She added that she often spent time with Sun in Singapore when she flew to the Lion City for her own recording sessions. "Her smile is so powerful and instantly draws anyone in. I find her very approachable." Wu let on that Sun, on top of being kind and genuine, has a surprising "hip-hop soul" in her. "One time when I was singing karaoke with Stefanie Sun, a hip-hop song suddenly came on. I was still wondering who had requested it when she suddenly started rapping wildly," he said. 3. Bonus KTV song Like Sun's comeback shows held earlier in Singapore, the Kaohsiung concert featured a mock karaoke session where audience members were given the chance to request two songs from a list. However, Sun decided to sing a third track as a bonus. The same song - Sculpted Eyebrow - was requested twice earlier but had failed to be picked as it did not get the loudest cheers from the crowd. "This is a gift for you," she said, before leading the audience on a mass sing-along of the song. The gift was well appreciated.
