Kim Kardashian West just brought one of the most controversial shoe trends from 2019 — and the early 2000s — to 2020.
The multihyphenate star visited "Good Morning America" in New York City on Wednesday, and arrived wearing a yellow high-neck top and neon skirt with metallic heeled flip flops.
The trendy shoes were designed by Bottega Veneta, and retail for $840.
According to a representative for Kardashian West, her top was also designed by Bottega Veneta. Her skirt, on the other hand, is said to be a vintage design from Roberto Cavalli.
This isn't the first time Kardashian West has worn heeled flip flops. She previously donned a chunky version of the shoes for an Instagram picture she posted in June 2019.
Other celebrities have since taken Kardashian West's lead. Emily Ratajkowski, for example, wore a colorful pair of heeled flip flops two days later.
By October 2019, Rihanna had paired a white pair of the shoes with a strapless dress for a look seemingly inspired by the early aughts.
Heeled flip flops first became popular in the early 2000s, when stars like Christina Aguilera and Tara Reid donned the shoes. Some stars chose sandals with small kitten heels, while others opted for shoes with a much higher platform.
Today, designers like Jefferey Campbell and Yeezy sell versions of the footwear.
