The actor steps out in Jude's leather wedge sandals twice in two days, pairing them with everything from evening dresses to casual denim.
After a summer of open-toe everything, the return of closed footwear can feel like a loss. Yet Dakota Johnson appears to have identified a middle ground that carries her from August heat into autumn's chill.
Photographed yesterday during New York Fashion Week, Johnson wore Jude's leather Yaga wedge sandals—an elevated take on the flip-flop that adds height while keeping toes exposed. She paired them with a long black dress from Toteme and Valentino's Preta Envelope Rockstud bag.
The actor has built a reputation for repeating beloved pieces, most notably Phoebe Philo's gathered flats, which she has worn on numerous occasions. She applied the same philosophy to these wedge sandals, stepping out in them the previous evening with jeans and a bodysuit.
This back-to-back appearance suggests the wedge flip-flop may serve as a versatile transitional piece—dressy enough for evening events yet casual enough for daytime, and offering what might be a final opportunity to show off summer pedicures before colder weather arrives.
