Mesh Ballet Flats Are Everywhere Right Now—Here’s How to Wear Them
Summer may be winding down, but mesh ballet flats aren’t going anywhere. What started as a niche designer trend has entered the mainstream. These days, the flats are becoming a classic shoe that can be worn with everything from tailored blazers to casual jeans and shirt.
What makes them popular is their lightweight design and ability to either break up a heavy look or make a casual outfit appear more polished. Part of the appeal is in the design itself, mesh ballet flats don’t rely on heavy details. Their silhouette is relatively simple, which makes them easier to style.
One of the brands linked to the rise of the trend is the London-based accessories label Jane France, which specializes in Italian mesh footwear. Speaking about the mesh shoes, she explained that “true style comes from an ease of wear” adding that the mesh flats “create a fluidity which is both subtly sensual and unexpected.”
With fall just around the corner, styling them requires a few seasonal updates.

Combining a maxi dress and mesh ballet flats is an easy way to transition the shoe into fall. The two pieces complement each other because they both have a lightweight feel. While the flowy silhouette of a maxi dress keeps the outfit relaxed, the mesh flats add to the same airy quality. You can add a jacket to make it suitable for the cooler weather.

If you want to dress up for dinner or a night out, pair your flats with a silk or satin slip skirt. Mixing different textures, like smooth satin and breathable mesh, adds visual interest to an outfit without needing bright colors or busy patterns. Add a chunky knit sweater over the skirt during transitional weather.

Instead of pairing them with your regular sneakers, switching to mesh ballet flats for a more refined feel. If you want something more structured, add an oversized menswear-inspired blazer.

Capri pants, which have been making a comeback this year, also work well with mesh flats. Pair them with a knit sweater or tank top to create a balanced outfit.

A mini dress is another option. Whether it’s a simple black dress or something with more structure, mesh flats add a softer finish.

Kendall Jenner Closes Out Bottega Veneta Show
Kendall Jenner was the final model on the runway at Bottega Veneta’s Spring/Summer 2027 show in Milan on September 26, wearing an all-black look. Sitting in the front row was actor Jacob Elordi, the Bottega Veneta ambassador and Jenner’s boyfriend, who watched as she made her way down the runway.
Jenner wore a floor-length black gown with an asymmetrical, draped construction. The dress gathered at the bodice and hips, with a long panel falling down one side and a pronounced shoulder adding volume to the look. She paired the dress with black open-toe heels and wore her hair straight and centre-parted.

Her appearance marked a return to the Bottega Veneta runway. Jenner first walked for the Italian house in 2016, making her latest appearance there a decade after her first show for the brand.
The runway moment also came at the end of Louise Trotter’s latest collection for Bottega Veneta. For Spring/Summer 2027, Trotter looked at the transition between seasons, exploring the point between heavier winter dressing and the lighter clothes associated with spring and summer.
That idea played out through the clothes and materials. The collection opened with outerwear featuring padded shoulders and knotted hems, followed by looks in lilac, butter yellow, red and floral prints. Later, handmade lace, openwork crochet and large-scale intrecciato brought lighter textures into the collection, while leather remained an important part of the lineup.
Bottega Veneta’s signature intrecciato weave also appeared in different forms, including leather scarves wrapped around the waist, woven boots and large bags. Trotter also expanded the use of raffia and leather for oversized tote shapes, adding a softer, more summery feel to the house’s familiar craftsmanship.
The show attracted a notable front row, with Elordi seated alongside Solange and Tyler, the Creator. Julianne Moore was also among the guests in attendance. Elordi has represented Bottega Veneta as a brand ambassador since 2024.

Elordi’s attention was particularly noticeable when Jenner appeared on the runway. Footage from the show showed the actor using a film camera to photograph her as she walked past. His interest in photography is well documented, and he has been seen with a collection of vintage film cameras and regularly photographs friends and behind-the-scenes moments.
Jenner and Elordi were first linked in April 2026 after being seen together around Coachella. The pair have since been spotted together in Hawaii, Los Angeles, Australia and London. The pair had been getting to know each other privately before their relationship became public.
This time, however, the two found themselves at the centre of attention from opposite sides of the Bottega Veneta runway, with Jenner closing the show and Elordi watching from the front row.

Teyana Taylor Stars in Calvin Klein Bra Campaign
Teyana Taylor fronts Calvin Klein’s new Perfectly Fit Custom Lift campaign, starring in the brand’s Fall 2026 underwear campaign for its latest bra. She has now joined the list of stars who have previously appeared in campaigns for the brand, including Kate Moss, Dakota Johnson and Kendall Jenner.
Directed by Gordon von Steiner, the campaign video includes a full-out choreography set to Tina Turner’s “The Best.” It begins in an empty conference room as a chair slides out from a table, Taylor removes her bathrobe to reveal the brand’s latest collection. She dances on and around a chair in a Flashdance-inspired routine, wearing Calvin Klein underwear with white ankle socks and penny loafers.

The Perfectly Fit collection comes in three different silhouettes: the Perfectly Fit Custom Lift Demi Bra, Wirefree Triangle Bra and Lace Push Up Bra. The bras feature personalized shaping and natural-looking lift, with the padding adjusts according to bra size. Smaller sizes get more lift, while larger sizes use less padding for a more proportional level of support.

Speaking about the collection, Taylor said she needs something that can keep up with her whether she is on a red carpet, performing, running around with her kids or simply at home. She said the bra gives her the lift and support she wants while still allowing her to move and feel comfortable.
For Taylor, the campaign was a personal milestone. In an interview with ELLE, she spoke about always wanting to be part of a Calvin Klein campaign, especially after growing up and seeing the brand’s iconic advertisements. She recalled being inspired by Kate Moss’s Calvin Klein campaigns and also cited Sarah Pidgeon’s portrayal of Carolyn Bessette Kennedy in ‘Love Story’ as a fashion reference.

The actress also mentioned that during the shoot, she had to climb a 20-foot incline while dancing and moving in the Calvins. She said she would take little breaks during filming to process the fact that the moment she had dreamed about was actually happening.
Jonathan Bottomley, Calvin Klein’s chief marketing officer, spoke about the campaign, saying “The strongest campaigns start with the strongest product. With Perfectly Fit Custom Lift, we took one of our signature bras and made it even better through thoughtful innovation. Teyana was the perfect partner to tell that story: she brings an authenticity and creative energy that feels uniquely her, while naturally embodying the confidence and sensuality that have always defined Calvin Klein. The campaign builds on our visual identity while keeping our iconic product at the center.”

Donatella Versace Launches New Brand With Revolve Group
Donatella Versace is returning to the creative side of fashion with a new venture spanning fashion and beauty, developed in partnership with Los Angeles-based Revolve Group. Versace will serve as chief creative officer of the new venture.
The independent business will be built around Versace’s personal creative vision and is intended to connect with a younger generation through style, culture, entertainment and digital commerce.
The announcement comes more than a year after Versace stepped down as chief creative officer of the Versace fashion house in March 2025, a position she had held since the death of her brother, Gianni Versace, in 1997. She subsequently became the brand’s chief brand ambassador.

Versace’s departure from the creative role came during a broader repositioning of the fashion house under Capri Holdings.
Prada Group completed its acquisition of Versace in December 2025, bringing the fashion house under new ownership after a period of creative change. Dario Vitale had taken over from Versace as creative director, but left the role after one season, with Pieter Mulier later appointed as his successor.
Her latest project gives Versace a separate platform to develop her own creative direction across fashion and beauty. The new venture will also benefit from Revolve’s established digital platform and reach across international markets.
Founded by Michael Mente and Mike Karanikolas in 2003, Revolve Group has grown into a major online fashion and lifestyle retailer, with its Revolve platform focused on established brands and Fwrd dedicated to emerging labels. The company reported $1.23 billion in revenue in 2025.
Revolve has moved into beauty and other areas through partnerships with figures including Cardi B and Sofia Richie Grainge.
For the new venture, Revolve says its technology, infrastructure and global reach will support Versace’s creative direction. The project is intended to operate independently rather than as an extension of the existing Versace fashion house.
At 71, Versace remains a highly recognisable figure in fashion and popular culture. With more than 12 million followers on Instagram, Versace remains a familiar face to younger fashion audiences, who continue to engage with her signature style and extensive archive.
Her influence has also extended into contemporary celebrity fashion. Zendaya recently wore a 2016 Atelier Versace design during the Spider-Man: Brand New Day press tour, while Miley Cyrus and Jennifer Lopez have both revisited archival Versace looks for major public appearances.
Lopez’s connection to the house goes even further back, the green Versace dress she wore to the 2000 Grammy Awards became one of the most recognisable red-carpet looks in fashion history and is widely associated with the development of Google Image Search.
The new brand will initially target markets across the United States, Latin America, Asia-Pacific and the Middle East. Its name has not yet been revealed.

The first products are expected to arrive in 2027, with the project set to extend beyond traditional fashion collections into entertainment and other areas of culture.
For Versace, the partnership marks a new chapter in her career, bringing together her longstanding creative identity with Revolve’s digital capabilities and international platform.
