Hands down the most glamorous of the all of Fashion Week Season, Paris Haute Couture Week exploded across the City of Light with celebrities, fashionistas and their seductive groupies lighting up every Paris street and historic venue. All looking (almost) as striking as the shows they dressed up to be seen at! (Do see our little collection of celebrities and their frocks!)

Schiaparelli kicked off events, laying the foundation for a week of unadulterated creativity, artistry and sheer fantasy.

Jonathan Anderson’s very first show for Christian Dior was a highly anticipated event, and one that set the tone for a week of the most wonderous, hand-crafted couture imaginable.

Day 2 saw legendary couture houses Chanel and Armani telling their stories through unrivalled imagination, wizard-like construction, hundreds and hundreds of hours of meticulous hand-stitching and nimble finger-work, bringing the already fabulous silks, satins and sequins to life on the runway.

Day 3 delivered a dose of hauntingly beautiful nostalgia when the House of Valentino paid tribute to their founder who passed away a few days prior to the show. It was a collection that properly got the chins wagging, and one that will no doubt go down in the fashion history books as simply epic.

Quirky Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf (who made ‘the bow’ famous a few decades ago now – and thankfully never stopped showcasing that festive accessory) pulled off a most memorable show with dramatic black silhouettes and, yes, that bow making a cameo appearance again.

All in all, the poetry, the romance, the magic and avant-garde nature of the shows made for a week that allowed the average mortal to drool, to dream, to be inspired and to escape to a world of blissful fantasy.

Long live fabulous couture, long live the folks who take their time to create it… and of course, a huge thumbs up to those who wear these beautiful works of art.

VALENTINO

Creative director Alessandro Michele pulled off a show that left the chins wagging well after the shows. Legendary founder of the House of Valentino, Valentino Garavani, passed away only days before the shows, and as the fashion world mourns the loss of yet another stalwart, they were somewhat consoled by a collection that remembered the very best of Valentino’s offerings over the decades.

To say it was a glamorous affair would not begin to do justice to a collection that was so over the top it will no doubt go down in fashion history. This while ‘voyeurs’ took a sneaky look though tiny windows at the runway.

Elizabethan collars and cuffs, oversized bows, headpieces that will make any epic 50s Hollywood film pale in comparison…. It was simply a spectacle to behold, with one piece outdoing the next in ‘wow’-factor.

Think Elizabeth Taylor in the epic film Cleopatra, with an infinite wardrobe of frocks, capes and accessories to choose from, and you’ll have nailed the essence of the offering.

There was simply no end to the enchanting array of cloaks, feather trims, fringing, sequins and other deliciously outrageous extravagances.

And above all, the haute couture essence of the collection didn’t go unnoticed: one could only imagine the hundreds of hours that went into creating these OTT theatrical pieces: the endless hand beading, the stitching on of infinite boa feathers and the weeks and months of hand-embroidery, to present us with this unbeatable otherworldly feat.

SCHIAPARELLI

Watch Schiaparelli’s Show here: 

That creative director Daniel Roseberry was inspired by the ceiling Michelangelo’s Sistine Chapel as well as the film Alien, was evident throughout a collection that posed the difficult question, what do we do when our world erupts into chaos – as it seems to have done already?

Advertisement

The collection was an eternal juxtaposition between the beautiful and the scary.

Rather than showcasing the ‘tame’ flower kingdom – a conventional subject for inspiration when it comes to haute couture – Roseberry turned instead to fauna, the animal kingdom, with its beauty and cruelty, its culture of being either predator or prey, hunter or hunted.

Scary alligator and venomous scorpion tails, the feathered wings of birds of prey, ominous-looking beaks and horns were incorporated into tailored jackets and dresses, to jaw-dropping effect.

Fish (a poisonous blowfish to be exact) inspired an organza suit that exploded into oversized shoulder spikes, and exaggerated bird beaks decorated (if that’s the term!) the front and back of jackets. A black jacket ended in a huge curled scorpion tail while a crocodile spine formed the front of a black ballgown.

Advertisement

If food for thought in today’s topsy-turvy world was the intention of this collection, Roseberry certainly succeeded. Beauty mixed with fear and anger is indeed a recipe that’s unforgettable! Hence silhouettes were uber-shapely, body-hugging (or rather, body-squeezing) and sharp.

Roseberry explained his philosophy for the collection by quoting philosopher David Whyte, “Anger is the deepest form of compassion, for another, for the world, for the self, for a life, for the body, for a family, and for all our ideals, possibly about to be hurt.”

Looking past the collection’s philosophy, the actual nitty gritty of the craftsmanship was awe-inspiring. As for man/woman hours, allegedly it took in access of 8000 hours to sew – by hand of course – 65000 raw silk electric blue feathers onto a floor-sweeping gown. And that’s just one of the pieces!

Everything came up roses for Jonathan Anderson in his debut creative directorship for the House of Christian Dior. In fact, the collection was blooming marvelous! (It must’ve been quite something to have one of your ultimate fashion heroes, John Galliano, sitting front row, too.) A star-studded crowd that included Brigitte Macron, Jeff Bezos and Lauren Sanchez, was in attendance.

The show kicked off one hour late, with a set of sexy pleated dresses that paid tribute to a Kenyan-born artist, Magdalene Odundo – as soon as Rihanna, who was (very) fashionably late, arrived!

The collection was classic Dior, but a delightfully modernized version thereof: silhouettes were fluid and light – utterly wearable, and lo and behold, not a typical Dior corset in sight!

Transparent vests were juxtaposed with voluminous urn-shaped draped skirts (reminding one a little of Donna Karan’s 1990s silhouette), soft exaggerated bows decorated waistlines, bell-shaped skirts looked super elegant and silvery metallics were both fluid and structured at the same time.

Advertisement

The most striking accessories were the oversized floral earrings and elegant clutch bags.

Pops of colour – the likes of a tangerine shawl and lime green scarf – transformed the soft, pastel-based frocks. Loafers were made from antique cloth – sheer perfection!

This is a collection that achieves what few couture offerings can: it’s fresh, super elegant and avant-garde, but can quite easily be dressed down. What more can one ask for?

It was impossible not to notice the giant, colourful toadstools that filled the runway at Matthieu Blazy’s first couture show for Chanel. An enchanted garden was created to host this first offering.

This set the tone for a show that, in many respects, required the Chanel woman to go right back to the roots of the brand, and pay tribute to Coco Chanel who championed freedom, emancipation and who famously said, “before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off.”

The designer played with that idea throughout the collection, stripping pieces to barely there, light and breezy garments. In fact, in some pieces the fabric was cut away so that skin and underwear were clearly visible, emphasizing the flimsiness of not just the garments, but to be philosophical, perhaps also our very existence?

Advertisement

The theme of birds, and flight, also surfaced throughout, and some pieces were covered in feathers, others boasted printed feather motifs. Some pieces were raven black, others depicted the strong red, purple, chocolate brown and charcoal plumage. Peacock feathers and the dull grey shades of the humble pigeon were to be seen in many pieces.

There wasn’t a typical Chanel’ tweed or boucle, or even Carl Lagerfeldt’ signature accessory, the camellia, to be seen. And yet… it was unmistakably Chanel – from the soft and nude pastels and black, to the many plain and printed chiffon pieces. A quilted handbag perhaps vaguely reminded one of ‘old’ Chanel.

In a collection that evidently wanted to emphasise the psychedelic and the idea of a flight into escapism, Blazy certainly managed to kill two birds with one stone – excuse the pun!

VIKTOR & ROLF

Watch Viktor & Rolf’s Show here: 

The idea of lightness of being, also surfaced at Dutch duo Viktor & Rolf’s Spring/Summer presentations. This seems to have been a theme among designers this season – and how can we blame them for proposing some escapism if we look around us at what’s happening in our world?

Advertisement

Intrinsic to the mostly black collection that Viktor & Rolf presented, was the idea of flight.

In fact, one of the garments depicted a kite, with its connotations of lightness, freedom and the idea of being at the mercy of the elements.

And of course they also championed the idea of ‘general upliftment’ of one’s spirits, which can so easily be achieved by the mere addition of a spot of colour in the shape of a bow, a peplum, a ruffled neck piece, a row of colourful buttons or a decorative sleeve.

A simple addition can indeed transform a simple black outfit into something joyous.

Advertisement

It seems Viktor and Rolf gave us the option to ‘be normal’ and wear the basics, or be somewhat adventurous by layering and adding a touch of magic. The choice is yours!

I love this minimal ballet flat from Reiss. While not quite in toe cleavage territory, the vamp is very low, which really works here I think.

The shoes come in tan and black at Nordstrom, and Reiss.com has them in tan and a brown suede (also lovely).

Where we used to do nude flats, I tend to think this medium tan brown is the more modern iteration, whatever your skin tone is. Lovely.

The shoes are $298, available in US sizes 5-10.

For daytime plans—meeting friends for brunch, walking through town, or lingering over an afternoon coffee—the easiest way to approach getting dressed is to start with one piece that gives the outfit character. A jacket with embroidery or embellishment, a textured bag, a sculptural blouse, or a printed top instantly brightens an otherwise simple look.

Around it, familiar daytime staples help create balance. Relaxed trousers, tailored denim, wrap skirts, pleated shorts, tees, and crisp shirts provide the foundation. The result feels styled, but still natural for everyday plans.

Color and texture bring the edit together. Shades of cream, beige, navy, chocolate, and soft neutrals ground the wardrobe, while details like tassels, fringe, embroidery, and subtle prints introduce personality. Accessories like structured bags, refined flats or sandals, and classic sunglasses that finish the outfit with ease.

The result is a daytime outfit that feels thoughtful and refined, anchored by one piece that gives the entire look polish and interest.

Who Wore It Better Angela Simmons Vs DreamDoll In A Yankees Hat Corset Top By Haus Of Debonair Designz Final 22

Angela Simmons recently teased her new single with Jadakiss and Ruff Ryders wearing a Yankees hat corset top by Haus of Debonair Designz that was previously seen on DreamDoll in the music video for “You Know My Body.”

Inspired by Duality Junkie, the inventive design transforms two upside-down fitted New York Yankees caps into sculptural bra cups, blending sportswear references with corsetry.

DreamDoll first wore the top in her music video, styled by Demi Dorsey with distressed jeans and Manolo Blahnik boots. The styling leaned into a streetwear aesthetic, pairing the novelty piece with relaxed denim and tall boots.

Comfortable Heels for Wide Feet (2026 Update)

Finding stylish heels in wide widths can be surprisingly difficult — many brands either stop at standard sizing, or only offer wide options in a select few styles. Fortunately, more brands are expanding their size ranges, and several reader-favorite labels consistently offer comfortable wide-width work shoes. Readers, which are your favorite comfortable heels for wide feet?

Reader N was wondering this exact question:

Advertisement

I always have trouble finding a pair of comfortable but fashionable shoes, for two reasons – 1) I have wide feet and can only buy wide sized shoes, of which there is limited selection, and 2) I also have flat feet/collapsed arches. Could you suggest some brands that have nice shoes in wide sizes (especially ones that are available in Canada?) and which are also comfortable and affordable? And any other tips on shoe inserts, perhaps? Thanks!

We’ve talked about how to find shoes for your weird feet, as well as the best general shoe brands (and tips) for buying comfortable heels and the most extremely comfortable business casual shoes, but we haven’t talked about professional shoes for wide feet for a few years now. (I would recommend treating flat feet/wide feet as two different issues, but your podiatrist can advise you best there — we’ve talked before about insoles and other shoe-related products to make heels more comfortable.)

N.B. This post was originally published in 2014, but updated in 2026 by founder Kat Griffin with new brands and reader recommendations.

Why You Should Trust Us

At Corporette, we’ve been covering professional women’s workwear — including comfortable heels, office-appropriate flats, and shoes for difficult fit issues — since 2008. Over the years we’ve published hundreds of posts about work shoes, from deep dives on comfortable pumps to reader-favorite brands for wardrobe essentials.

Our community of professional women (many working in law, finance, consulting, government, and other demanding fields) frequently shares feedback on shoes that actually work for long days on your feet — especially for hard-to-fit categories like wide widths. (Corporette was founded by a former lawyer looking for stylish yet practical workwear for demanding professional environments.)

How We Picked The Best Heels for Wide Feet

For this guide, we focused on reader-favorite brands known to offer reliable wide or extra-wide sizing, with a range of styles appropriate for both conservative offices and business-casual workplaces. We also included a few specialty and indie brands that have developed strong reputations for wide-foot comfort.

Brands were selected based on:

Advertisement
  • consistent availablility of wide or extra-wide sizes
  • reader recommendations and discussions over the years
  • office-appropriate styles suitable for professional settings
  • current availability at major retailers

The Best Wide Toe Box Heels

If you have narrow ankles but a wide toe box, it can be tricky to find shoes to fit. (This happens to be Kat’s problem; readers have also called this issue “duck feet.”) Some favorite brands to watch for include Vionic, Cole Haan, Vivaia, Eileen Fisher, Ally, and Calla. Also check out our roundup of strappy heels!

Readers have generally sung the praises of these brands as being comfortable heels; they also come in wide sizes — a lot of these have great arch support built in:

Of course, for 2026 you don’t have to wear heels to be considered “professional” (if you ever did). Many of our favorite heel brands have great flats as well!

Our daily workwear reports suggest one piece of work-appropriate attire in a range of prices.

J.Crew has a great blazer selection this season, but this Easter-egg-hued linen number really caught my eye. The scallop trim is fun without being too cutesy, and while the color might not be everyone’s cup of tea, I think it would look lovely paired with a light gray or navy trouser. (And if you really can’t stomach pastels, it also comes in black.)

The blazer is $278 at J.Crew and comes in sizes XXXS-3X.
