Jennifer Lawrence just wore the sandal trend that's bound to be summer's 'it' shoe

I've been on the hunt for the perfect sandals. My summer schedule is packed with destination weddings, birthday parties, family visits, concerts and weekends exploring locally in NYC — and I need a shoe that can keep up. I'm looking for something with a small heel that works with maxi dresses and wide-leg pants, that can be dressed up or down and that comes in a neutral shade to match just about everything I own. Is that too much to ask?

During this grand search, I kept running into one recurring style: toe ring sandals. You know, the kind with a loop around the big toe. So I had to wonder: Are these shoes currently in style? Well, Jennifer Lawrence just gave me my answer. The Oscar-winning actress and street-style maven was recently spotted in Manhattan wearing a pair herself just this month.

OK, so yes, toe ring sandals are on the rise to become summer 2025's "it" shoe trend. You can find them on celebs, and they're made by popular brands like Anthropologie, J.Crew, Madewell, Tory Burch, Reformation, Steve Madden, Old Navy, Target and more. Seriously, they're everywhere. The search term "toe ring sandals" has skyrocketed on Google over the last three months and is currently at peak popularity.
