Billie Eilish Combines Academiacore and Balletcore in Ballet Flats for SAG Awards 2024 Red Carpet

Billie Eilish continued her preppy style at the 2024 Screen Actors Guild Awards on Saturday in Los Angeles.

The singer opted for ballet flats to bring her look to completion. It’s no secret that this has become a crowd favorite. From popping patterns to varying textures, the balletcore trend has transcended environments, and thanks to the “What Was I Made For” singer, it made its way to the red carpet.

Eilish’s flat slip-on offered a round-toe design with a rubber sole. Without a doubt, it’s a multifaceted wardrobe essential that gives ballet shoes a modern twist by redefining their proportions.

Ballet flats have a long history dating back to the 18th century when they were worn by ballerinas. In the early 20th century, ballet flats became popular as everyday footwear for women, thanks in part to the iconic Coco Chanel. In the 1950s, ballet flats became a staple of the preppy style. Fast forward to the 1990s, they were revived by grunge rockers. In recent years, ballet flats have become increasingly popular, thanks in part to celebrities like Gigi Hadid, Hailey Bieber and Emma Stone.

Adorned in a pristine white dress shirt, her Vivienne Westwood ensemble was comprised of a sophisticated sweater vest and a sleek tie, exuding both elegance and authority. She teamed this with baggy pants to create a unique silhouette.
