Blake Lively Loves This Hassle-Free Travel Hack — Why Celebs Are Wearing Mule Shoes at Airports
Either as a flat or with a small heel, mules are everywhere this season. Defined by its backless, slip-on form, the mule is convenient and versatile. Mules were the shoe of choice for both Blake Lively and Jessica Alba while traveling; both stars were seen stepping out of airports in the style this week.
Lively opted for a sleek yet playful Gucci Princetown mule with appliqués, which she paired with simple jeans in Toronto Pearson International airport.
Electing for a more modern appeal, Alba wore a studded mule by Jenni Kayne. Teamed with a patterned Ganni Ryder kimono, the shoe brought a simple touch to the look.
The mule is an ideal shoe for travel because its slip-on nature makes it hassle free, while its traditional upper adds a fashionable flair. Most mules appear as conventional styles of shoes whose backs have been removed, creating a unique appeal. The style has already been done in a variety of ways, making it quite easy to jump on this trend.
