Fans of the humble ballet flat rejoice because Dua Lipa has publicly coined the beloved footwear aesthetic for SS25; however, they’ve had a slight style switch-up.
For the sunny season ahead, the It-Brit and award-winning singer is championing the sporty version of the much adored silhouette, and her particular favourites are only £70.
Sharing a selection of stylish snaps (suprise, surprise) to her Instagram account on Tuesday night, Dua gave fans a look into her workout wardrobe, styling a matching white leggings, sports bra and zip-up jacket with a pair of silver Puma ‘Speedcat Ballet Metallic Shoes.’

The cute and comfy ballet flat/trainer hybrid first dropped last month on February 25th and has since been selling quicker than quick. Included in the colourway options are a dusty pink and a classic black and white.

Like all good trends, the aesthic went back into hiding for a few years, making their way back into the wardrobes of those most stylish last April with the launch of Marc Jacobs collaboration withKiko Kostadinov and Asics.
Now, Puma is making it their mission to champion the game, with help from their Global Ambassador Dua.
According to the brands online market place, the silhouette is “selling fast” so we suggest if you’re looking to get your hands on a pair for the upcoming season, you procrastinate your never ending list of jobs and put buying a pair right at the top.
You’re welcome.
