Olivia Dean Spotlights Trendy Cap-Toe Heels

After being pushed aside for what feels like years now, pumps are finally back. Yes, you heard that right. The girls will be stomping around in high heels for fun once more in 2026. It’s not that ballet flats won’t be popular (they’re still everywhere) but just that no one is really vilifying shoes with a little lift like they used to.

If you need any further proof that heels are back in a big way, just look at pop music’s most stylish girls, like Olivia Dean. While she did win Best New Artist at this year’s Grammy Awards, she’s been winning best dressed on a handful of lists since she started to cross over into the mainstream. Dean has a signature look that’s elegant but still pushes the boundaries. She is always ahead of the curb, wearing emerging designers and under-the-radar trends before they make it big. And by the time they do, she’s already on to the next thing before it’s cool.

Naturally, she’s locked in on the high-heels trend and has been wearing pumps for some time now. Most recently though she was spotted after the Grammys wearing an LBD and a pair of white cap-toe heels with a statement heel. It’s a refreshing look and a reminder that a high heel doesn’t have to be stuffy. If anything, it’s the perfect thing to pump up a simple dress. And best of all, Dean’s look is incredibly easy to re-create, which is exactly what we’ll be doing this weekend (and every weekend after).
