Olivia Palermo has a flair for completely integrating the polished and the practical, blending couture with Zara. For her latest appearance at Paris haute couture fashion week, the fashionista showed us how to wear an expensive ensemble without high heels.

The American socialite styled a deeply plunging white mini-dress with a strong scarlet heart motif and finished the appearance with the bow embellished flat shoes in black and white. The white coat she threw over her shoulders is in the same theme with an embroidered red hand holding a heart plastered on the chest. Olivia Palermo completed the look with a crocodile print mini clutch bag.

The same flat shoes made appearance last week when the style star dressed up for a celebration in New York City, wearing a ruffled pink mini dress with a pink structured bag and same pointed flat loafers with bow detailing. Color coordinated high heels are usually picked for the dress code of party time like this. Palermo’s style with comfortable flat shoes made an enjoyable pain-free upgrade. It also lends some casual chic to the party dress to look effortless cool.
