Plus: Imelda Staunton on filming during the Queen’s death
| | A problem is brewing for fashionistas out there: delicate, dainty shoes are back. But who wants to climb the Acropolis this summer in ballet flats?
The good news, as our fashion editor Tamara Abraham writes, is that style and practicality are no longer mutually exclusive. Take the fisherman sandal. The shoe makes for a nice middle ground: it’s supportive and currently à la mode in Paris, which is always a good sign. Abraham’s number one tip? Don’t forget to consider which dresses and skirts you wear most in hot weather: you can match your shoes from there.
Elsewhere, turn to our interview with certified national treasure Imelda Staunton. Newly a dame, she’s starred in everything from Harry Potter to Vera Drake and now is giving her lungs to Hello Dolly! on the West End stage. She tells Mick Brown about her cringeworthy arrival at the Oscars (“I had ham in my teeth”) – and the “inconsolable” moment she found out about the late Queen’s death, while on set for The Crown.
