  "account": "Margaret Qualley's barefoot sandals have sparked reactions, with some netizens expressing strong opinions. Last night, the actress made her red carpet debut at the London premiere of her upcoming film The Dog Stars, wearing a classic black fringed Chanel gown with cap sleeves and a plunging neckline. However, her feet were bare, as she slipped into tiny black Chanel sandals that left her toes exposed. The non-shoe trend, which began with Ashley and Mary-Kate Olsen's The Row label, has since made its mark in the fashion world. Martin Margiela's tabi design and Balenciaga's Zero sandal are notable mentions. Jennifer Lawrence was also spotted in The Row's nude ballet flats in 2023. Despite the fashion forwardness of the trend, some critics are hesitant to embrace the barefoot style.",
