Demi Moore Paired Polarizing Gladiator Sandals With Her Dog Pilaf

I’ve never seen more divisive sandal trends than I have this summer. From Katie Holmes-approved fisherman sandals to Jennifer Lawrence-worn mesh flats, celebrities are pushing the boundaries of footwear like never before. Demi Moore is the latest to offer a new divisive sandal for summer 2024. The actress attended the Dior Men Summer 2025 show in Paris, wearing a 2010s sandal revival: the gladiator sandal. 

Moore’s white, lug-sole version of the Grecian sandal put a 2024 twist on the trend, which she paired with a coordinating oversized blazer and Bermuda shorts set. Perhaps her most eye-catching accessory was her infamous pup Pilaf, not to be outdone by her mega-sized painted Dior bag. While Moore’s footwear of choice might not be a mainstream trend yet, it’s only a matter of time; the boho chic trend is triumphantly returning following Chloé’s Fall/Winter 2024 collection, and gladiator sandals add more fuel to the fire. 

Below, I gathered lookalike options to embrace Moore’s take on the polarizing sandal trend, plus other gladiator sandals for summer 2024. 

6 Demi Moore-Inspired Gladiator Sandals:

By Anthropologie Toe Loop Gladiator Sandals 

I wouldn’t be surprised if these Anthropologie platform gladiator sandals became the new summer ‘It’ shoe. The square-toe sandals feature a toe-loop detail and velcro ankle straps, making the shoes easy to wear. Marked down to $100 right now, they’ve garnered dozens of five-star reviews from Anthropologie shoppers. One said the style “makes a statement without sacrificing comfort.” Shop this cream option if you’re looking to pull inspiration straight from Moore, or opt for a black pair for an edgy take on the trend. 

Katliu Gladiator Sandal

These bright-white gladiator flats mimic the shade of Moore’s Dior sandals for just $30. These flats have two buckle ankle straps with five adjustable settings, but the back features a zipper to easily slip them on and off. One Amazon reviewer, who noted they could not wear flip-flops in the summer due to their arthritic knees, said these sandals kept their “feet secure” while remaining breezy and breathable. If white isn’t your vibe, don’t worry—these sandals come in 10 colors, including a studded black option and metallic silver. 

Seychelles Lilac Sandal

For another take on the gladiator style, I love these under-$100 wraparound sandals from Seychelles. Unlike the first two shoppable options, these gladiator flats can be tied criss-cross around your calf for an adjustable fit. Even if you aren’t heading on a Grecian Mamma Mia getaway this summer, the gold strappy design will certainly make you look the part. I recommend styling these sandals with a floral maxi dress or linen pants.
