Fresh off an official announcement that Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce wore custom Dior by Jonathan Anderson haute couture looks for their wedding in New York City on Saturday, the designer presented his fall 2026 haute couture collection in Paris on Monday to kick off the latest fashion week.
For his second haute couture lineup at Dior following his spring 2026 show, Anderson and his design director of shoes Nina Christen continued the elevated and whimsical footwear narrative they’re creating together at the longstanding French house. Lifelike florals, statement embellishments and unique shapes remain key to their shoe lineup.

Some pumps in the show took embellishment to the next level, adding beads, charms, feathers and the like to create a maximalist landscape across the upper; this aesthetic was seen among some garments as well. While one version of this dynamic pump style was light blue with a rainbow of embellishment, there was also an all-black counterpoint.

Florals are often incorporated into Anderson and Christen’s shoe designs. 3D florals specifically, a rising trend in fashion with Dior at the helm, are very important to them. In Monday’s show, there were blush-colored pumps adorned with intricate peach-hued blooms and green leaves, and a black pair with delicate white flowers, to name two examples.

The nature theme was seen in other styles, too. In alignment with the palm fronds decorating the runway setting and some clothing pieces featured in the show, several models wore pointed-toe pumps and minimalist sandals with a lustrous leafy print on them. The pumps featured pointed toes — other pumps in the show had a square toe — while the sandals showcased a slightly upturned square toe.

The show also included square-toe metallic pumps in silver and copper colors. These styles stood out with a statement embellishment on the vamp which continued the metallic aesthetic with an intricate, abstract design resembling a winged insect, like a butterfly. The high-shine upper featured a foil-like texture to it as well.

In the Dior fall 2026 ready-to-wear show, which was presented in March, shoe highlights included lily pad heels with pink and yellow flowers in addition to several other floral heels. There were also brown moto boots with gold detailing and black and white polka dot pumps.
