Hailey Bieber is making this heel height a priority in 2026

If you’re feeling the irritation in a cat’s heel, it’s quite understandable, and you’re undoubtedly not alone. Kitten heels have been dominating the high-heel landscape for years at this point. As a kitten heel wearer, I understand this. They are beautiful and relatively easy to walk in. But we’re human, and we get bored. Accordingly, the next obvious heel style to make a comeback is ultra-high stiletto heels, and the pair Hailey Bieber wore is quite indicative of this change.

You may remember that last year, Bieber rarely left out his Go-Go Totem kitten-heel flip-flops. This year, Bieber has stuck to heeled flip-flops, but the heels have gone much higher. Bieber’s The Row stiletto-heeled thong sandals give her outfit a more equipped, glamorous look than their kitten-heel counterparts, which is evident when you take a look at her outfit for a dinner outing in Beverly Hills last night, which included a knee-length LBD and the aforementioned stiletto heels. And she’s not alone – I’ve seen high stiletto heels on countless girls recently, especially as shoes judasSaint Laurent, Jimmy Choo, and of course, The Row, to name a few favorites.
