Kanye West declares bedazzled flip-flops back in fashion

Kanye West is swapping his Yeezys for something sparklier.

The Yeezy designer attended the Burberry fashion show in London on Monday, pairing his all-leather look with some surprising footwear: bedazzled flip-flops and black socks.

“The studded flip flops go unnecessarily hard,” one fan tweeted, while another called the shoe choice “kind of a serve.”

West’s blinged-out thongs were shown on models during Burberry’s show, as were high-heeled versions his ex Kim Kardashian would surely flip for.

While the 45-year-old rapper is “Famous” for his unique taste in footwear, having pushed styles ranging from Crocs-style foam clogs to oversized Red Wing work boots in the past, he typically sticks to pairs he’s designed himself.

But this wasn’t just any Burberry show; the British house was originally supposed to unveil its spring 2023 collection during London Fashion Week earlier this month, but postponed the presentation in light of the passing of Queen Elizabeth II, who died on Sept. 8.

Creative director Riccardo Tisci, a longtime friend and collaborator of West’s, honored the late Queen by pausing the music for a moment of silence before the end of the show, per Fashionista.

West referenced Her Majesty on social media for a second time on Sunday, sharing his sympathies for the people of England because he “lost [his] Queen too” — referring to Kardashian, 41.

We’re told he was seen dining with pals at swanky London hotspot, Hakkasan Mayfair, later that night.

It seems West prioritized the Burberry presentation over supporting Kardashian’s Dolce & Gabbana collaboration in person; Khloé Kardashian, Kim Kardashian and Kris Jenner all sat front row at Milan Fashion Week for Kim’s major moment Saturday, as did North, Chicago and Saint West.

However, ahead of his trip to London, the Grammy winner did post a photo of an all-silver archival Dolce look his ex wore in Italy ahead of her big show.

While at Burberry, West posed with Naomi Campbell, Erykah Badu and Bella Hadid — and even hugged ex-girlfriend Irina Shayk, a longtime Burberry muse.

Other celebrities in attendance included Normani, Lori Harvey, Chloe Bailey, Camilla Morrone and Simone Ashley.
