Nina Dobrev Debuts Tan Leather Booties at Miu Miu’s Fall 2026 Paris Show
Actress Nina Dobrev made a stylish return to Miu Miu’s front row during Paris Fashion Week, showcasing the brand’s latest footwear offering at their fall 2026 ready-to-wear presentation on Tuesday. The star opted for the designer’s new Foule leather booties in a warm tan shade, marking a departure from her previous bold boot choices with the Italian fashion house.
The mid-calf height booties featured smooth light-tan leather construction with a relaxed, slouchy silhouette that gently gathered at the top. Distinguished by their rounded, blunt toe design rather than a sharp point, the boots displayed darker burnishing details across the front and edges, creating an authentically weathered appearance. This styling approach evoked the aesthetic of engineer or work boots while maintaining an elevated sophistication without heavy metal accents.
Dobrev’s complete ensemble embodied Miu Miu’s signature preppy-meets-edgy aesthetic, featuring a coordinated brown cropped zip jacket and wrap miniskirt layered over a burgundy V-neck sweater and crisp white shirt with a distinctive perforated Peter Pan collar. The wrap skirt’s design revealed glimpses of white undergarment at the waistline and featured tie details at both sides. She completed the look with Miu Miu’s Vivant leather handbag in cognac, perfectly harmonizing with her footwear choice.
This appearance demonstrated a clear evolution in Dobrev’s relationship with the brand’s footwear offerings. During Miu Miu’s spring 2026 presentation last October, she had chosen chocolate-brown distressed combat boots paired with another layered uniform-inspired outfit. Her December appearance at the Red Sea International Film Festival saw her pivot to glamorous crystal-embellished Aquazzura pumps with a Lanvin gown. Tuesday’s Foule booties represented a middle ground between these extremes, maintaining an earthy, grounded sensibility while appearing more refined than her previous combat boot selection.
The footwear choice aligned perfectly with Miu Miu’s current design philosophy, which emphasizes practical, workwear-inspired elements. Set against the preppy layers of Dobrev’s outfit, the Foule booties introduced the brand’s edgier vocabulary to a star-studded front row that included musicians Tyla, model Barbara Palvin, actress Joey King, and Daisy Edgar-Jones.
