Pick Of The Week: Gucci resort 2026 Pantolette

The pantolette heels from the Gucci Cruise 2026 collection offer a striking study in contrast. A slim kitten stiletto and open toe recall the pared-back sensuality of the 1990s, while the feathered, archive-inflected upper introduces a note of excess. In their contrast between discipline and decadence, they mirror the collection’s wider intent: to reactivate Gucci’s past with a sense of immediacy and controlled drama. Executed in a muted, mineral palette, the embellishment feels archival rather than decorative. Much like the collection itself, staged between archive and piazza, the heels balance polish with provocation.
