\t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \n\tAt the world premiere of \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2,\u201d<\/a> landing in theaters on May 1, director David Frankel joked that the movie had absolutely no marketing budget to speak of. Of course, the incessant headlines surrounding its press tour and the plethora of brand collaborations<\/a> we\u2019ve been privy to these past few months \u2014\u00a0from fringe skirts at Walmart<\/a> to Tweezerman nail files \u2014\u00a0paint a different picture. As for the latest initiate of the sexy, editorial-chic universe helmed by Miranda Priestly? It\u2019s Brazilian flip-flop giant Havaianas<\/a>, who\u2019s just announced an all-new, \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2\u2033\u2014themed shoe line for spring called the Puffed Family.<\/p>\n \n\tOperating under the slogan \u201cif it\u2019s not heels, it\u2019s\u00a0Havaianas<\/a>,\u201d the capsule encourages shoppers to kick off their Manolos and treat their feet to something even more statement-making (not to mention comfortable). It\u2019s comprised of four distinct flip-flops \u2014\u00a0the Havaianas\u00a0Puffed Up, Maxi Puffed, Over Puffed<\/a>, and Luna Puffed \u2014 all of which have something \u201cgroundbreaking\u201d to offer, as Priestly would say. Think puffed-up or else intertwining, serpent-like straps; height-happy, dual-layer outsoles; and the kinds of colorways that can transition you from \u201cclient meeting at Dior\u201d to \u201cfirst date\u201d in no time (I won\u2019t say more for fear of spoiling the plot of the iconic film\u2019s second installment).<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy Havaianas<\/p>\n \n\tClearly, these intentionally exaggerated silhouettes are nothing if not fashion<\/a>-forward \u2014\u00a0putting the thong sandal trend<\/a> that reigned supreme last summer back into the spotlight while giving you a carte blanche to be your most confident self, whether you\u2019re an assistant or the head of the entire features department (it happened: I might\u2019ve said too much).<\/p>\n \n\tWe\u2019re patiently waiting on the drop to arrive at havaianas.com<\/a>, but, for now, you can also find your new warm-weather shoe rack staples over at Shopbop: where the Havaianas x Devil Wears Prada Over Puffed Sandal<\/a> is selling in a red-hot shade that matches Andy Sachs\u2019 signature lipstick in the 2006 \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada.\u201d Additionally available at the womenswear retailer <\/a>is the co-branded Slim Square Flip Flop<\/a>, which has not been officially revealed by the circa-1962 destination but is equally worth your time: taking a model that has sold out at Havaianas every year like clockwork (Gigi Hadid even designed her own pair<\/a>) and dolling it up with instantly recognizable motifs such as pitchfork-equipped heels, glasses, and handbags<\/a> that every DWP fan will appreciate.<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\tHavaianas x Devil Wears Prada Slim Square Flip Flop\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tPrice upon publish date of this article:\u00a0$40\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t<\/a><\/p>\n \t\t\tHavaianas x Devil Wears Prada Over Puffed Sandal\t<\/p>\n \n\t\tPrice upon publish date of this article:\u00a0$60\t<\/p>\n \n\tApart from lacking a rounded toe, the Havaianas x Devil Wears Prada<\/a> Slim Square Flip Flop<\/a> reads more classic than its Over Puffed <\/a>counterpart, which boasts puffy, knotted straps and a chunky, two-tiered sole. Its similarly startling red hue avoids all traces of predictable florals \u2014 noted, Miranda \u2014\u00a0and instead is bold enough to contrast aptly with everything from your light-wash, baggy denim<\/a> to a peasant skirt outfitted in creamy white.<\/p>\n \t\t\t\t\t\t \t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tCourtesy Havaianas<\/p>\n \n\tTo promote this pivotal moment, Havaianas has been hosting activations across cities from Rio de Janeiro and S\u00e3o Paulo (the locations of its flagship stores) to Paris, Milan (figuring prominently in the second movie), and New York City. The collaboration took over billboards in Times Square<\/a>, for instance, and is generating quite the buzz online. Most notably, Havaianas made sure the flip-flops walked \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2\u201d NYC premiere\u2019s red carpet alongside Anne Hathaway and Meryl Streep: spotted on attendees like Brazilian fashion<\/a> influencers Malu Borges and Gabb, as well as style blogger Leandra Medine Cohen. <\/p>\n \n\tThese tastemakers successfully proved the versatility of the Havaianas x \u201cThe Devil Wears Prada 2\u201d collection \u2014\u00a0teaming up the fresh releases with faux-fur coats<\/a>, sharp-shouldered blazers, and billowing, sculptural gowns. Would the editor-in-chief of Runway ever approve of such mashups? Unlikely. But there\u2019s something thrilling about incurring her wrath: with traditionally laid-back footwear<\/a> this time around.<\/p>\n \t\tWhy Trust\u00a0Footwear\u00a0News\t<\/p>\n \n\tFor more than 75 years, Footwear News has been the shoe authority.
