\n\tSarah Michelle Gellar pulled one of the \u201890s\u2019 most durable shoe silhouettes<\/a> back into view in New York on Monday night, pairing a short white dress and oversize black jacket with black patent platform penny loafer pumps. The silhouette nodded to a late-\u201990s formula that never fully disappeared: part prep staple, part oddball statement shoe, now back in rotation at full height.<\/p>\n

\n\tGellar wore a loafer pump that kept the upper close to the classic penny shape, with a strap across the vamp, apron stitching and a rounded square toe. The front sat on a thick platform, while a tall block heel gave the silhouette additional lift. The patent finish made the shoe read slicker and more dressed than a flat campus loafer. In one close-up, the top edge of the vamp on one shoe appeared slightly folded inward, but the rest of the shape came through clearly: glossy, chunky and squarely planted.<\/p>\n

\n\tShe styled the pair with sheer black tights, a white mini-length dress and a roomy black jacket cut long over the hips.<\/p>\n

\n\tThe timing made the reference land harder. Just days after the planned \u201cBuffy the Vampire Slayer\u201d revival was scrapped, Gellar walked out in a silhouette that read less red carpet polish than a wink at the late-\u201990s prep-meets-oddball dressing that once orbited Sunnydale, with a little Willow Rosenberg in the mix.<\/p>\n

\n\tBoth the penny loafer and the platform have been having a moment since the fall. traced chunky and heeled loafers back to the 1990s in a broader look at the decade\u2019s returning shoe trends, and the category kept resurfacing through 2025 in flatter and higher versions alike. Amanda Seyfried<\/a> wore her Miu Miu penny loafers repeatedly last fall, leaning into the silhouette\u2019s more classic side, while Taylor Swift<\/a> took the loafer idea in a taller direction with Gucci platform slingback pumps in SoHo.<\/p>\n

\n\tGellar has been working a platform streak of her own. In February, she wore towering gold Casadei sandals<\/a> to Netflix\u2019s \u201cStar Search\u201d finale in Los Angeles. While those shoes leaned overtly red carpet, her Monday night pair read more day-to-day.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Sarah Michelle Gellar pulled one of the \u201890s\u2019 most durable shoe silhouettes back into view in New York…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":166396,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[6],"tags":[18645,23676,68259,9,11,10,4426],"class_list":["post-166395","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-new-york","tag-celebrity-shoe-style","tag-footwear-news","tag-loafers","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-headlines","tag-new-york-news","tag-platforms"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166395","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=166395"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/166395\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/166396"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=166395"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=166395"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=166395"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
