Rosé kept her footwear understated in Milan on Friday, continuing a summer run of flip-flop silhouettes. The Blackpink singer stepped out in a low-profile white pair with slim, rounded straps and a flat black sole, lightly molded to the foot. The thong shape sat close to the ground, free of logos or hardware, giving the sandals a stripped-back feel that’s become a throughline in her off-duty looks this season.

The sandals were styled with black rosette-trimmed mini shorts and a fitted black top, layered under a cropped brown jacket in a matte suede finish. She carried a quilted black Saint Laurent shoulder bag with the brand’s gold monogram hardware, wrapped in a printed scarf, and finished the look with narrow black sunglasses.

This marks the second time in recent weeks Rosé has stepped out in flip-flops. At the end of July, she paired squared black thong sandals with loose denim and a lace-trim camisole while out in New York. Both pairs share the same minimal build: molded sole, unbranded straps and an emphasis on function over embellishment.

The flip-flop’s current rise in celebrity wardrobes has been years in the making. The Row’s 2021 leather thong sandals helped spark the high-fashion revival, which has since spread across price points and platforms. In 2025 alone, the silhouette has been reimagined everywhere from Dolce & Gabbana’s sold-out Havaianas collaboration to ERL’s exaggerated platform version. On the more minimal end, stars like Jonathan Bailey, Latto and Emily Ratajkowski have kept the style pared back with barely-there leather straps.

For Rosé, the choice slots neatly into an evolving summer shoe rotation that’s moved between performance sneakers and streamlined sandals. In July, she fronted Puma’s latest Speedcat sneaker campaign, wearing a blue and orange colorway of the low-profile racing silhouette. Days later, she swapped them for the black flip-flops in New York, and now for the white pair in Milan — all tied together by a preference for shoes that read light and unencumbered.
