About this product
The Alaïa Leather Ballerina with Rhinestone Strap is a flat from the house’s 25A collection — a rounded-toe leather ballerina covered entirely in rhinestones, with a leather strap and metal buckle closure. The all-over rhinestone application gives the shoe a surface that reads as maximalist in coverage but precise in execution, consistent with Alaïa’s approach to embellishment across the collection. Rubber sole. Made in Italy.

Why We Love It
The rhinestone ballerina is one of the most recognisable silhouettes from Alaïa’s recent collections — the flat format makes the all-over embellishment wearable in a way that a heeled rhinestone shoe isn’t, and the leather strap adds a structural detail that grounds the look. The noir colourway is the most versatile: the black base allows the rhinestones to read as texture and light rather than colour, which means the shoe works across a wider range of looks than a coloured rhinestone flat would.
Style Notes
Wear with a simple evening dress or tailored trousers and let the rhinestone surface lead. The flat silhouette makes them genuinely comfortable for a full evening, which is worth noting for occasions where a heeled alternative would be impractical. The leather strap and buckle add a utilitarian detail that balances the embellishment. Size in EU; ships from Europe.
