Shailene Woodley Embraces Sculptural Footwear at Fendi’s Milan Fashion Week Show

Shailene Woodley attended Fendi’s spring 2026 show at Milan Fashion Week on Wednesday, wearing sandals from the fashion house’s Arco shoe line. The actress went for an all-black ensemble to sit front row at the show, pairing a satin sheer dress with the Fendi Arco sandals.

Woodley opted for the shoes in smooth, black leather. The wraparound peep-toe sandals are balanced atop a 95mm wedge heel and feature the contoured Arco motif. The shoes feature a gold-finish metal detail on the heel, which is decorated with an engraved Fendi logo.

The sandals are available in hagfish leather, which creates a paneled, striped effect due to dozens of eel skins being sewn together to form the shoe. The sandals are available in both pink and beige for $1,050, as well as ankle booties and a knee-high boot, which Teyana Taylor wore earlier this week. Those boots retail for $1,980.

Fendi introduced the Arco line, which consists of shoes with an arched and angled heel, for the fall 2025 season. Fendi then debuted the Arco sandals as part of its spring 2025 collection, making their first appearance during the Milan Fashion Week showcase in September 2024.

Woodley, who sat alongside Hilary Duff for the presentation, paired the sandals with a black midi dress that featured floral lace paneling around the midsection. The design featured spaghetti straps and a low-cut neckline. She paired the look with the Fendi Peekaboo Mini handbag, made from soft burgundy leather.

Naomi Watts, Ryan Destiny, Isabella Merced, Bang Chan and more stars also attended the show wearing designs and looks from the new collection. “Silvia Venturini Fendi paraded a colorful, crafty and occasionally kooky Fendi collection that mingled psychedelic florals, activewear details and the ’90s cool gathering steam in Milan,” WWD’s Miles Socha wrote about the show.
