Givenchy jelly gladiator, $165, available at Barneys New York, (212) 826-8900 or www.barneys.com.
From the strappy leather sandals at Dries Van Noten to the towering braided cage heels at Balenciaga, the gladiator is the must-have shoe for spring. Givenchy has a cheeky take on the Roman style in its baby pink jelly version, complete with a logo detail to keep the soft hue and throwback material from veering too far into elementary school territory. For those without a penchant for pastels, this pair also comes in black. Who knew jellies could be so fierce?
