Mary-Kate Olsen Wore Velcro Sneakers To A Gala, Because Of Course

Trend alert?

Mary-Kate Olsen attended a Sotheby’s party and auction with her husband, Olivier Sarkozy, on Wednesday night. The designer stepped out in a long, black coat with lace trim and minimal makeup. But we haven’t mentioned the most important detail ...

She paired it all with white, Velcro Alexander McQueen sneakers that retail for $529.

The “Larry” platform leather sneakers have about a two-inch heel and come with three hook-and-loop fastens.

The shoes say “Alexander McQueen” on the shoe, just in case people mistake your sneakers for “regular” Velcro shoes that just anyone would wear:
