Gladiator Games

With Hunger Games on the brain—you’re rocking a side braid right now too, admit it!—we are extra keen on any apparel and accessory pieces that will channel our inner tough girl. Exhibit A: Christian Louboutin’s Rose Du Desert Flat Sandals. Though more Roman than Panem-chic, we can totally see Katniss rocking these fierce flats.

From the esteemed designer’s capsule collection for spring, which celebrates 20 years of iconic shoes, these strappy leather soles epitomize gladiator style. Featuring twelve rows of buckles hued in a rich tobacco shade—also available in black—they will one-up any other flats your feet may come in contact with. Contemplating the perfect Coachella outfit? We suggest teaming Christian Louboutin’s sandals—or a similar pair—with a tie-dye tank, denim shorts and a bucket bag, and the odds that you’ll look stylish will be ever in your favor!

Availability: Christian Louboutin Rose Du Desert Flat Sandals ($2795). For additional information, visit Us.christianlouboutin.com.
