Nina Dobrev Switches Up Her Miu Miu Boot Formula With Tan Foule Booties in Paris

After arriving in distressed lace-ups at the brand’s last Paris show, she returned to the fall 2026 presentation in a taller, looser silhouette with an aged finish.

Nina Dobrev returned to Miu Miu in boots once again on Tuesday in Paris, swapping the distressed combat pair she wore to the house’s spring 2026 show for Miu Miu’s light-tan Foule leather booties at the label’s fall 2026 ready-to-wear presentation during Paris Fashion Week.

Her heeled boots reached to mid-calf in smooth light-tan leather with a loose, slouchy shaft that collapsed slightly at the top. The toe came rounded and blunt rather than pointed, with darker burnishing across the front and along the edges that gave the leather a worn, lived-in finish. The effect landed closer to an engineer or work boot than a riding boot, but without heavy hardware.

Dobrev paired them with another full Miu Miu look built around the house’s preppy uniform codes, wearing a matching brown cropped zip jacket and wrap miniskirt over a maroon V-neck knit and a white blouse with a perforated Peter Pan collar. The skirt revealed a strip of white underlayer at the waist and tied off at both hips. She carried Miu Miu’s Vivant leather bag in cognac, complementing the hue of her boots.

The boots also gave her latest Miu Miu appearance a clear throughline. At the brand’s spring 2026 show last October, Dobrev wore cocoa-brown distressed combat boots with another layered Miu Miu uniform look. Her Red Sea International Film Festival appearance in December went in the opposite direction, with crystal Aquazzura Passions pumps and a Lanvin gown. Tuesday’s Foule booties landed between those two poles: still grounded, still boot-first, but less severe than the earlier combat pair.

They also fit neatly into Miu Miu’s broader interest in practical, workwear-coded footwear. Against the preppy layers of Dobrev’s outfit, the Foule booties brought in the tougher side of the brand’s current vocabulary at a front row that included Tyla, Barbara Palvin, Joey King and Daisy Edgar-Jones.
