Margaret Qualley and Kristen Stewart Ditch Red-Carpet Shoes
Red-carpet dressing usually comes with a strict accessory requirement: shoes. But every so often, a celebrity decides the outfit has made its point and the footwear can stay backstage.
Page Six has assembled a retrospective of stars who appeared barefoot on the red carpet, with Margaret Qualley and Kristen Stewart among the names in the roundup. It is a small but reliably arresting fashion rebellion—especially in an environment built around immaculate styling, carefully placed hems and footwear chosen for maximum flash.
Going without shoes turns a familiar celebrity arrival into a visual question mark. Was the look planned from the beginning? Did comfort win? Or did the shoes simply lose a backstage argument? The appeal is partly practical and partly theatrical: a bare foot can make even an otherwise formal outfit feel unexpectedly candid.
The trend also proves that red-carpet glamour is not always about adding more. Sometimes the memorable choice is removing the one detail everyone expects to see. Whether the decision reads as relaxed, rebellious or mildly chaotic depends on the outfit—and, naturally, the celebrity wearing it.
For the full parade of famously footwear-free appearances, Page Six’s roundup offers a quick history of the red carpet’s most exposed styling choice.
Fiona Dourif Is Dating a Doctor Who Skipped The Pitt
Fiona Dourif has apparently found a boyfriend who understands the medical profession a little too well. According to Just Jared, the 44-year-old The Pitt star is dating a real-life doctor—one who initially avoided watching the hospital drama because it felt far too close to his day job.
Dourif plays Dr. Cassie McKay on the series, so the relationship comes with an unusually on-the-nose entertainment problem. For most couples, a partner’s television project means premieres, press tours and the occasional awkward cameo. Here, it apparently means asking whether anyone wants to spend their evening watching more emergencies, charting and professional panic.
The doctor eventually watched the show, per the report, but his first reaction is almost aggressively understandable. There are only so many hours in a day, and nobody wants their date night to resemble a particularly stressful shift.
Dourif has kept the romance relatively low-key in the details available here, with no partner name or elaborate relationship rollout attached to the report. Still, a screen actor dating someone from the exact world her show dramatizes is a neat little collision of fiction and reality—and his viewing boycott may be the most honest review The Pitt has received.
Dua Lipa’s 31st Birthday Gets the Photo-Gallery Treatment
Dua Lipa is 31, and TMZ chose a highly visual way to mark the occasion: a birthday gallery built around the pop star’s most attention-grabbing photographs.
The package keeps the focus on Lipa herself rather than a new romance, feud, or career revelation. It is a classic celebrity-birthday move—less breaking news than a glossy reminder of why she remains one of pop’s most camera-ready stars.
There is no larger scoop attached to the item in the supplied report. Instead, the appeal is pure birthday-window dressing: a famous face, a milestone age, and a curated set of images designed for fans who prefer their celebrity updates served with plenty of visual polish.
In other words, this is not a scandal file or a mystery to solve. It is Dua Lipa’s annual birthday spotlight, with TMZ supplying the snapshots and the internet supplying the inevitable double takes.
