While the sneakers, especially the matching pairs for kids, do not boast the usual obvious ties to the [Disney](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney) franchise, they instead opt for a sophisticated style that celebrates elements of the Baroque period. As many of the costumes and set designs take inspiration from era, the Skytop and Cubana styles boast luxurious velvet as a material and [ornate floral patterning](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/atmos-pink-and-adidas). As a result, women and children are able to wear modern footwear styles that take inspiration from the live-action film, without leaving them feeling as though they are wearing a costume from the live-action Beauty and the Beast world. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 2.1/10 - Popularity: 35% | Activity: 20% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen Z, Gen Alpha, Millennial, Gen X - Top markets: North America ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/fashion) > [Shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/shoes) ## Key Themes ### What Makes This Trend Stand Out - **Baroque-inspired Fashion:** Opportunity for designers to incorporate ornate and luxurious elements of the Baroque period into modern fashion. - **Sophisticated Disney Merchandise:** Opportunity for companies to create Disney merchandise that has a more refined and adult-friendly aesthetic. - **Velvet Footwear:** Opportunity to create footwear with the luxurious fabric of velvet for a high-end and fashionable look. ### Sectors Adopting This - **Fashion:** Baroque-inspired fashion can be incorporated into various clothing and accessory items to appeal to consumers who appreciate opulence and luxury. - **Merchandise:** Creating Disney merchandise that has a more sophisticated aesthetic can attract a wider audience, including adults who are fans of the franchise but prefer a more refined style. - **Footwear:** Using velvet as a material for footwear can create a high-end and luxurious look that appeals to consumers who value fashion and style in their footwear choices. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Thematic Ombre-Effect Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/wicked-hightop-sneakers.md) - [Whimsical Character-Inspired Statement Capsules](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/aldo-x-disney.md) - [Luxurious Spring-Ready Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/box-sneaker.md) - [Emerald Street Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/speedcat-elphaba.md) - [Cartoon Inspired Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/stan-smith-x-spongebob-squarepants.md) - [Crystal-Encrusted Stealthy Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/air-max-plus-moonlight.md) - [High-End Sneaker Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/viv-on-the-run.md) - [Subtly Luxurious Sneaker Styles](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/burberry-box-sneakers.md) - [Ultra-Cushioned Crystal-Covered Sneakers](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nike-vomero-plus.md)
