Travel expert raises shoe etiquette debate at Louvre
As Nicole Campoy Jackson, a travel expert noted, although the Louvre Museum does not directly state that one needs to wear shoes, there is an assumption that one would wear shoes. In response, she notes that since the museum is a public place, few visitors can be seen going around with their bare feet. Jackson regards this behavior as mandatory in most public interiors, including the Louvre, to keep shoes on as a sign of reverence to the place.
In the movie, Jackson was very keen on showing how various important places such as the Louvre should be respected as they are historical and artistic landmarks. While there are no regulations that Kendall Jenner has violated by going barefoot for the shoot, one could state that by doing so, she did not demonstrate this respect.
