Reminder: Anna Wintour Wore Pink Leggings and Ballet Flats in 1993
Ready for the #TBT to end all #TBTs? Lucky for us, Anna Wintour's style is the gift that keeps on giving. We've already given you a look at how she's worn jeans over the years—hint: sparingly yet stylishly—but denim isn't the only surprising item she's been photographed in. Back in 1993, the Vogue editor in chief attended a benefit for the Pediatric AIDS Foundation wearing the perfect casual look that's a far cry from her typical boardroom-ready midi dresses.
Wintour was the epitome of '90s chic in an oversize graphic sweatshirt, pink leggings—with lace trim, no less—and coordinating pastel ballet flats. How cute does she look? You'd be hard-pressed to find her in leggings post-'90s, so you might want to savor this epic sartorial moment. Scroll down to see the stylish throwback look and shop the 2018 version of the trend.
