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.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
