Gigi, Selena, and Bella Are Bringing Back the Shoes We Wanted in High School

by Anna LaPlaca

When I was in middle and high school in the late 2000s, on the list of things I wanted—no, desperately needed—included a Juicy Couture tracksuit, Longchamp tote bag, and the latest Ugg boots. Does anyone else remember how certain accessories could make or break your entire outfit when you were in school? For me, a pair of pristine suede-and-shearling-lined Uggs was the ultimate goal and I know I'm not alone here since they've pretty much maintained their popularity.

Now, years later, they still hold a nostalgic place in my heart but they have gotten a lot chicer. Uggs have, dare I say it, made a comeback, and celebs like Gigi and Bella Hadid, Sofia Richie, Selena Gomez, and others are leading the charge for their cool new look. While the short boots you know and love won't ever go away, the brand has been adding several fresh styles to its offering in the form of fluffy slides in statement-making colors like neon yellow and baby pink. Naturally, the celebs wearing them make them look very current.

Scroll down to see how Bella, Gigi, Sofia, and more are wearing Uggs now, and then shop the trending shoes.

Gigi Hadid's easy and comfortable outfit has me thinking that bike shorts and Ugg slides are a match made in off-duty wardrobe heaven. She paired hers with an oversize T-shirt, belt bag, and loads of trendy jewelry to make this cozy outfit undeniably cool.

While her sister went the athleisure route, Bella opted for a double-denim look that's more in step with her typical jean outfits. She wore an open denim shirt over a pink cardigan that matched perfectly to the hue of her fuzzy Ugg slides. True to form, Bella finished off the look with '90s-inspired accessories.

Sofia Richie is also a fan of Bella's fuzzy slides. She went for a pair in slate gray and wore them with an athletic bodysuit (a trend we predicted would eclipse leggings) and the It bag from BY FAR that everyone wants to get their hands on right now.
