Every person who works in fashion knows that the season's breakthrough trends often start in celebrity inner circles. Between their up-to-date wardrobes and their the tendency to be photographed (and for those photographs to quickly circulate), it's this stylish group that holds the power to catapult a trend into the mainstream.
With access to fresh from the runway collections, I always look to this stylish crowd for shopping inspiration—and they never disappoint. However, as we move towards the autumn, I've been keen to assess the trainer trends that are standing out for celebrities right now and I've spotted several new and old styles are sneaking in to their rotations. We all know that celebrities heavily rely on trainers in their downtime just like we all do, and with access to some of the most exclusive styles out there, they always set the bar when it comes to cult sneakers.
As expected, the A-list are already setting the tone for the rest of the year's biggest trainer trends. Read on to discover the trainer styles that celebrities can't get enough of right now.
THE TRAINER STYLES CELEBRITIES ARE WEARING NOW
1. CHECKERBOARD VANS
Style Notes: Every fashion person I know has owned a pair of these trainers at some point in their life. Consistently comfortable and enduringly versatile, the retro skate shoes are set for a revival this summer. Cropping up in Gigi Hadid's wardrobe several times this season, the classic trainers remain so easy to style. On this occasion Hadid paired them with colourful jeans, but I also spotted the model styling them with a pretty slip dress just last week.

2. FENTY X PUMA AVANTI
Style Notes: Having worked together since 2014, the Fenty X Puma pairing is a longstanding fashion favourite, and Rihanna's recent outing teases their latest drop. Building on their Avanti trainers range, the vivid red shade is set for release in autumn and is destined to sell swiftly from then.

3. CONVERSE HIGH TOPS
Style Notes: Having followed Alexa Chung's style journey for longer than I can remember, I was pleasantly surprised to see her come back to a forgotten trainer trend that used to dominate her wardrobe. Styling high top Converse, the presenter asserted that the crowd-pleasing trainers will be a wardrobe mainstay for 2024.
