A few days after debuting a glittering custom Prada gown on the Emmys red carpet, Zendaya dug into the Italian brand's archives for a much more casual occasion: stopping by an L.A. art gallery. She traded gorgeous sequins for badass leather boots, opting for a vintage pair from Prada's F/W 1999 collection. She styled the iconic shoes with a Prada skirt from last year and a Ferragamo Cutout Tote Bag from 2023.

You know who else owns the exact pair of '90s Prada boots? FKA Twigs, who wore them on stage at the Miami and Chicago stops of her Body High tour. Nearly three decades later, moto boots are cooler than ever. Their boots even have ridges and padding inspired by durable, functional motorcycle jackets. Biker boots were also all over the fall 2026 runways, so expect to see them everywhere in just a few short weeks. In the meantime, see how Zendaya styled the trend in Los Angeles yesterday.
