Pretty sneakers have been trending for a while now, which started with the rise of ballet sneakers as well as satin and lace styles. Spotted on celebrities like Chloë Sevigny, Bella Hadid, Charli XCX, and Lola Tung, the trend was also recently highlighted by our Senior Fashion and Social Editor, Tara Gonzalez, in her roundup of fashion items that were trending in 2025 and will probably be even bigger in 2026.

Now, Jimmy Choo is adding its own take with its new Sunny F trainers. According to the brand’s website, "The Sunny trainer is a fresh take on a classic low-top silhouette. Crafted in custom floral lace and reinforced with soft leather panels, it is set on a rubber sole and compound footbed expertly engineered for comfort and lightness. Sunny offers streamlined support and cushioning beneath its slim profile. Each tongue is finished with an exterior Jimmy Choo label."

I’ve been wearing the same silver aviator frames for two years, and I’m growing fatigued of my signature look. I’m ready for something new, and have been on the hunt for a new pair of glasses that communicate “I’m stylish, and cool.” So far, I’ve narrowed my choices down and now I’m in between a rectangular, silver pair and a black, rounder frame.

For those of you who wear prescription glasses like me, picking a pair is no easy feat. There’s so much to consider when you’re also a fashion person. Your frames become part of your outfit, so you have to be mindful of what your wardrobe already consists of to ensure they blend in with your aesthetics. I love that glasses can change up your whole vibe, though. Once I got my aviator frames to replace my vibrant green backup pair, I looked a lot more elegant and quite reserved. I still think about the Miu Miu oval pair that went viral amongst fashion people.

Glasses have become such a fun accessory to implement into our wardrobes. I enjoy seeing others express themselves through interesting, optical frames. Which is why I decided to share the other 30 pairs of glasses that I’m considering with you. Keep scrolling through to find your new signature pair of stylish glasses.

Understated elegance is our summer style goal, and Mandy Moore has already aced the assignment. The singer and This Is Us star turned heads this week at the 2025 Peabody Awards at the Beverly Wilshire in Los Angeles. Moore paired a silky, backless Adam Lippes dress with a bold lip and contrasting accessories by Jimmy Choo.

With its creamy, neutral color and simple silhouette, the dress could easily be worn with anything, but Moore's teal shoes and matching bag set the look apart, making it a summer standout. A metallic sheen attracts attention, and crystal embellishments take the heels from eye-catching to elegant. Keep scrolling to shop Mandy Moore's exact Jimmy Choo shoes (they come in white too) and more teal- and aqua-adjacent shoes we love for the season. It's an easy but unexpected way to make a splash, no matter the occasion.

With access to the latest runway designs and a revolving door of new-season options, it's rare to see celebrities opt for the same item as one another over and over again. But, punctuating the ever-changing world of celebrity shoe trends, I've spotted a particular shoe land in the wardrobes of several of my favourite celebrities this season.

In the past few weeks alone, I've noticed Kaia Gerber, Sydney Sweeney and Selena Gomez have all worn Jimmy Choo's Drop Heel shoe, thus cementing its newfound cult status.

Styled by Kaia Gerber for a recent film premiere, the model selected a pair of the brand's Drop Heels in white shade with a pointed-toe finish, which she wore to complement her white body-con dress alongside a spattering of jewels.

Featuring a distinctive detail that sees the heel of the shoe finish in an elegant teardrop design, this Jimmy Choo balances a fluid energy with a sturdy and sculptural finish. An unexpected addition that feels striking yet refined, the heel felt perfectly at home in Gerber's red carpet look.

Wearing hers with a boxy blazer, sheer knee-high socks and leopard print micro shorts, Sweeney's evening outfit was unexpected and playful and steeped in new-season trends. Adding height and poise to her evening look, Sweeney's simple white pumps injected a timeless elegance that provided an interesting contrast to the seasonal trends seen throughout.

Debuting in winter 2023, Jimmy Choo's Drop Heel has had some time to sweep style crowds, and it's done so at pace. Now a signature offering from the brand, the range spans a selection of colours and designs—many of which have already made their way into celebrity rotations.

Wearing hers with an all-black look, Gomez paired her black pair of pumps with semi-sheer tights, an oversized blazer and an LBD in a way I could easily see myself emulating for party season.

Set to continue its reign as the season's It shoe, read on to shop the Jimmy Choo Drop Heel here, and find out edit of our other favourite Jimmy Choo heels below.

You'll be hard-pressed to find someone more excited about Anne Hathaway's new movie The Idea of You than me. The second I finished the book it was adapted from, I went back to page one and read it again. And if you have to watch one of your favorite books turn into a movie—something that far too often leads to disappointment—finding out that Hathaway's going to be the one leading the charge is a dream come true. She never misses—on or off the screen.

Proof of that arrived on Sunday when she showed up to a screening of the movie at the 92nd Street Y on the Upper East Side of Manhattan wearing a daring black leather three-piece suit from Ralph Lauren that featured controversial skinny-leg pants, a matching black tie, and a fitted waistcoat. As for shoes, she wore the most elegant, flower-embellished Jimmy Choo pumps that added just the right amount of elegance to her otherwise edgy ensemble. Thus far on this press tour, Hathaway and her stylist Erin Walsh have erred more on the feminine side with her outfits, opting for a mix of minidresses, feathers, and sequins, making this look's darker color palette, tailored fit, and bold fabrication stand out. As always, though, Walsh and Hathaway maintained a sense of balance in the look, mixing in a glamorous shoe that just so happens to fit perfectly with today's footwear trend of lavish floral touches (think Prada, Magda Butrym, and Loewe).

Below, check out Hathaway's head-to-toe leather look and shop the pretty shoe trend she paired with it.

As if her Saturday Night Live promo images weren't chic enough—with especially noteworthy inclusions being an Alessandra Rich catsuit made entirely of lace and a Khaite bodysuit styled with just tights and a giant feather coat—this week's host, Dakota Johnson, showed up to the after-party in the most perfect sheer, hand-beaded vintage Alaïa gown, like, ever. 

The dress, which was designed by the late founder of the house Azzedine Alaïa and included in his spring/summer 1996 collection, was sourced by Johnson's longtime stylist Kate Young from Vintage Grace, a New York City–based designer-vintage business founded by Chandler Guttersen in 2021. It features short sleeves and sequin embellishments throughout, making it completely sheer and perfect for the occasion. On top, the Madame Web actress wore a feather Saint Laurent jacket, adding simple black pumps and a Jimmy Choo handbag to finish off the look.

Prepare to say so long to your skinny jeans because Anne Hathaway's chic tapered cargo pants are about to take over. The actress was spotted in New York City wearing a bright-white Des Phemmes suit, complete with sparkly embellishments, Bulgari jewelry, and matching silver Jimmy Choo pumps. We've got to admit it's one of our favorite celeb looks of the season thus far. 

Cargo pants have made a comeback lately, but these aren't the same baggy styles from the early aughts. Hathaway's chic pants combine multiple pockets with a slim, tapered leg, allowing for a more flexible silhouette. Go big and blousy on top, or pair the pants with a cropped jacket or tank; it's all about playing with proportions until you get a look that's just right.

Ahead, shop 10 pairs of white cargo pants in an array of fits, materials, and price points. Keep it chic and simple, or bring on the bold sunglasses and bling. The accessorizing is totally up to you.

The day before Sabrina Carpenter’s "Feather” music video breaks the internet, the 24-year-old enters our Zoom call flush with apologies. She’s forgotten to redownload the app after deleting it to save on data (IYKYK), making her a few minutes late. "My phone has been out of storage for like all of eternity,” she declares. After settling into a spot on the floor between her coffee table and sofa—which is currently decorated with an Ariana Grande pillow, a keepsake from her stint as the artist’s opening act on the Dangerous Woman Tour back in 2017—she props her phone up, and we dive into a 90-minute conversation.

During this time, she’s refreshingly open about everything from the proven difficulties that come with growing up in the spotlight and what happens when the internet turns on you to how it feels to experience all of the emotional roller coasters that come with teenhood years later than your friends because you were simply too busy at 15 to join them. Her lyrics often live in the grey zone, leaving her fans to search for breadcrumbs alluding to their meaning or who they’re about, but her ultimate conclusions to my questions are surprisingly black-and-white. "This was the trajectory of my path,” she says. "I can’t change it now.”

Letting past regrets or grudges eat away at her doesn’t exactly fit into Carpenter’s busy schedule, which hasn’t eased up in more than a decade. When I ask the singer-songwriter and actress if she’s had a day off in 14 years, she laughs, saying, "You know, it sounds dramatic if I say no, but definitely not like a super day off.” For Carpenter, keeping her sights firmly set on her next move is precisely what’s gotten her to where she is today. "My brain works in ways where I’m like, ‘Oh, I want to do this. … It’s gonna take a long time … so I [have] to start now,’” she explains. "Even in those moments of free time, I feel like I’m always just visualising something in the future.” It’s this mindset that’s produced five studio albums, two Billboard Hot 100 hits, and three Platinum singles. "It’s a blessing and a curse,” she says. "I would love to be on a boat somewhere, though.”

Even with the heavy workload, nothing can take away the fact that Carpenter is living out her lifelong dreams. "There was never really a question. Music was always the thing as a child that made me feel like I understood more about life,” she says. As for convincing everyone to take her seriously, she attributes that to her conviction. "Not to be the person that brings up their astrology, but I’m a Taurus, and I think that might have something to do with the fact that I’ve always just been very driven. Some people like to call it stubborn. I like to say driven,” she explains.

Unlike other kids who woke up one morning wanting to be a pop star and a doctor or fashion designer or astronaut the next, Carpenter’s interests never varied. "I wouldn’t start things and not finish them. That wasn’t really my MO,” she says. "I ate, slept, [and] breathed singing and would be at the piano all day, or I’d be practicing or doing my warm-ups. Even if I had nothing to do with singing in the coming weeks or months, I would try doing it every day just to practice and get better.” All these years later, I get the impression that Carpenter is still this way—never quite satisfied. "The only way I’ll make it through this is if I never actually fully feel established because I’ll always just keep working,” she adds.

Carpenter was 12 when she first signed with Hollywood Records, a label under Disney Music Group. In addition to granting her the ability to record her own songs and perform them, it meant she’d be sent into boardrooms with men many times her senior telling her about her future. "That was probably the weirder thing that I had to experience from a really young age,” she says. 

Then there was social media, which nobody, Carpenter included, could have predicted would be such a requirement of the job when she started in 2009. Today, she sees it from two sides. "It’s heartwarming if you think about it in the way that it provides togetherness,” she says. "It’s scary if you think about it in the way that you’re like, ‘Oh, people think they know me from videos on the internet.’” For Carpenter, there are ups, and there are "down, down, down, downs” when it comes to social media and the role it plays in her career and personal life. That’s when she reminds herself just how fortunate she is. "I literally get to sing into a microphone. That’s my job,” she says. "It’s everything that I’ve always wanted. I’m really lucky that my childhood thing… I stuck with it, and, you know, we’re hand in hand through this.”

Writing her own songs also contributes to her calm and collected nature and her ability to move past any road bumps that have and will continue to arise as she navigates her life as Sabrina Carpenter: pop star. "I really feel like I disconnect and fall off the face of the Earth [when I’m making music],” she says. It’s through this process that she found her voice and fearless disposition. (She does admit to being "a sarcastic little snippy ass” since, well, forever, which is presumably why she’s never really been walked all over.)

It’s through music that Carpenter is able to turn off from the online world, where everyone has an opinion and heaps of time to share it. "Sometimes, I bang my head against a wall repeatedly,” she says of hate comments online. But at the same time, she can’t harp on them. She adds, "If someone says, ‘Oh, she’s ugly,’ what am I going to do with that? Okay, well, bummer. I have to just move on with my day, regardless of whether you think I’m ugly or not.” Sitting at her piano, no matter what the situation on hand may be, escape and resolution are only a few keys away. "It is so satisfying when you can take a negative situation in your life and turn it into a positive memory with a song,” she says.

As she’s gotten older, her music has evolved—getting more vulnerable and emotion driven. In 2021, the "Nonsense” singer left her longtime label to join Island Records, an organization that she says trusted her vision as an artist first and foremost. "I didn’t sit down with them and go, ‘This is the album that I’m making. It’s called EmaiIs I Can’t Send. It’s very blunt and very forward,’” she explains. "They didn’t know just as much as I was still figuring it out. But they had a lot of faith in what I was creating and let me experiment and create something really special.” 

Because of this freedom, Carpenter was able to speak her truths on the album without all the outside noise. "When you’re worried about [music] appealing to people and making sure that everyone likes it, I don’t know if you make anything that feels authentic,” she says. Putting out the album left Carpenter exposed. "[It is] borderline too personal,” she admits. But not once since its release in 2022, and subsequent deluxe edition that came out earlier this year, has she felt an ounce of regret. Being on the Emails I Can’t Send Tour and hearing the voices of her longtime fans singing along only reassured Carpenter that she’d made the right decision. 

Now, she’s performing those same songs in front of an even larger fan base: Swifties.

In June, Taylor Swift announced the first round of international shows for her record-breaking Eras Tour, revealing Carpenter as her opening act for the Mexico, Argentina, and Brazil dates. Carpenter will also return for Swift’s seven Australia and six Singapore shows. "I’m not gonna say I peed my pants because that sounds really graphic and maybe not sanitary, but I think it really just caught me off guard,” she says of hearing the news. "It was very much a childhood dream come true.” For her tour debut in Mexico City, Carpenter opened her performance with her first-ever YouTube upload, a video of her nine-year-old self singing Swift’s "Picture to Burn,” exhibiting just how long she’s looked up to the 12-time Grammy winner. "I still probably have not processed it if I’m being completely honest with you,” she says. 

The duo first met backstage at a show when Carpenter was 17 years old. "She had her cats with her,” she recalls. (Carpenter herself has two white British shorthairs at home, so their shared love of felines bonded them for life.) "I have older sisters, so if anything, it felt like that type of a relationship.” According to Carpenter, Swift’s support of her music has been significant, but perhaps more impactful has been the "All Too Well” singer’s championing of Carpenter as a human being. "To work with someone [who] cares about you as a person as well as an artist … that’s been the biggest gift for sure,” she says. Carpenter recently released a pared-down version of Swift’s 2012 track "I Knew You Were Trouble” on Spotify, with many on TikTok sharing how the cover made them completely reinterpret the song, a pop hit with deep lyrics. Carpenter chose to cover the track because of how similar the perspective is to "Feather,” the song Carpenter rereleased alongside "I Knew You Were Trouble.” Like her cover, "Feather” got the chilled-out treatment, making them a perfect match. Swift’s reaction to the cover was direct and to the point: "She nailed it.”

Despite her experience performing on the road, touring with Swift is a whole new ball game for Carpenter. "When you’re doing your own shows, you have this assurance [that the audience] is there for you,” she says. "They know the songs, they came to see you, and I feel very lucky in that sense that I’m like, ‘Whoa, I have this crowd of people that dedicated their Friday night to come sing these songs with me.’” On the Eras Tour, however, there’s a little more pressure for Carpenter to work the room. "I go into it with a little bit more excitement, being playful and just really singing and interacting with the crowd as much as I possibly can,” she says. "There’s so many of them—I can’t see them all.”

Her costumes, likewise, contribute to her energy onstage. "I want to feel as confident as humanly possible so I can be up there and not worry about what I’m doing,” she says. "It helps me perform better.” She ended up donning custom Swarovski-crystal minidresses by the Ukrainian brand Frolov, a favorite of Beyoncé for her own shows. She paired the dresses with her signature white go-go boots. "The go-go boots have been there for me in hard times,” she says. 

Fashion played a pivotal role in Emails I Can’t Send, more so than it did in any of her previous albums. "[The record], to me at least, feels like the first album cycle where I really felt like there was a style connection to the music,” she explains. "I haven’t always felt that way in the past because I was young and didn’t know who I was.” By getting to know herself better and finally gaining firsthand experience of the themes she’d long been singing about, everything just clicked. "This theme of hearts [is] sprinkled throughout the music and different visuals,” she says. "It made so much sense to me because [the album] was so deeply surrounded by this infatuation with love and the lack of love and [how it helped to shape] me into the person that I am right now.” Scrolling through her Instagram feed, the symbol is ubiquitous in her looks. "There have been a lot of little heart cutouts,” she says. "I’ve pretty much done it everywhere.”

Her style outside of the album has also seen a shift as she’s learned more about who she is. "The things I feel really confident in now, maybe five years ago I probably would have never worn [them], but that’s the beautiful thing about evolving with fashion,” she says. Though she’s most known for her hyper-romantic aesthetic laced with soft pastel shades, micro hemlines, and ethereal fabrics, Carpenter’s found herself experimenting outside of that look. (Don’t worry—it’s not going away entirely anytime soon.) "I’m constantly exploring and figuring [things] out,” she says. One look at her recent ensembles from Paris Fashion Week—where she wore a runway look from Schiaparelli’s F/W 23 collection to the French couturier’s S/S 24 show and a completely sheer black slip dress to Givenchy—is proof enough of that. 

Her stylist Jason Bolden—whose client list also includes Yara Shahidi, Storm Reid, and Vanessa Hudgens—has contributed significantly to that exploration. The duo first teamed up when Carpenter was just 17 around the same time that her breakout Disney show Girl Meets World wrapped. "The first thing he put me in was a red Loewe dress,” she recalls. "That was so out of left field for me because I don’t think anyone else would have done that at that time in my life.” Just then, she knew he was perfect for the job. "We started with taking some of these more daring fashion risks that I probably would have never seen on the rack and been like, ‘That’s the one for me,’” she says. "He was really good at pushing me in those ways.” They’ve been together ever since through each of her different musical and style eras, collaborating seamlessly to communicate her ever-changing story via clothes. "It sounds so silly to say that so much of my life is the little outfits I wear, but it kind of is,” she says.

Carpenter’s style is but one of many aspects of her life that revolve around music. She launched a second perfume a few months ago—Sweet Tooth: Caramel Dream—which she describes simply as an emotional extension of her music. She’s preparing to head back out on tour with Swift this month, followed by multiple shows on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour. She is releasing a new holiday EP titled fruitcake on November 17. And yes, she has plans for a sixth album. "There’s definitely more coming,” she says with an air of mystery. Everything she does remains firmly planted in her singular childhood dream. "I sometimes look at that as such a phenomenal thing to think about,” she says. "Why, for some reason, you just have something, this idea in your head when you’re put on this Earth and how it happens, you have no idea, but you have this blind faith and just wake up every day and make it happen.” Perhaps that explains the black-and-white manner in which she deals with those areas of her life that fall outside of her control. When she’s needed it most, music has come through for her, stepping in and helping her overcome every obstacle life’s thrown her way. Why question its powers now?

"I go into it with a little bit more excitement, being playful and just really singing and interacting with the crowd as much as I possibly can,” she says. "There’s so many of them—I can’t see them all.”

Her costumes, likewise, contribute to her energy onstage. "I want to feel as confident as humanly possible so I can be up there and not worry about what I’m doing,” she says. "It helps me perform better.” She ended up donning custom Swarovski-crystal minidresses by the Ukrainian brand Frolov, a favorite of Beyoncé for her own shows. She paired the dresses with her signature white go-go boots. "The go-go boots have been there for me in hard times,” she says. 

Fashion played a pivotal role in Emails I Can’t Send, more so than it did in any of her previous albums. "[The record], to me at least, feels like the first album cycle where I really felt like there was a style connection to the music,” she explains. "I haven’t always felt that way in the past because I was young and didn’t know who I was.” By getting to know herself better and finally gaining firsthand experience of the themes she’d long been singing about, everything just clicked. "This theme of hearts [is] sprinkled throughout the music and different visuals,” she says. "It made so much sense to me because [the album] was so deeply surrounded by this infatuation with love and the lack of love and [how it helped to shape] me into the person that I am right now.” Scrolling through her Instagram feed, the symbol is ubiquitous in her looks. "There have been a lot of little heart cutouts,” she says. "I’ve pretty much done it everywhere.”

Her style outside of the album has also seen a shift as she’s learned more about who she is. "The things I feel really confident in now, maybe five years ago I probably would have never worn [them], but that’s the beautiful thing about evolving with fashion,” she says. Though she’s most known for her hyper-romantic aesthetic laced with soft pastel shades, micro hemlines, and ethereal fabrics, Carpenter’s found herself experimenting outside of that look. (Don’t worry—it’s not going away entirely anytime soon.) "I’m constantly exploring and figuring [things] out,” she says. One look at her recent ensembles from Paris Fashion Week—where she wore a runway look from Schiaparelli’s F/W 23 collection to the French couturier’s S/S 24 show and a completely sheer black slip dress to Givenchy—is proof enough of that. 

Her stylist Jason Bolden—whose client list also includes Yara Shahidi, Storm Reid, and Vanessa Hudgens—has contributed significantly to that exploration. The duo first teamed up when Carpenter was just 17 around the same time that her breakout Disney show Girl Meets World wrapped. "The first thing he put me in was a red Loewe dress,” she recalls. "That was so out of left field for me because I don’t think anyone else would have done that at that time in my life.” Just then, she knew he was perfect for the job. "We started with taking some of these more daring fashion risks that I probably would have never seen on the rack and been like, ‘That’s the one for me,’” she says. "He was really good at pushing me in those ways.” They’ve been together ever since through each of her different musical and style eras, collaborating seamlessly to communicate her ever-changing story via clothes. "It sounds so silly to say that so much of my life is the little outfits I wear, but it kind of is,” she says.

Carpenter’s style is but one of many aspects of her life that revolve around music. She launched a second perfume a few months ago—Sweet Tooth: Caramel Dream—which she describes simply as an emotional extension of her music. She’s preparing to head back out on tour with Swift this month, followed by multiple shows on the iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Tour. She is releasing a new holiday EP titled fruitcake on November 17. And yes, she has plans for a sixth album. "There’s definitely more coming,” she says with an air of mystery. Everything she does remains firmly planted in her singular childhood dream. "I sometimes look at that as such a phenomenal thing to think about,” she says. "Why, for some reason, you just have something, this idea in your head when you’re put on this Earth and how it happens, you have no idea, but you have this blind faith and just wake up every day and make it happen.” Perhaps that explains the black-and-white manner in which she deals with those areas of her life that fall outside of her control. When she’s needed it most, music has come through for her, stepping in and helping her overcome every obstacle life’s thrown her way. Why question its powers now?

Kitten heels, embellished ballet flats, knee-high boots, strappy heels, colorful slingbacks—there are truly endless shoe options to invest in right now. Personally, I'm dealing with the overwhelming selection by narrowing it down to only shoes that excite me to my core. As they say, if it's not a hell yes, it's a no. 

Right now, Mytheresa's designer-shoe selection is exceptionally top-notch. I found so many pretty pairs of shoes that are straight-up eye candy. My favorites include two different collabs: one between Jimmy Choo and Jean Paul Gaultier and the other between Area and Sergio Rossi. I also handpicked some beautiful styles from Roger Vivier, Tory Burch, Ferragamo, Gucci, Saint Laurent, and more. Scroll down to shop my favorites. 

What's better than one iconic designer brand? A collaboration between two legendary brands, of course. Jimmy Choo has teamed up with Jean Paul Gaultier on a new line of shoes that are bound to sell out lightning fast. "The collaboration fuses the identities of the two iconic brands—one emblematic of London, the other quintessentially Parisian—and explores the dichotomy between these two geographic and philosophical points," the press release reads. 

"Jean Paul Gaultier is an icon—as a man, and as a brand," Jimmy Choo creative Director Sandra Choi said in a statement. "I have adored his work for as long as I can remember, and he has inspired me my entire life in fashion. I was honored and incredibly excited to be able to reinterpret his legacy, the meaning of his work, and his world, alongside Florence Tétier through the lens of Jimmy Choo." Scroll down to shop the stunning new collection. 

Whenever Nordstrom drops a sale, it's virtually a holiday at this point. It's not uncommon to catch the final drop of end-of-season sales around this time in January, but few rival Nordstrom's expansive selection of epic markdowns. So when the retailer launched a semi-sale a few days ago, I stopped everything to see what was up. And scan every corner I did—precisely 400-plus pages of boots, dresses, denim, sweaters, and more. 

A set of tired eyes and fatigued fingers later (because I'm just that dedicated), I found the most compelling fashion buys of the bunch. It's great news if a wardrobe refresh or trend experiment is on the seasonal agenda—there were so many great designer discounts included in the sale, like Prada and The Row for 60% off. But if your budget calls for staples that are more affordable, there's plenty of that too. Ahead, keep scrolling to shop the deals that trump the rest.

The best part about collaborations is that you take two iconic entities and combine them to make something entirely new and exciting. Case in point? The latest exclusive capsule collection from Jimmy Choo and Timberland.

Following the overwhelming success of their first collab in 2020, the brands joined forces again to launch a new collection inspired by New York City. According to the press release, Jimmy Choo's creative director, Sandra Choi, worked with the Timberland team to reimagine its iconic Original Yellow Boot, resulting in a "high octane," glamorous seven-piece collection across men's and women's styles. 

As if the shoes weren't eye-catching enough, the global brands worked with Harlem’s Fashion Row, a New York–based agency that provides opportunities for emerging Black and Latinx creatives, who connected them with New York native designer Shanel Campbell. As the press release notes, "Campbell's work explores the Black Experience in America, and her invaluable insight—combined with Jimmy Choo’s signature style of daring and confident glamour—resulted in a unique fusion that celebrates the creative spirit of the city and culminates in the total reinvention of a cult classic." 

The collab is exemplified in a heeled version of Timberland's iconic 6-inch boots that are covered entirely in Swarovski crystals. We think this style has Jennifer Lopez's name written all over it.

From neon catsuits to micro bikinis, Dua Lipa has more than proven that she can pull anything off. And her latest look, worn by the "Levitating" singer during a recent trip to Tokyo, is no exception. For what appears to be a jam-packed evening full of museum tours, shopping malls, and late-night roaming throughout the city, Lipa chose to combine not one, not two, but three controversial trends into a single outfit (four if you count the wedge heels). Even more shocking, she made what would normally be a puzzling combination look chic. 

You want specifics, I know. Apparel-wise, Lipa paired a satin, cow-print midi dress with a clashing leopard-print coat, both from Dries Van Noten. To make the loud look even louder—and add a space-age vibe to the otherwise jungle-inspired ensemble—she added a pair of wedge-heeled, gold, knee-high boots from Jimmy Choo. Casual? Not at all. Worth copying? Absolutely. 

Below, shop Lipa's exact outfit, as well as plenty of animal-print options to help you get the same look for far less.

Ashley Benson's latest red carpet look is so good it's scary. The Pretty Little Liars star turned heads at Screamfest L.A. during the premiere of her new movie, The Loneliest Boy in the World.

Benson is no stranger to pushing the envelope when it comes to her personal style, but this elegant-yet-edgy look by Camilla and Marc is certainly a level-up. Styled by Jessica Paster, the outfit embraced monochromatic minimalism, with Benson forgoing a top and highlighting her décolletage with a chunky chain necklace and other gold jewelry. Her beige patent-leather platform heels by Jimmy Choo paired perfectly with the flared pants and provided a few extra inches of height for the 5'3" actress. We also love the goth vibe of her matte-black coffin-shaped mani.

We're not ashamed to admit that the whole Who What Wear team excitedly awaits Jimmy Choo's new seasonal launches with bated breath. Between its pool-ready sandals and chunky winter boots, the brand always delivers in the style stakes and sets the tone for what to expect from the season ahead. And this year is no exception. While we've already been treated to the perfect spring shoe collection (as fronted by Hailey Bieber) and the release of the year's latest It sneakers, there's still more to come from the brand. The latest Time to Dare collection takes iconic Jimmy Choo signatures and dials up the drama, and it comes Kendall Jenner–approved.

"Energetic, dynamic, free—the idea for autumn was to explore silhouettes and shapes, propose new proportions and volumes, and create something true to us yet still anchored within the codes of our brand," says Creative Director Sandra Choi. "It's the evolution of our modern goddess, but this time, she's an urbane goddess—engineered with today's high-speed world in mind with an equal measure of sensuality and wearability."

And this collection is indeed endlessly wearable. Sure, there are those moments of architectural genius that we've come to expect from the brand, but there are also practical pairs of shoes and bags that we want in our wardrobes for everyday wear. And whose commute wouldn't be improved by a little injection of glamour?

We like to consider ourselves flat-shoe aficionados with a specialty in hunting down the coolest sneakers that can easily finish every outfit. Not all shoes are created equal, and every now and then, a new pair comes along that manages to capture the hearts (and closets) of fashion people across the globe. One such gem has been delivered recently by Jimmy Choo: the Diamond Light Maxi.

You may think of Jimmy Choo and instantly envision incredible stilettos, sassy sandals, and killer boots—and yes, it has all of the above in abundance—but there's a lot more to this beloved brand. Its latest foray into the world of sneakers is delivering the kind of off-duty luxury that many of us want to weave into our casual days. The Diamond Light Maxi features a comfy, stacked rubber sole that provides bounce and a very welcome lift. With all the benefits of a platform sneaker, this new silhouette is still classic and elegant from the front, so you have the best of both worlds: sporty and polished.

It's proving to be one of the brand's most buzzed-about styles as we head into fall, and that's because it's the kind of versatile sneaker you can wear throughout the year with ease. For heel lovers, these shoes still provide sass, and for sneakerheads, the elevated finish and small details make for quite the sought-after collection. Have you noticed the diamond-like facets of the sole or the starburst-like seams across the side panels? In white Nappa leather, these are a delight. But you'll find the style landing in a range of colors and finishes: metallic silver, candy pink, and soft yellow are more adventurous options for those who like their sneakers to come with a statement. The silver, in particular, would make for the perfect after-dark companion, instantly adding a "wow" factor to a little black dress and allowing you to party all night without sacrificing style.

Which pair will you choose? Now, that's the hard part. Keep scrolling to see more of the Diamond Light Maxi sneakers and Jimmy Choo's other fantastic flats and fall-ready boots.

Not only did we get a new season of Only Murders in the Building this week, but we also got to witness its star, Selena Gomez, walk the premiere's red carpet. There to celebrate the popular Hulu show's long-awaited second season, Gomez wore a gorgeous silver sequin gown by Michael Kors Collection, which featured a daring back cutout, asymmetrical sleeves, and a thigh-high slit that showed off a pair of matching strappy sandals by Jimmy Choo. In other words, her stylist, Kate Young, did well. 

Gomez's red carpet look appears vastly different from the cozy Ugg sets and enviable outerwear that she's been spotted wearing on the show, both between takes and during them. Whatever she wears, though, whether it be high glamour or high comfort, the actress and singer pulls it off effortlessly.

I'm a Libra, so naturally, I am full of contradictions. I hate when people are late but I'm constantly running behind. I always want to pick the restaurant but can't for the life of me come up with one once I'm given the chance. The list goes on and on. But perhaps my most contradictory quality is that I live in New York City, where walking is paramount to getting practically anywhere, and yet, I wear heels 24/7.

Because 99% of the time, I refuse to wear flats, I've had to withstand a lot of trial and error when it comes to finding heels that look good and won't warrant a cab ride home. Ahead, discover all the shoe brands, from Manolo Blahnik to Reformation, that check off both of my footwear requirements (and more).

1. By Far

There's a reason why every fashion girl owns at least one pair of By Far shoes. Apart from being ridiculously stylish and well-priced considering the quality, the cult-favorite brand's selection of heels also manages to be extremely comfortable, which is a feat in the world of footwear. 

Shop By Far heels:

2. Wandler

Elza Wandler's namesake brand is known for its unique styles and mid-range prices, but until you actually slip one of her shoes on, you can't know just how comfortable they are as well. I, myself, own four pairs of Wandler shoes, two of which are heels, and all of which have accompanied me on countless miles-long journeys around NYC.

3. Open Edit

Open Edit, Nordstrom's in-house fashion label, has a knack for creating trendy, affordable designs that look and feel great on. And its footwear is no different than its apparel offering. I put the brand's beloved Sheena sandal to the test a few months back by walking over 17,000 steps in them and they more than passed.

4. Reformation

If you've been sleeping on Reformation's footwear thus far in your shopping career in favor of its pretty linen and silk dresses, this is your sign to wake up. Comfortable, stylish, and well-priced, the brand's heels (and more) are perfect for anyone who likes simple yet elegant shoes that will go with just about anything. 

Shop Reformation heels:

5. Jimmy Choo

Though Jimmy Choo is most often celebrated for its aesthetic appeal (and for good reason—every pair is stunning), it's important to also remember the craftsmanship involved in making every last pair the brand makes. And when a shoe is really well-made, comfort is always taken into account. 

Shop Jimmy Choo heels:

7. Zara

Zara's shoe selection is proof that you don't have to spend a ton of money to get a good pair of shoes. Trust me, I have Zara heels that have been in my wardrobe for over a decade that have held up even after miles of walking on pavement. 

8. Malone Souliers

If you don't believe me when I say that Malone Souliers are comfortable, believe Shopbop's review section for the brand which is full of sentiments like this one: "I was worried I'd have to return them because the heel may be too high but they're JUST RIGHT and SUPER COMFORTABLE!! I can't believe how comfortable these beautiful feathered heels are."

Shop Malone Souliers heels:

10. Schutz

Schutz is known for making shoes that look way more expensive than they are, with many of its pairs costing until $150. Even better, that price cap hasn't caused the brand to sacrifice comfort or craftsmanship, with many reviewers on Amazon noting how comfortable and walkable their Schutz heels are. 

Shop Schutz heels:

11. Amina Muaddi

Is there any shoe brand more buzzy right now than Amina Muaddi? I'd argue not by a landslide. Not only is the designer leading the charge when it comes to PVC, glass, and Barbie heels, she's also frequently making it onto fashion's most influential dresses, from Rihanna to Hailey Bieber. It doesn't hurt her case either that between the brand's wedge pumps and shapely heels, every major style is surprisingly comfortable. 

Shop Amina Muaddi heels:

12. Staud

For a brand that's main focus is ready-to-wear, Sarah Staudinger's Los Angeles-based brand Staud makes a fantastic shoe (and handbag). Comfortable and accessible, yet still stylish, Staud's heels more than deserve a spot in your footwear rotation. 

Shop Staud heels:

13. Manolo Blahnik

When it comes to craftsmanship and quality, no shoe brand does it better than Manolo Blahnik. From its best-selling Maysale mules to trendier Pertinanu and Pallera styles, you can bet that when you purchase a pair of Manolos, it'll last—and always look incredible. 

Shop Manolo Blahnik heels:

14. Nomasei

Nomasei founders Paule Tenaillon and Marine Braquet met each other at Chloé, where they both ended up after long stints working in fashion, Tenaillon as a footwear designer at Givenchy, Jil Sander, and Chanel, and Braquet as a product manager at Dior and Louis Vuitton. In other words, the duo knows how to create a beautifully-crafted shoe, and even better, one that's sustainable and moderately priced. 

Shop Nomasei heels:

15. Aquazzura

Aquazzura founder Edgardo Osorio designs footwear for the modern woman, which inherently means that comfort is a huge factor in the design process. That said, the brand's attention to comfort doesn't one bit take away from its selection's style factor. Offering up both trendy and classic footwear options, there's a little something for every shopper at the Italian brand.

The calendar doesn't say summer yet, but I'm declaring it official. While summer isn't my favorite season, it's climbing up the ranks pretty rapidly after a long and brutal winter in NYC. As I shift my wardrobe from layers and coats to easy-breezy pieces, I've noticed that getting dressed is so much simpler when the weather is warm (especially with all of the cute summer finds on the market). And I owe this effortlessness to all the accessories that carry each and every outfit I throw on in the summer. I've brought a basic T-shirt and denim shorts to new heights with nothing but a pair of shoes and a good handbag. And without a bold pop of color in the form of a bucket bag or a textured heel, my outfits would fall flat. I refuse to enter this long-awaited season without giving my looks the spice that they need, so I'm investing in some gems from Jimmy Choo. The summer collection is quite literally bringing the fun elements of my mood board to life. Beaded bags, embellished sandals, and logo beach bags are just some of the pieces that have caught my eye (the Varenne Quad bag is calling my name), and I know I'll be reaching for them all season long. Are you ready for new pieces that require minimal effort but give you maximum style? Keep scrolling for my top picks.

Hailey Bieber in the Jimmy Choo campaign

There's no doubt about it: Hailey Bieber often picks our outfits for us. While we wish she did this via speed dial, we (of course) mean that she delivers us endless wardrobe inspiration. The model knows how to put looks together, and she's the star of the Jimmy Choo Spring 2022 collection, so expect to be inspired. She's delivering us all the latest accessory updates from the brand, so it's safe to say we know which accessories we want to be wearing this season. You may have already seen the VARENNE bag in the form of the hobo, top-handle and satchel (each adorned with the iconic JC hardware), but the VARENNE family has expanded. For spring, there's the addition of the timeless tote in two sizes and four effortless shades: black, latte, dark tan and dark amber orange—and two sizes, as well as VARENNE Quad and VARENNE Shoulder bag in the same colour palette. There really is a style to suit absolutely everyone.

Say hello to the Jimmy Choo chain-handle shoulder bags in black and latte. 

The queen of sneakers, Bieber has of course already worn this season's It shoe, and it's all about the Jimmy Choo COSMOS sneaker, which prove chunky kicks aren't going anywhere this season. If you think they look familiar, the caged detail on each of the five colourways is a nod to the label's signature strappy sandals that every fashion editor and influencer owns. Keep scrolling to see the new VARENNE bags and COSMOS trainers that you're about to spot all over Instagram.

There's nothing that gets fashion editors' hearts racing quite like an It shoe, and this season, the fashion gods have delivered with what is sure to be 2022's buzziest boots. Three words: Jimmy Choo x Mugler. This holy union of fashion collabs only dropped in February, but its designs have already been selling everywhere. And we can certainly see why. Only this week, A-lister Emma Watson was snapped in the brand's thigh-high boots at a pre-BAFTA party—if this won't convince you to fall in love with this drop then we don't know what will. 

Clad in head-to-toe black, Watson styled her boots with a chic Nensi Dojaka dress (another 2022 It brand), black blazer and crossbody bag. Talk about dinner dressing goals. The actor isn't the only one who has fallen for Jimmy Choo's statement shoe collab—trendsetters Anna Vitiello and Tiffany Hsu have also snapped themselves in the collection, which is a seal of approval if we ever saw one.

With a striking mesh fabric that wraps around the foot, the boots come in both a calf-grazing fit and a dramatic thigh-high style and are available in black and neon green. The boots' nude (in two shades) stripes give a very cool illusion that makes it look like you're barely wearing shoes at all. They're essentially the ultimate "out-out" shoes. Scroll down to see the shoe collab that is lighting up social media right now. Plus, shop other pieces from the collection.

If we don't get to see Jennifer Lopez and Ben Affleck, famously referred to as Bennifer, get engaged (for the second time) in 2022, at least we can say that we witnessed the couple looking wedding-ready on the red carpet. It's not the same, clearly, but when it comes to our favourite early aughts duo, we'll take what we can get.

On Tuesday night, the couple arrived at the Los Angeles premiere of Lopez's new movie Marry Me, which she stars in alongside Owen Wilson and Maluma, casually dressed like—and acting like—newlyweds. Specifically, Lopez wore a long-sleeve lace minidress designed by Giambattista Valli with feather-embellished Jimmy Choo heels and Dior diamond earrings. Affleck's look likewise set off wedding bells, as it included a long black coat and a navy suit.

Whether they pulled a Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, skipping out on a red carpet event early to get hitched in Las Vegas, is still TBD. If not, though, at least we have plenty of photos from the Marry Me premiere to keep us entertained. See the couple ahead.

Whether they pulled a Sophie Turner and Joe Jonas, skipping out on a red carpet event early to get hitched in Las Vegas, is still TBD. If not, though, at least we have plenty of photos from the Marry Me premiere to keep us entertained. See the couple ahead.

It sometimes feels like you could spend forever searching for the perfect wardrobe heroes. The perfect white T-Shirt, the perfect pair of jeans, the perfect cashmere jumper… it can get exhausting. But when you find those pieces, and start building your ultimate capsule wardrobe— it seriously pays off. You end up with an edit of really special pieces you’ll wear forever and that make getting dressed every morning much easier. Some of those items can absolutely be found on the high street, like this COS T-shirt, and some are worth investing in, to avoid having to buy twice (or more).

Knee-high boots, I’m here to argue, are one of those things. Mainly because it's important for them to be of excellent quality in order to last, but also because they’re a perennial. Their position in fashion’s most-wanted list may fluctuate depending on the exact year or season, but they’ll always be a classic footwear choice, making them a smart forever investment. They’re flattering, chic and also practical, and can make any outfit look expensive. As we’ve seen over the past couple of years, they can come in many trend-led forms— western style, flat and chunky, riding boots— but if you’re looking for timeless, nothing beats a leather, heeled knee-high boot.

And if, like me, you’ve spent countless hours searching for the perfect pair— you’re in luck, because I'm here to reveal that Jimmy Choo’s current selection is the closest you're going to get. They come in an array of buttery-soft shades, heel-heights and styles, from a classic black stiletto-heeled pair to chunky flat knee-highs. Importantly, the calf width on Jimmy Choo's knee-high boots is also majorly flattering— neither too wide nor too slim against the leg, which means they'll work really well under dresses and over jeans. Trust us, we've tried them on.

These features may sound pernickety but when you’re spending £1000 plus on a pair of boots they better be perfect down to the last detail, right? Well, that’s what you get with Jimmy Choo's beauties, and I couldn’t recommend them more. Keep scrolling to shop my favourite pairs from Jimmy Choo’s timeless knee-high offering.

Does anyone else feel like literally everything Hailey Bieber touches right now turns to gold? We can’t get enough of her relaxed, out-for-dinner-with-Justin street style, her red-carpet style, and her beauty looks. And by the looks of our page views whenever we discuss her, you guys love her just as much as we do. We’re not ashamed to say we like pretty much everything she approves of, so when we saw her latest campaign with none other than iconic accessories brand Jimmy Choo, we knew we were in for a treat.

So let’s unpack it. Bieber looks amazing dressed to the nines in hero styles from the brand’s new winter collection. We’re seriously feeling the white party boots with just a hint of cowboy, those caged crystal heels she recently posted on Instagram, and of course, the neon satin party bags. (Need we say more?) But it’s obviously the brand’s fuschia-bow Averly heels that have gone straight to the top of our dream shoe wish list. Hailey wore the similar Aveline version in white to her own wedding rehearsal in 2019, and we’ve had those grosgrain bows on our minds ever since.

Talk about the perfect party inspiration. If we weren’t already thinking about the upcoming events this season, we certainly are now. Of course, we’d expect nothing less from Jimmy Choo, a long-time purveyor of the most iconic dancing shoes. Yes, these are serious investment pieces, but they’re also the kind of accessories you’ll bring out for every fancy event year after year.

Bieber and her sparkles may be blinding, but while we’re here, let’s not overlook the other half of Jimmy Choo’s impressive new collection, which is much more about cozy winter walks than dancing the night away (just in case that’s more your thing). Come on, have you ever seen a more perfect pair of suede boots? (Take a look below, and let us know.) And then there’s the understated Varenne satchel bag, which you're sure to see on the arms of the most stylish people way beyond this season.

This new drop might be a tale of two halves, but it makes one hell of a whole. Keep scrolling to shop the hero pieces for party season and more relaxed winter looks. (Hint: you might want to start making that holiday wish list right now.)

The cutout trend just got a major endorsement at the Oscars. Zendaya and her stylist Law Roach chose a stunning custom Valentino dress with a statement-making cutout beneath the bust. It's hard to choose what to focus on: the gown's vibrant and cheery color, its sultry ab-baring slit, or Zendaya's 183 carats worth of Bulgari jewelry. So let's just admire every inch of this stellar look.

Zendaya went matchy-matchy in a yellow face mask and coordinating canary Jimmy Choo heels, so it's no surprise that her jewelry was also in the same color. Zendaya wore a Bulgari High Jewelry necklace in platinum with a cushion-cut fancy vivid yellow diamond along with hundreds of white diamonds. Her Bulgari High Jewelry rings and earrings also featured yellow diamonds for a grand total of 183 carats. Scroll down to see Zendaya's Oscars 2021 look.

It is impossible not to root for Lizzo. Although the three-time Grammy Award winner was not nominated this year (hey, it's been a tough one for all of us), it was a joy to see Lizzo grace the 63rd annual Grammys stage as a presenter. Not only did she give out the award for Best New Artist to fellow Houstonian, Megan Thee Stallion, but also looked damn good doing so while channeling shimmery mermaid realness in not just one, but two looks over the course of the evening. 

Working with stylist Brett Alan Nelson to create her looks for the night, Lizzo's pastel gowns, both by Balmain, were complemented by several pieces of beautiful Bulgari jewelry and flawless makeup done by Alexx Mayo using all Charlotte Tilbury products. While she switched up her dress and shoes, the "Because I Love You" singer sported her Bulgari baubles—including the brand's classic Serpenti styles in a necklace, bracelets, and rings which included over 267 carats of diamonds—throughout the event.

Luckily, we caught up with Nelson prior to show time to get the scoop on Lizzo's full look! Keep scrolling for the details, and get ready to add a few of her stunning accessories to your wish list. 

How long have you been working with Lizzo? Is there a favorite look that comes to mind?

I have been working with Lizzo on a variety of projects over the last two years. My favorite look that I have done with her so far was our Rolling Stone cover with David LaChapelle. 

How would you describe Lizzo's red carpet style? Is there a specific feeling you're going for on Grammys night?

I always keep the disco era in mind when working with Lizzo. She’s such an icon, so I want to play up the iconic legends of that era but make it our own!

What type of jewelry did you have in mind for Lizzo's looks?

I knew Bulgari was the moment. They are such a legendary jewelry brand, and the Serpenti pieces were just so fitting with both dresses.

How has COVID-19 and the nature of remote awards shows been a challenge for you as a celeb stylist?

COVID has been terrible, honestly. Everything is virtual. But as a creative, I always want to give people a space to escape with us and enjoy the moment.

Any tips for viewers at home on achieving their own red carpet-worthy look?

Always have fun! Don’t worry about what anyone else says. If you feel happy and are having fun, then that’s all that matters.

Kate Middleton definitely plays favorites. No, not with her children (that we know of) but with her shoes. She's nothing if not reliable when it comes to her footwear choices for different kinds of occasions. Yes, she'll sometimes throw us for a loop and introduce a new brand or different color into the mix, but overall, her outfits follow certain formulas.

For instance, she loves to color-coordinate her shoes. If she's wearing a green dress, she'll either go matchy-matchy and choose shoes in the exact same hue, or she'll do a tonal look by selecting shoes in a different shade of the same color family. In the same vein, she also likes to match her accessories to her shoes, so if she has a black bag and belt, you can pretty much guess what color her shoes will be. Scroll down to see and shop the rest of Middleton's favorite shoes to wear with dresses. 

1. Color-Coordinated Pointy Pumps

When in doubt, go with color-coordinated shoes like Kate Middleton always does. She either goes for a full monochrome look or chooses shoes in a slightly different shade than her dress for a cool tonal look. 

On Middleton: ARossGirl x Soler Amanda Dress ($434); Asprey clutch bag; Zeen Dazzling Ceramic Drop Earrings ($8); Emmy London shoes

On Middleton: Preen dress; Gianvito Rossi shoes

2. Tan Wedges

Kate Middleton's favorite shoes to wear with more casual dresses are undoubtedly her Castañer tan wedges. Specifically, she always wears them with floral short-sleeve midi dresses. She owns versions by Sandro, L.K.Bennett, and others. 

On Middleton: Castañer Carina Espadrilles ($119); Catherine Zoraida earrings

On Kate Middleton: Sandro dress; Castañer Carina Espadrilles ($119)

3. Lace-Up Ankle Boots

Middleton also loves to wear ankle boots with dresses and tights. These L.K.Bennett boots are one of her newest additions, and we have a feeling she'll get plenty of use out of them. 

On Middleton: L.K.Bennett Mollie Boots

On Middleton: Eponine London dress; L.K.Bennett Mollie Boots

4. Knee-High Boots

For chillier weather, the Duchess of Cambridge's outfit formula is simple: midi dress and coat of the same length plus knee-high suede boots. If it ain't broke, why fix it? 

On Middleton: Hobbs coat; Zara dress; Stuart Weitzman boots

Jimmy Choo is a name that most are familiar with—the footwear label has long been a favourite among the style set and was even referenced in the ultimate fashion film, The Devil Wears Prada. It's long been a firm fixture at award season. However, this year, I have noticed that every actress seems to be opting for Choos for the red carpet. 

According to the brand, a total of 17 celebrities wore Jimmy Choo on the red carpet at the Critics' Choice Awards, and a total of 38 celebrities wore Choos to either the Golden Globes or the after-parties. Renée Zellweger, Sandra Bullock, Olivia Wilde and Florence Pugh are just a few of the leading ladies that Jimmy Choo counts as fans, while Reese Witherspoon, Scarlett Johansson and Priyanka Chopra also wore Jimmy Choo handbags to the Golden Globes.

Is there anything Jennifer Lopez can't do? Short answer: no. Long answer: of course not!

The 50-year-old superstar first came onto the scene in 1991 as a Fly Girl dancer on the show In Living Color and has continued to build her momentum over the past three decades, adding recording artist, businesswoman, producer, and Golden Globe nominee to her list of professional accolades.

In fact, the Bronx-born multihyphenate had an exceptional 2019 that reflected the gamut of her talents. Not only did she release new music, but she also paid homage to her 2000s-era internet-breaking green chiffon Versace gown by wearing a replica of the original at the designer's Milan Fashion Week show and, most notably, earned rave reviews—and hopefully, an Oscar nomination—as Ramona in the movie Hustlers.

Of course, this banner year provided ample opportunities for J.Lo to show off another of her many talents as the ultimate Who What Wear fashion icon. From the runway to the red carpet, below are 28 of Jennifer Lopez's best style moments from 2019.
