Emily Ratajkowski's $120 Airport Sneakers Are a French-Girl Favorite

Emily Ratajkowski is one of those It girls who look just as cool in sneakers and baggy pants as they do in a designer dress and heels on the red carpet. Case in point: She just walked the terminals of Paris' CDG airport wearing the former. And fittingly, Ratajkowski's sneakers of choice for her travels are a French-girl favorite: Veja.
The headquarters for Veja are in France, and for French influencers like Camille Charrière and Louise Follain, they're the sneaker brand of choice (see the proof below). Though not a "French girl," Ratajkowski chose the most classic style: the white Esplar sneakers, which more than justify their $120 price tag, as they're as timeless as sneakers come. (Added bonus: The brand is committed to sustainability.)
Read on to see how Ratajkowski styled the sneakers and then shop some Veja options for yourself.
