Last weekend, when fall fashion reclaimed its rightful place in my closet, I realized I was not ready to put away the summer’s leading—and coolest!—color combination: red-and-purple. Nor do I need to: Recent runway shows and celebrities, ranging from Dua Lipa to Prada, convinced me to skip the “see you next year” pile and save myself from another September of styling beige, black, and white on repeat.

Neighboring shades on the color wheel create some of fashion’s most interesting combinations. Nowhere was that more clear than on the Spring/Summer 2026 circuit, where Carolina Herrera, Stella McCartney, and Prada taste-tested cherry and grape together. More recently, Valentino, Chanel, Lanvin, Mugler, and CFCL cemented the pairing’s spot in my regular autumn rotation, but not before VIPs like Lipa, Zoey Deutch, and Lupita Nyong’o proved the fresh-from-the-runway pigments shine on the street style scene, too.

Sure, red-and-purple looks might secure finger claps at New York Fashion Week, but what about my midwestern stomping grounds? While my colleagues are at NYFW this week, I tested the pairing in the land of (sometimes boring) black-and-white dressing.

The Red-and-Purple Color Combination Trend

At the beginning of 2026, I added “experiment with color combinations” to the top of my fashion resolutions list. I hoped the reminder would widen my wardrobe to include some of the season's biggest color pairings like pale pink-and-tangerine orange, cobalt blue-and-butter yellow, and strawberry red-and-purple. Thanks to endorsements from my favorite designers and fashion girls alike, my makeshift style resolution of sorts worked.

Wearing red and purple is nowhere near a novel outfit formula: Decades after Princess Diana endorsed the color combination, it resurfaced—via a crimson wrap coat and violet maternity dress—in Meghan Markle’s circa-2019 royal closet. That same year, Victoria Beckham pulled off a lavender-and-tomato look, courtesy of her London-based fashion brand. By 2022, the creative director proved the coupling is surprisingly Posh Spice-coded, wearing a cashmere grape sweater with fire hydrant red leather pants at Saint Laurent’s Paris Fashion Week show.

Fast forward to 2026, and red-and-purple outfits sprouted everywhere from the Cannes Film Festival to New York City. Back in May, Lipa accessorized an eggplant-tinted dress from Ferragamo’s Fall 2026 collection with the Hug East-West handbag in “Flame Red” for the film festival in the South of France. Less than a month later, Deutch made herself a purple-and-red sandwich, featuring a royal purple cardigan and tomato red trousers, both from High Sport, while promoting her newest film in the Big Apple.

How I Style It

For a look that’s as effortless as black-and-white that I’m accustomed to, I stacked a purple piece on top of red bottoms à la Deutch. I’m really loving lavender as a summer-to-fall hue, so I shade-matched the striped cardigan around my waist to a short-sleeve cashmere sweater from Anthropologie. Thick tomato-red bands smoothed the contrast between the light lavender and the asymmetrical midi skirt from Old Navy. (I’m planning on pairing the two-sweater set with red denim fresh from Deutch’s press tour wardrobe, too.)

I completed the look with a suede top-handle tote by Mark & Graham in an almost identical color to the skirt and my beloved Gap barn jacket. I grounded my otherwise out-there look with the coat’s espresso-brown corduroy collar and matching Madewell loafers.

Inspired by Lipa’s more elevated maximalist look in Cannes, I wanted to see if these It colors could pass the wedding guest test. (The pop star’s Ferragamo ‘fit would’ve promised her the best-dressed crown at any ceremony.) This time around, a watermelon-squeezed, drop-waist dress from Hutch served as my foundation shade, one that earned the endorsement of my cousin, whose wedding I’ll be attending next month. Not only did the bride-to-be give an additional thumbs-up to my plum bucket bag by Cuyana (an A-lister-beloved brand), but the smooth leather shade is also surprisingly close to the colors of her wedding bouquet.

While Lipa saved room for heeled mules in her French Riviera suitcase, I’m putting comfort—and the high-vamp flats trend—first in ballerinas by J.Crew. They’re the same tomato-red tint as the Grammy winner’s accessories, except more dance-floor-friendly and under $150. However, I could also get away with Katie Holmes’s recent take on the red-and-purple trend (square-toe block heels at August’s Michael Kors soirée) and walk away just as blister-free.

Just as I suspected, this color combination trend isn’t reserved for summer styling. Thanks to today’s trendsetters (and their “not-just-neutrals” approach to fall fashion), red-and-purple is the new black-and-white in my cold-weather wardrobe.

Jennifer Lopez can regularly be found hitting the gym, which means she has an extensive closet of workout clothing. In fact, the superstar has been known to use a $29,000 Hermès Birkin as her gym bag on occasion. But for an outing this weekend, the Marry Me star opted for a Valentino bag paired with the jelly shoe trend.

Lopez was spotted in Santa Monica wearing a skintight brown catsuit, which she accessorized with a Valentino Garavani Panthea Embellished Patchwork Leather and Suede Shoulder Bag.

The bag features a chevron patchwork-style design and two straps, one metal and one studded leather, and retails for $3,800. As usual, Lopez's gym bag choice was completely chic and exceedingly enviable.

Along with a pair of white socks, J.Lo also wore the perfect pair of sneakers, which tie into the ongoing jelly shoe trend.

In fact, Hailey Bieber recently showcased a pair of Nike sneakers, which embodied a jelly shoe sneaker hybrid. Now, Lopez appears to be hopping on the very same trend.

Unfortunately, the Maid in Manhattan star's exact Nike sneakers, which feature a jelly shoe cage to hold the laces, have long since sold out. The Nike Air Presto x Off-White sneakers still trade hands on resale sites, which is a testament to Virgil Abloh's design aesthetic.

Although they're a little different, the Nike Air Presto by You Custom Shoes contain a similar jelly cage, meaning fans of the style can embrace the hybrid sneaker trend.

Even though summer's over, it seems that the jelly shoe trend is running straight into fall.

This fall, nightgowns are everywhere but the bedroom. Lace-trimmed slip dresses are the stars of Vintage Girl Fall, a nostalgic mood board beloved by Dakota Johnson, Vittoria Ceretti, and now, Hailey Bieber. On September 7, Bieber flaunted her second nightie of the season—a leopard-print Roberto Cavalli dress—with Manolo Blahniks and a mini bag.

For a sushi date night with her husband in L.A., Bieber embraced the '90s fashion aesthetic in a sold-out, spaghetti-strap slip, featuring ivory lace along the neckline and knee-length hem. The cool-toned leopard print seemed to influence the color story of her accessories: She paired her well-loved Manolo Blahnik sandals with The Row's sold-out Ingrid Bag, both in rich chocolate brown shades.

Like the '90s baby she is, the Rhode founder added a gold anklet, Jessica McCormack diamond earrings, and vintage oval sunglasses to the mix. She finished with a Pocket Blush keychain around her top-handle tote. Adding a Rhode product to her off-duty outfit is one of Bieber's favorite ways to tease an upcoming release: The morning after the celebrity couple enjoyed their California rolls, the beauty brand confirmed the bag charm's Sept. 15 launch.

This isn't the first time Bieber has worn lingerie with a '90s-style handbag. Back in July, she paired her burgundy slip dress with heeled The Row flip-flops and a croc Toteme clutch, shade-matched to the mini's lacy black trim.

All this to say? Free your go-to nightie from the confines of your pajama drawer. This fall, the going-out staple deserves a permanent spot alongside your little black dresses.

Shop Leopard-Print Dresses and Brown Bags Inspired by Hailey Bieber

This summer has been full of standout color combinations. Serena Williams served a cobalt blue windbreaker and butter yellow sneakers before the 2026 US Open. Anne Hathaway gave strawberry red a maternity twist with denim blues. And Hailey Bieber’s yellow lingerie top looked so electric with black bottoms, it bordered on chartreuse.

Before celebrities went all in on pairing unexpected hues, designers made a case for palette clashing. On the spring and fall 2026 runways, Celine held a master class in primary colorblocking, while Balenciaga solidified red-and-purple as autumn's leading color combination. (The latter was further confirmed by Dua Lipa, who accessorized a grape Ferragamo dress with a bright cherry bag earlier this summer.)

Read on for a full breakdown of the fashion show-to-celebrity closet pipeline, featuring the color combinations that will put black-and-white wardrobes out of business.

The Cobalt Blue and Butter Yellow Color Combination Trend

As recently as a pre-US Open pickleball game, Serena Williams’s butter yellow tennis skirt softened her athletic look’s cobalt blue theme (co-signed by Chanel, Saint Laurent, Givenchy, and more). While the scene-stealing shade made her Nike windbreaker and sneakers unmissable, the pastel yellow pigment grounded the look in accessibility.

The Cool Blue and Red Color Combination Trend

Back in August, Anne Hathaway attended a premiere in a red-and-blue Prabal Gurung top made for cool moms-to-be. Being mostly cool blue, the halter resembled runway swatches from Ulla Johnson's and Carolina Herrera's recent shows. But plot twist: it was lined with strawberry-red satin. The Oscar winner earned extra points for shade-matching the peekaboo pigment to her pointy pumps.

The Navy Blue and Camel Color Combination Trend

Navy blue and camel isn’t the most complicated (or unusual) of color combinations. In fact, it probably already lives in your fall wardrobe. But that’s not to say it’s boring. To prove the pairing still looks classic and cool, Kendall Jenner layered a navy sweater over the epaulette-embellished shoulders of her khaki trench coat.

The Tomato Red and Black Color Combination Trend

Jennifer Lawrence, Zendaya, and Alexandra Leclerc have recently worn red with black, but Charlize Theron's Givenchy look was the most autumnal by far. For a The Odyssey after-party in London, Theron slipped black leather gloves beside her tomato going-out dress. What’s the lesson here? The next time you reach for your well-loved LBD, step outside your comfort zone with a crimson mini and black accessories instead.

The Red and Purple Color Combination Trend

Red-and-purple might be the most underrated couple on this list, one that’s just starting to get its flowers. Early in the summer, Dua Lipa became the color combination’s blueprint, styling a grape-squeezed Ferragamo dress with cherry-colored accessories. It wasn’t long before Zoey Deutch coordinated a purple cardigan to the brightest red bottoms on the market. All this to say? Balenciaga, Carolina Herrera, Stella McCartney, and more certainly impressed their celebrity clientele when showing the color duo on the runways.

The Electric Yellow and Black Color Combination Trend

Hailey Bieber’s personal color palette, in all its minimalist glory, got a makeover this summer. That doesn’t mean the Rhode founder ditched neutral basics entirely—she just styled them with conversation-starting counterparts.

See: the neon-adjacent yellow lingerie top she wore with black trousers, matching peep-toe pumps, and a low-profile The Row purse. Mugler and Issey Miyake debuted similar anti-butter yellow designs on recent fall runways, but Bieber’s exact top is vintage Dolce & Gabbana. Tip: Switch the zesty yellow for chartreuse or moss green and the black for chocolate brown for an even more autumn-appropriate pairing.

Once upon a time, Labor Day weekend doubled as a last hurrah for my summer whites before they hibernated in my wardrobe for the winter. That habit ended when I realized my favorite fashion girls were wearing the previously shunned shade well into October. If Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber don't have to ditch white outfits for fall, why do I?

These days, I view the "no white after Labor Day" rule as more of a suggestion—and I'm not alone. In the weeks leading up to September 7, when summer whites might've once returned to storage, Pantone's color of the year (Cloud Dancer) gave everyone from Jenner and Bieber to Nicole Kidman and Zoë Kravitz a free pass.

Whether in head-to-toe ivory or a white T-shirt, these tiny rebellions started a trend at Wimbledon 2026, the US Open, and the Venice Film Festival. (White has always been a welcome, season-defying shade at tennis tournaments, though.) To honor Wimbledon's dress code, Kidman wore a creamy suit set and matching jazz shoes from Ralph Lauren. Meanwhile, Emma Corrin offset the crispness of their trousers with a tomato red sweater over a denim button-down.

Beyond the confines of the tennis court, Bridgerton's Nicola Coughlan gave her white Oxford shirt and jeans an autumn twist with a classic black blazer. Back in L.A., Jenner and Bieber used pops of black—on ballet flats and long-sleeve shirts, respectively—to extend the color's shelf life.

All this to say? My summer whites aren't going anywhere. To take the stress out of post-Labor Day dressing, keep scrolling for the milky VIP-approved pieces on my summer-to-fall fashion moodboard. Tip: Some of the best white outfits aren't even remotely monochromatic. Sometimes, just a simple splash of the shade will do.

Hailey Bieber's White Jeans

Fact: White denim is too cool to sit in storage until next summer. Last month, Hailey Bieber agreed, wearing a perfect low-rise pair with a black long-sleeve shirt. Once the temps start to drop, the Rhode founder's favorite flip-flops could trade places with ivory ballet flats and look even more autumnal.

Kendall Jenner's White The Row Skirt Set

I've been waiting all summer to recreate Kendall Jenner's white-on-white set, down to the three-quarter-length sleeves and knee-length pencil skirt. On the first Friday after Labor Day, I'll accessorize with a similar pouch purse and peep-toe pumps for a date with my fiancé.

Zoë Kravitz's White T-Shirt

The easiest way to wear white after Labor Day? A plain white tee à la Zoë Kravitz. It's not nearly as rebellious as Jenner's monochrome co-ord, thanks to the flared jeans and heeled ballet flats (a quintessential set for fall).

Nicole Kidman's White Ralph Lauren Suit

Calling all fall brides: Wouldn't it be iconic if you arrived at your bridal shower in an all-white suit? If you're feeling brave, use Nicole Kidman's Wimbledon wardrobe—a shoulder-padded blazer and pleated wide-leg pants—as your blueprint. You'll be fashion's coolest bride if you commit to the jazz shoe trend, too.

Nicola Coughlan's White Button-Down-and-Denim

Don't underestimate the power of a black blazer. It made Nicola Coughlan's all-white white button-down, denim, and Bottega Veneta bag seasonal for September. Come December, I'll style the same two-piece with ankle boots and an elongated coat.

Pamela Anderson's White Travel Wardrobe

Pamela Anderson didn't need a red carpet to steal the show at the 2026 Venice Film Festival. The style setter secured a spot on the best-dressed list in a tonal travel look. Even the actor's accessories—a headscarf and high-vamp ballet flats—continued the creamy color story.

Emma Corrin's White Ralph Lauren Trousers

Don't be afraid to play with pops of color this fall—even when you're wearing white. Emma Corrin proved it's worth the risk at Wimbledon, tucking a denim button-down and red polo shirt into perfectly tailored trousers. The best part about summer whites? They would've complemented any Fall 2026 color trend worn by The Crown actor, whether it be aqua blue, moss green, or even mustard yellow.

After five years of finishing French girl-inspired 'fits, my beloved ballet flats are officially out of order. To celebrate a life well lived, I planned on re-purchasing the same understated pair. That is, until a new VIP-approved ballet flats trend caught my eye. Plot twist: This new It shoe isn't flat anymore.

Slipper-style ballerinas will never truly leave celebrity shoe racks—or mine, for that matter. They're just sharing the stage with heeled ballet flats, the latest shoe trend to stand a few inches taller. It's been 85 years since Salvatore Capezio, the shoemaker of the Metropolitan Opera House, created the original silhouette for American designer Claire McCardell. Now, Rose Repetto's label—an Italian artist who hand-made a pair for her choreographer son in 1947—is famous for its ballet pumps, too.

Everyone from Olivia Rodrigo and Lily-Rose Depp to Hailey Bieber and Vittoria Ceretti has pirouetted around L.A. or New York City in Repetto's Camille Ballet Flats, known for their bow-tied toe boxes and block heels. After wearing black Camille ballerinas on repeat, Kaia Gerber designed her own suede style with Repetto in March 2026. That's not to say other brands aren't supporting the new trend, too. Sandy Liang's Ballet Pumps, for instance, have been Ariana Grande's go-to footwear style this summer.

My favorite flats picked the perfect time to fall apart: I'm on a mission to have another Ballet Flats Fall, but not with the slippers I'm used to styling. Ahead, join me in shopping for heeled ballet flats from the closets of Bieber, Gerber, Zoë Kravitz, and more.

Hailey Bieber's Heeled Ballet Flats

Repetto's ballet pumps joined Hailey Bieber's collection over a year ago. For their first street style sighting, the Rhode founder styled them as if she were an off-duty dancer: with a crop top, an oversized bomber jacket, slim trousers, and a rehearsal-ready bag.

Zoë Kravitz's Heeled Ballet Flats

Last weekend, after joining Harry Styles on his tour stops in London and Mexico, Zoë Kravitz returned to NYC with new shoes. The Blink Twice director scored the sold-out Roberto Flats from Maryam Nassir Zadeh, which featured 1.5-inch-tall block heels and a made-for-fall suede finish.

Ariana Grande's Heeled Ballet Flats

When she's not wearing gravity-defying Christian Louboutin boots on the Eternal Sunshine Tour, Ariana Grande is slipping socks into Sandy Liang's Ballet Pumps. As a dancer, she's no stranger to styling ballet slippers with hosiery. However, tapered heels gave her jeans-and-crewneck combination a high-fashion twist.

Kaia Gerber's Heeled Ballet Flats

As Marie Claire's resident celebrity style spotter, trust me when I say Kaia Gerber eats, sleeps, and struts in Repetto's heeled ballet flats. Before creating the sold-out Kaia style with the Paris label, she click-clacked around L.A. in the Camille heels.

Before long, Gerber assembled her own ballet flats outfit formula, which usually consists of a fitted cardigan, navy blue or black trousers, a Chanel or Gucci bag, and Repettos, obviously.

Apple Martin's Heeled Ballet Flats

Not only are black ballerinas the most versatile shade on an A-lister's shoe rack, but they're also the most well-loved. Every once in a while, though, someone like Grande or Apple Martin adds another neutral to the mix.

This summer, Martin accessorized her little white dress and chocolate-colored tote with chestnut brown ballet pumps, which seem to be a vintage Repetto pair. Their unconventional, not-quite-copper hue is begging to be worn all autumn long.

Lily-Rose Depp's Heeled Ballet Flats

Lily-Rose Depp might just be the trend's most loyal supporter: Thanks to Repetto, of course, she sported the silhouette as early as 2023. Every element of her off-duty outfit—down to the block heels and babydoll dress—would fit in with today's street style signatures. I think it's about time Depp pulled them out of storage, right?

This week, when Hailey Bieber and Zoë Kravitz endorsed the mules trend, I hibernated my flip-flops for fall. I should have waited: Less than 72 hours later, Kendall Jenner contradicted Bieber's invitation to kick off closed-toe season by recreating her friend's favorite jeans uniform—down to the sandals.

After a week in London with Jacob Elordi, where wedges or pointy pumps third-wheeled their every outing, Jenner couldn't wait to start her Flip-Flops Fall. She met friends for dinner in the dark denim trend, a long-sleeve black shirt, and matching leather thong sandals.

It appears Jenner brought The Row's City Flip-Flops out of retirement—almost a year after she last styled them publicly. (In contrast, Bieber, Jennifer Lawrence, and Zoë Kravitz wear the $890 slides, released by creative directors Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen in 2023, all the time.) Instead, this year, the model has been hooked on The Row's sold-out Sacha Sandals, a three-inch-tall take on the heeled flip-flops trend.

Despite its at-first-glance simplicity, pairing jeans with a plain shirt and flip-flops is a foolproof combo. No matter how many times Jenner recycles the minimalist combination, it never fails her. She has worn indigo-dyed jeans with thong sandals for years, swapping black shirts for colorful baby tees, white crop tops, and oversized button-downs. The "opposites attract" two-piece doesn't disappear from her regular rotation once cold weather rolls around, either. (It helps when you live in L.A.)

Bieber shares the same affinity for jeans-and-flip-flops outfits. The Rhode founder regularly pairs her favorite straight-leg jeans, including ones from her collaboration with Gap, with everyday basics: black tank tops, white crop tops, and The Row's City Flip-Flops, of course.

Best friends who break seasonal shoe rules together, stay together. All that to say? Not only are my flip-flops back in business (at least until 40-degree days are the norm), I influenced my bestie to wear hers through fall, too. Treat yourself and a fellow fashion girl to the Jenner-coded, jeans-and-flip-flops outfits below.

Shop Flip-Flop Outfits Inspired by Kendall Jenner

When I'm shopping for a new seasonal shoe trend, I'll spend weeks comparing designers and styles before grabbing my credit card. If my house slippers need a refresh, however, I prioritize comfort and don't think twice about the look. But with my go-to It girls wearing the mules trend outside, I think it's time I started slipper shopping the Hailey Bieber Way.

On August 26, she wore backless black shoes with a cool blue V-neck long-sleeve, cropped black trousers, and the celebrity-beloved Chanel Maxi Flap Bag in the trendy forest green. The oversized handbag seems to be a new addition to Bieber's closet—and a detour from her minimalist color palette.

Are Bieber's days of wearing Uggs on the street style scene behind her? Maybe not entirely, but her taste in slippers has also evolved over the years: Slim suede or pony-hair styles with four-figure price tags have been knocking shearling-lined slides off of Bieber's leaderboard.

Late last year, Bieber began building her mules collection. Since flip-flops, high-vamp flats, and loafers from The Row have never done her wrong, the Rhode founder stayed loyal to the Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen-led label. She debuted the pony-hair Penelope Mules—known for their round, loafer-length toe boxes—with a white crop top, a double-breasted overcoat, straight-leg jeans, and the Park Tote from The Row.

It wasn't long before Bieber unboxed another black pair of Penelopes. By March 2026, she swapped the matte calf-skin style for the same silhouette in glossy leather. While on vacation in Japan, they appeared via Instagram alongside wool trousers from The Row and a vintage Gucci leather jacket. Once the Biebers returned to Beverly Hills, she wore the patent Penelopes with a crocheted skirt set in a matching color.

No matter the season, mules have been a mainstay in Bieber's regular off-duty rotation, but the trend's summer-to-fall potential is undeniable. This summer, celebrities like Zoë Kravitz and Vittoria Ceretti endorsed the ballet flats alternative—will they continue the trend into the fall?

While we wait to find out, thanks to Bieber, I'll definitely be more intentional in the slipper shopping department. Who knows, maybe I'll even take them outside.

When it comes to Hollywood siblings, Elle and Dakota Fanning have quickly became fan favorites, thanks to their warm humor and inimitable style. Following a joint appearance with Elle, in which the sisters styled matching pouch bags, Dakota was spotted on a solo outing to Ralph Lauren's Madison Avenue store in New York City wearing a celeb-approved ensemble.

On Saturday, August 22, the star of The Sun Never Sets wore a pair of cigarette jeans in a dark indigo wash with a white T-shirt and an oversized white dress shirt worn like a trench coat.

For accessories, Dakota carried The Row's sold-out Cecily Silk-Satin Tote in Barn Red, of which Kendall Jenner is a known fan. Unfortunately, Dakota's exact bag is no longer available, although The Row currently offers a black cotton Cecily Mini Tote Bag, which retails for $950.

Notably, Dakota's sister Elle has been spotted with a pink version of The Row's enviable Cecily Tote on multiple occasions.

Drawing inspiration from Hailey Bieber—who remains committed to heeled flip-flops in a number of styles—Dakota wore what appears to be Gucci's Vittoria Thong Sandals from the fashion house's Spring/Summer '26 collection.

When Dakota left Ralph Lauren, she added a pair of oversize tortoiseshell sunglasses to her sleek outfit.

Whether she's doing press, attending an event, or shopping on a day off, Dakota never fails to provide style inspiration for her fans.

After taking the jelly shoes trend for a spin in the form of a jelly sneaker hybrid, Hailey Bieber was spotted grabbing dinner while wearing a pair of cloud-like chunky sneakers.

In a clear sign that the chunky sneakers trend is here to stay, Bieber opted for puffy footwear with a wavy, oversized sole. She styled her striking sneakers with a pair of Other Normal's Signature Pants, which feature a low-rise straight-leg silhouette and retail for $99.

A plain white—slightly cropped—T-shirt and an oversize black zip hoodie completed the Rhode founder's casual outfit.

For accessories, Bieber chose a Y2K-inspired pair of Skylrk Wired Headphones, proving that the throwback trend is continuing to gain momentum. Finally, she carried her The Row Large to Go Tote Bag in Black Leather.

Earlier this week, Bieber paired her headphones with a lace-trimmed, asymmetrical-neck cami top from Dolce & Gabbana. The vibrant chartreuse or highlighter yellow shade of the lingerie-adjacent style cleverly matched her wired headphones perfectly.

Basically, Bieber is going all in on Y2K dressing—as well as chunky sneakers—in 2026.

For her latest trip to Sushi Park, an A-list-approved hotspot in West Hollywood, Hailey Bieber traveled back to a simpler, wired headphones-wearing time. Peep the period-accurate, zig-zag headband and slim sunglasses, too. Like the modern cool-girl that she is, though, the Rhode founder finished the throwback look with a trendy lingerie top in Fall 2026's leading yellow color trend.

Marking her third vintage find of the month, following Manolo Blahnik flip-flops and a wedding guest dress from Versace Spring 2023, Bieber grabbed dinner with friends in a lace-trimmed, asymmetrical-neck top from Dolce & Gabbana. While I'm unsure what year the cami is from, the spaghetti-strap style recently sold secondhand for under $150 on eBay.

If you look close enough, you will see that she shade-matched the borderline chartreuse top to the volume button on her wired headphones. Bieber then grounded the electric shade with flared black trousers, matching sandals, and a leather tote bag.

Lace-trimmed tops like these can be found in the archives of Zoë Kravitz, Dua Lipa, Kendall Jenner, Kaia Gerber, and more. Its electric hue, on the other hand, pushed Bieber outside of her minimalist color palette. Perhaps she was influenced by Fall 2026 fashion shows to give it a go.

Mugler's take on the color trend gave a drop-waist, shoulder-padded turtleneck a maximalist makeover. Later, a hooded, one-shoulder cape (texturized with subtle pleating) returned neon yellow to Issey Miyake's runway. Meanwhile, Pierre Cardin stacked the shade over lilac leather leggings.

Greenish yellow is one of the few Spring 2026 color trends that's sticking around for fall. Earlier this year, Sarah Pidgeon tested the tint at the 2026 Met Gala, Olandria Carthen brought it to the 2026 BET Awards, and Zara Larsson's enlisted the shade for her 2026 Grammys skirt set.

Which celebrity will be brave enough to style acid yellow attire next? After placing your bets, peruse similar lace-trimmed tops below.

If you still have scars, literal or figurative, from the jelly shoes of your childhood, you're entitled to some style compensation. What's the payment, you ask? The new-and-improved jelly shoe trend, starring styles that show no signs of blistering the soles of Jennifer Lawrence, Hailey Bieber, and more.

Allow today's famous faces to reintroduce you to jellies. The semi-sheer, glossy shoes, sculpted from soft PVC plastic, date back to the post-World War II leather shortage. The divisive silhouette has been bouncing on and off trendsetter shoe racks since the 1970s, earning endorsements from Thierry Mugler and Jean Paul Gaultier in the '80s. In the '90s, it went mainstream, worn by kids and adults alike. Kirsten Dunst and Gwyneth Paltrow were some of the first celebrities to wear jellies on red carpets. By the 2010s, Lana Del Rey, Kylie Jenner, Solange Knowles, and more styled the everyday shoes to hero-item heights.

Don't be fooled: The newest jelly shoes are a far cry from the fisherman sandals that ripped your feet as a kid. Thanks to upgraded designs, like Chloé's Jelly Mules from the Spring/Summer 2026 show, plastic-inflicted pain isn't the norm anymore. Not only do jelly shoes 2.0 look fresh from Polly Pocket's closet, but they're also as pliable as the doll's rubber dresses. They aren't reserved just for summer, either—they make a great transitional shoe for those in-between days when it's still warm enough for something less covered, but too cool for a true sandal.

It's time to awaken your inner child. See how celebrities are doing the same in the jelly shoe trend below.

Jennifer Lawrence's Mesh Jelly Shoes

Jennifer Lawrence has been openly pro-jellies since 2022, doubling down on the nostalgic look with colorful peony pink and tomato red pairs. Most recently, Lawrence's white off-duty outfit became the perfect blank canvas to spotlight her sold-out mesh style from The Row.

Hailey Bieber's Jelly Sneakers

It's not every day that jellies win over a minimalist like Hailey Bieber, especially in Nike sneaker form. Neon green grids encircled the mesh silhouette, giving her jelly trainers their glossy sheen.

Similar styles haven't earned A-list approval en masse just yet, but 2026's freaky green color trend proves anything is possible. Neon jellies from Merrell and Puma are ripe for the picking.

Kendall Jenner's High-Vamp Jelly Flats

Months before Kylie Jenner paired Chloé's Mules with capris, her older sister, Kendall Jenner, tested the jelly shoe-cropped pants formula in Venice. Much like her travel tote, her translucent high-vamp flats were another sold-out style from The Row's celebrity-beloved catalog. Were they risky airport shoes? Maybe, but that hasn't stopped VIPs from wearing flip-flops during flights, either.

Vittoria Ceretti's Jelly Flip-Flops

Ancient Greek Sandals has a history with the jelly shoe trend. Back in 1957, the Grecian label founded the first PVC footwear factory in Athens. Almost 70 years later, the brand is still leading the jellies revival and is endorsed by fashion girls like Vittoria Ceretti. Earlier this summer, the sheer V-shaped straps on the supermodel's flip-flops gave the staple sandal the jelly treatment.

Barbara Palvin's Jelly Mules

Take it from Barbara Palvin: Jelly shoes aren't to be overlooked in the maternity dressing department. During the 2026 Cannes Film Festival, the mom-to-be elevated her plaid button-down and black capris with Jimmy Choo's Jelly Drop Sandals. The peep-toe mules (and their pregnancy-friendly two-inch-tall heels) are available in aquamarine and amber, but we're partial to Palvin's sparkling, periwinkle-tinted version.

Keke Palmer's Bejeweled Jelly Heels

Keke Palmer's take on the sheer shoe trend, bedazzled baby pink mules by Mach & Mach, delivered a masterclass in Y2K-maxxing. The sold-out stilettos looked even more nostalgic next to the striking lemon-yellow mini dress.

Most of the best-selling bags in Kendall Jenner's The Row collection are also beloved by Hailey Bieber, Jennifer Lawrence, Elle Fanning, and more. Turns out, the Olsen twins' most loyal clients share the same taste in knitwear, too. On August 17, the celebrity-beloved Ophelia Sweater, which first appeared in Jenner's closet years ago, returned to her Instagram feed—in a new, goes-with-everything color.

Jenner wasn't exaggerating when she referred to herself as a "lucky lady" in the caption: She secured the wool-and-cashmere blend crewneck before sizes started to dwindle. The $1,550 sweater comes complete with a ribbed collar, a matching hemline and cuffs, and bell-shaped sleeves. If the black-and-white filter isn't playing tricks on my eyes, Jenner's version is in the creamy white color called "Sand."

While the photographer (could it be Jacob Elordi?) cropped Jenner's pants and shoes from the picture, her oval-shaped sunglasses, canvas tote, and wine glass made the cut. Knowing the minimalist's personal style (and current fashion fixations), she might've stacked straight-leg jeans and high-vamp flats from The Row beneath the intentionally oversized, cozy silhouette.

At this point, The Row's repeat clients are as familiar with the Ophelia Sweater as they are with the Margaux, Park Tote, and Marlo bags. My (unscientific) research suggests the double-layered design has been infiltrating celebrity closets since the end of 2022.

Sofia Richie Grainge, Pamela Anderson, and Lawrence previously tested the "Grey Melange" color with a blazer, white jeans, and Adidas Sambas, respectively. Jenner, on the other hand, has the style in three neutral shades: gray, cobalt blue, and black.

Since launch, the sweater's styling potential has been tested. Back in 2023, Jenner's close friend, Bieber, transformed the thigh-sweeping sweater into a mini dress. She elevated its comfort-first feel with leather Jimmy Choo boots, a belted tote bag by Toteme, and her signature Saint Laurent sunglasses.

Years later, Jenner's other Ophelia Sweaters show no signs of wear and tear. (Shoppers should expect nothing less from a four-figure jumper.) In Dec. 2025, after Margot Robbie, Emma Stone, Ariana Grande, and sister Kylie Jenner debuted their own Ophelias, the 818 founder stayed true to the baggy black knit, wearing it over a white T-shirt, easy-breezy bottoms, and burgundy ballet flats from Reformation.

Will this VIP-adored sweater change your life? Probably not, but if you're wearing cashmere crewnecks as much as Jenner, it might be worth the investment. From booked-and-busy Fashion Months to Sushi Park dinners with her sister, The Ophelia Sweater has become Jenner's chicest confidant.

To see why she adores the ribbed pullover so much, treat yourself to an Ophelia—or a similar style below.

Last weekend, two of summer's most star-studded weddings fell on the same Saturday. Taylor Swift, Sabrina Carpenter, and Phoebe Bridgers celebrated recording engineers Oli Jacobs and Laura Sisk in London. In Malibu, California, gowns by Roberto Cavalli and Versace made Kylie Jenner and Hailey Bieber the best-dressed guests at the wedding of Jordyn Woods and Karl-Anthony Towns.

The It girl and New York Knicks star invited 250-plus guests to attend their black-tie nuptials, but Jenner and Bieber were unmissable in the crowd. First up? Jenner. Stylists Mackenzie and Alexandra Grandquist tracked down a 22-year-old gown from Roberto Cavalli's Spring 2004 collection. The halter-neck number boasted some of Jenner's favorite decorative elements: massive cut-outs that stretched from her shoulders to her hips, and bedazzled detailing, in the form of bands that encircled her bust and waist.

For her finishing touches, the Khy founder used the dress's thigh-high slit to showcase her take on the naked shoe trend. Meanwhile, her boyfriend and Knicks fan, Timothée Chalamet, challenged the formal dress code by pairing a black leather blazer with matching trousers and a blue shirt.

To match Jenner's energy, Bieber ditched fresh-from-the-runway designs for another Italian label's three-year-old collection. The Rhode founder's stylist, Dani Michelle, got her hands on the black column dress that Naomi Campbell modeled in Versace's Fall 2023 fashion show. While silver crystals and sequins adorned the triangular bust and its diagonal straps, the rest of the skirt remained embellishment-free.

Understandably, given the occasion, Campbell's original accessories (patent leather opera gloves and T-strap shoes) didn't make the cut. Instead, Bieber finished her wedding guest outfit with diamond stud earrings, her beloved vintage Gucci horsebit clutch, and peep-toe slingback stilettos. Her husband, Justin Bieber, wore a classic suit and tie.

Luckily for guests with more weddings to attend this year, celebrities have been delivering enough non-bridal style inspiration to last until the season slows down in October.

For a garden ceremony, channel the floral Markarian ballgown Swift danced the night away in a week after her wedding, or the butter yellow look Carpenter wore this weekend. If the Save the Date suggests it's a more formal celebration, shop a selection of Jenner- and Bieber-inspired black-tie dresses below.

Hailey Bieber's ever-expanding flip-flops collection puts my single pair of thong sandals to shame. This summer, while I walked almost 100,000 steps on J.Crew slides, Bieber divided her step-and-repeats among almost 10 different flip-flops from fashion's biggest names like The Row and Toteme, as well as more emerging labels like A.Emery and Jude.

Sandals with V-shaped straps have been stuck to her soles since early 2025. For some celebrities, Jennifer Lawrence and Zoë Kravitz included, The Row's now-iconic Dune Sandal started their flip-flop fixation. But Bieber didn't debut the $750 best-sellers until March 29, 2025, one week after she already broke in Toteme's Leather Flip-Flops. By my (unscientific) count, the kitten heels have completed almost 30 of her street style looks.

Once the Totemes survived Bieber's Coachella test (they came out unscathed), she likely knew she could style the summer essential anywhere. So, more thong sandals from The Row, as well as more affordable options from Zara's sister brand, Massimo Dutti, and Australian label A.Emery started to trickle onto her shoe rack.

After a year of maintaining her pro-flip-flop status, the Rhode founder's take on the heeled sub-trend stood twice as tall. The Row's sold-out, 3.5-inch Sacha Sandals kept up appearances at the 2026 World Cup, the Knicks championship game, and date nights with her husband, Justin Bieber.

Until Bieber started styling the It shoes on repeat, I assumed one all-purpose pair could finish all of my flip-flop outfits. I was wrong. Ahead, get to know (and shop) some of her exact thong sandals.

Hailey Bieber's Toteme Heeled Flip-Flops

Meet the shoes that started it all: Toteme's Leather Heeled Flip-Flops, which have actually grown in value since earning Bieber's endorsement. (Last summer, they were $520. Now, they retail for $560.) For one of their first trips to New York City, the kitten heels shared the spotlight with a timeless black tank top, polka-dot capri pants, and The Row's Cecily Bag.

Hailey Bieber's The Row Dune Flip-Flops

Flip-flops are the perfect casual shoe for a post-Pilates errand run—Bieber's Dune Sandals from The Row just happened to be $750. Since her exact color combination, black straps with beige rubber soles, isn't available anymore, pair yoga pants and a windbreaker with the equally popular black-and-red option. (The latter features one of summer 2026's leading color combinations, after all.)

Hailey Bieber's The Row City Flip-Flops

Last fall, The Row's City Flip-Flops became a hot ticket item as fast as their rubber predecessor. Kendall Jenner and Bieber sampled the black leather slides around the same time, wearing them with athleisure, simple sundresses, and more model off-duty uniforms. Here, Bieber elevated the $890 shoes with an office-ready cropped trench coat, flared trousers, and The Row's Henri Bag.

Hailey Bieber's A.Emery Kinto Flip-Flops

Yes, Bieber's flip-flop collection got a high-priced start, but now, she's dipping her toe into wallet-friendly finds. Earlier this summer, Bieber sourced A.Emery (an Australian brand beloved by Taylor Swift, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Olivia Culpo) for the $200 Kinto Sandal. Square-toe soles, thicker straps, and the democratic price tag prove they're different enough to warrant another purchase.

Hailey Bieber's The Row Sacha Flip-Flops

The 3.5-inch-tall stilettos on The Row's Sacha Sandals didn't stop Bieber from declaring them her new go-to flip-flops. She's worn the heeled sandals with everything, from lingerie slip dresses to denim trends, but they show no signs of wear and tear. With multiple appearances on L.A.'s street style scene, maybe Bieber influenced Kaia Gerber and Jenner to board the Sacha Sandal bandwagon, too.

Hailey Bieber's Massimo Dutti Flip-Flops

For her second foray into wallet-friendly flip-flops, Bieber went shopping at Zara's sister brand, Massimo Dutti. The $180 sandals, which landed the No. 6 spot on Lyst's quarterly "hottest products" ranking, traveled from Beverly Hills to Seoul, Korea with her. Bieber initially styled the cross between wedges and kitten heels in black, but before long, she showcased the creamy white color alongside a black athleisure look.

Hailey Bieber's Jude Flip-Flops

At this point in her thong sandal styling journey, Bieber is stepping outside of her silhouette comfort zone. For a recent Instagram story, she wore the baseball tee trend with the Gap x Hailey Bieber jeans and the Rooty Sandal from French footwear brand Jude. From the front, they appeared as classic heels. This was proven wrong when, in true supermodel style, she made sure to flaunt the striking pyramid-shaped stilettos from the side.

Hailey Bieber adopted the heeled flip-flops trend long before it became summer 2026's hero shoe. That's not to say her taste in thong sandals stopped evolving. On August 11, Bieber debuted her most unusual take on the trend yet: Massimo Dutti's cross between wedges and kitten heels.

Bieber first wore the Spanish brand's best-seller in March 2026. She got her money's worth when she took the black Mid-Heel Toe Sandals around Beverly Hills, Hollywood, and even Seoul, Korea.

Following the $180 flip-flops landing in the No. 6 spot on Lyst's quarterly "hottest products" ranking, the Rhode founder treated herself to a new pair in another works-with-anything, summer shade: creamy white.

In case you didn't notice earlier this year, the soles aren't as flat as The Row City Flip-Flops she's still loyal to. The tapered 2-centimeter-tall heels give the V-strapped shoes a wedge sandal treatment. Perhaps that unusual silhouette switch is exactly what secured them the sixth-place slot on the fashion search engine's list. Bieber's new color is seconds away from selling out, but her original black option is still widely available. (The flip-flops also come in strawberry red suede, if you're feeling bold.)

To finish her latest flip-flops 'fit, Bieber chose an equally casual camisole from CSB, the Australian brand's matching yoga pants, and a white zip-up hoodie, which she tied around her hips.

Bieber isn't alone in her Massimo Dutti devotion: While in Saint Tropez last May, Bella Hadid styled a tank top dress, sold-out basket bag, and flip-flops, all from Zara's sister brand. For those who prefer a more classic sandal silhouette, Hadid's black leather sandals from the Spanish label retail for the same wallet-friendly price.

Thanks to Bieber's support, the hybrid flip-flops jumped from the middle of The Lyst Index to the top of shoe collector wishlists. If you can't secure Bieber's exact shoes in your size, peruse similar styles from Mango, Reformation, St. Agni, and more below.

It's no secret that Hailey Bieber owns a huge array of sneakers, which includes everything from Miu Miu ballet-inspired styles to rare Nike collaborations and New Balance's Gender Inclusive 530s. Unsurprisingly, the Rhode founder appears to have embraced a burgeoning trend in the form of a hybrid jelly shoe sneaker, which just so happens to be available in an eye-catching neon shade.

On August 7, Justin Bieber's wife was spotted in Beverly Hills wearing a pair of Nike REJUVEN8 Run OG Jelly Sneakers in a Light Lemon Twist shade. Per WWD, the sneaker features "a playful translucent exoskeleton made of PVC." The outlet shared, "Inside the webbed shell is a newly removable mesh bootie, allowing it to be worn with your feet visible or covered."

Basically, if you're a fan of vibrant sneaker styles and the reinvigoration of the jelly shoe trend, Bieber's latest footwear needs to be on your radar.

Bieber paired her striking sneakers with an Alo Yoga Sway Full Zip Hoodie in Black, and the brand's Alosoft High-Waist 7/8 Highlight Leggings.

For accessories, the Rhode founder opted for her Vivid 90s Style 37 Sunglasses and a Zigzag Headband from Kitsch, available in both black and tortoiseshell.

If you've been on the fence about the return of the jelly sandal trend, Bieber's latest outfit might just be the sign you were waiting for.

Until now, I believed Hailey Bieber placed a strict price cap on the flip-flop trend: her favorite pairs (usually from The Row) haven't dipped below $900. Turns out, to test more wallet-friendly price points, all Bieber needed was a flip-flop stylish enough to continue her cool-girl shoe streak. Meet A.Emery's Kinto Sandals, which cost $200.

On August 6, she enlisted the leather slides for a sushi date with her husband in L.A. She wore the black sandals with white jeans, a black scoop-neck shirt with three-quarter-length sleeves, and oval sunglasses.

Don't let the square-toe soles and soft leather fool you: these aren't The Row's City Sandals that Bieber, Kendall Jenner, Jennifer Lawrence, and Zoë Kravitz couldn't stop wearing last summer. The Kintos belong to the emerging Australian brand, which already earned endorsements from Taylor Swift, Gwyneth Paltrow, Elsa Hosk, and Olivia Culpo. (Marie Claire's editor-in-chief, Nikki Ogunnaike, also counts the heeled Lulu Sandals among her go-to styles.)

Since A.Emery's debut in 2017, lead designer Anna McLaren has expanded the catalog into ready-to-wear clothing, though the brand is still primarily known for its made-for-minimalists footwear.

This isn't the first time Bieber wore the style from the Melbourne-based label. In June, she tested the compatibility of the Kintos, which also come in suede and brown colors, with her favorite off-duty uniform of sandals and jeans in L.A.

Toward the end of July, she boarded a yacht in Greece with the pair and her raffia The Row bag. Days later, fans spotted the shoes again, this time in Sicily. Who knew $200 flip-flops could pose such a threat to her The Row footwear obsession?

Other open-toe styles from A.Emery have captivated A-listers, too. Way back in May 2023, Swift styled a white button-down and black Daisy dukes with the label's Zahara Leather Sandals. The crisscross style, which retailed for $190 before selling out, allowed the pop star to test-drive the toe-ring sandal trend years before her friend Selena Gomez.

While you await Bieber's next potential $200 flip-flops 'fit, shop similar silhouettes from A.Emery and beyond.
