Birkenstocks Get the Luxury Treatment In a New Collaboration With Dior

In the midst of Mens' Fashion Week in Paris, a glimpse at the footwear on the Dior runway stopped me dead in my tracks: Are they be wearing Birkenstocks? Like really luxe Birkenstocks? A little while later, an email from Dior PR confirmed my suspicions. Dior partnered with Birkenstock to launch their own collaboration, which they aptly debuted on the winter 2022 runway. The whole lineup of new winter looks was, in fact, finished with a pair of Dior by Birkenstock clogs, all crafted in the same "Dior gray" and neutrals. Chic.

The iconic brands partnered for the first time on this collaboration, introducing two reinvented Birkenstock classics. Both the Tokio mules and the Milano sandals were given the Dior treatment, rendered in felt and suede, and finished in the same seasonal palette that designer Kim Jones chose for the winter clothes. There are also elegant nods to the Dior heritage - a tribute to Monsieur Dior's love of gardening with the function-meets-fashion rubber details and a version of the Tokio mule that comes covered with floral embroidery. There's also a fitting tribute to the Dior saddle bag via the shoes' hardware. Overall, the designs point to, as the brand relayed in their press release, "a contemporary ode to function and elegance." And, as the collaboration relates to larger fashion trends, an indication that comfortable footwear is here to stay.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...

Katy Perry Takes Inspiration From "Kill Bill" in Yellow Moto Jacket and Low-Rise Jeans

Katy Perry is making the press rounds ahead of the upcoming season of "American Idol." On March 28, the competition judge and singer was spotted leaving "Good Morning America" in casual, off-duty street style that turned heads. She wore distressed, low-rise R13 Denim jeans that sat at her hips, as well as a white baby tee under a cropped leather Balenciaga jacket . With its thick black stripes running down the sleeves, the yellow race jacket was reminiscent of Uma Thurman 's iconic tracksuit in "Kill Bill." Wearing an assortment of rings on each of her left fingers, Perry also carried a yellow coffee cup with her other hand to match her jacket. As for the rest of her cool outfit, which was curated by stylist Tatiana Waterford , pointed black heels peeked out from the floor-length denim and sporty cat-eye sunglasses shielded the singer's eyes. The edgy ensemble was one of three outfits she wore on Tuesday. Perry arrived on the morning-show set ...
