Rita Ora Brings Back This Controversial "Ugly" Shoe Trend From the 2000s

Rita Ora is starting spring off early, wearing white platform UGG slides while out and about in Los Angeles. The 32-year-old "You Only Love Me" singer rocked all of the classics: a white cotton crop top, low-rise boyfriend jeans, a leather jacket, and a black Miu Miu bag, accessorized with sunglasses and a chunky silver chain choker around her neck. But her UGG Aww Yeah sandals were what stood out - and though February may be the coldest month of the year, she's clearly not letting a midwinter chill ruin her vibe, proving that winter whites refer to more than just cozy sweaters and scarves. In fact, on a mild morning in LA, it can be completely comfortable to slip your pedicured toes into open-toe shoes.

Ora's look is polarizing for more than just her seasonal choice, however. The early-aughts introduction of UGG as the "ugly shoe," by way of the brand's iconic slip-on shearling bootie, has long since been a topic of debate. Either beloved or loathed by many, UGG has expanded its repertoire with the recent resurgence of trends from the 2000s, like Juicy Couture tracksuits, ruched crop tops, and more. Ora is clearly an UGG fan, because she posted a photo of the street style image on her Instagram Stories, writing "Ugg" with a white heart.

Ora is having quite the moment in the spotlight lately, planning for the release of new music, as well as confirming her summer marriage to Taika Waititi. She performed at a pre-Grammys party last week in a totally naked dress and appeared on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" while wearing a Barbiecore lingerie-inspired look from Versace that was reminiscent of Madonna's "Like a Virgin" costume. While this recent errand outfit is decidedly more subdued, she still found a way to show a little skin, by way of her slashed tee and low waistband.

Ahead, check out her throwback footwear, and pick up the exact pair for yourself if you, too, are team UGG.

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...
