Tracee Ellis Ross Tries the Ugly Shoe Trend With "Shapeshifter" Heels

We can always count on Tracee Ellis Ross to take fashionable risks, and her outfit at the Amazon NewFronts event in New York City was no exception. On May 3, the actor dressed to impress in a pair of white Dries Van Noten pumps with a square leather toe that curved so that half of her foot remained exposed. "SHAPESHIFTER" she captioned an Instagram gallery showing off her look as she posed by a large windowsill to highlight her asymmetrical heels. Styled by Karla Welch, Ross wore the statement-making shoes with a structural JW Anderson jumpsuit so that her entire outfit emphasized unique shapes and careful construction.

The "ugly" shoe trend has maintained popularity through the years, not because people legitimately believe their shoes are ugly, but because fun, standout footwear can be trickier to style. Ross isn't the first star to dip her toes (a few of them anyway) in and give us a master class, with Rita Ora wearing platform UGG slides and everyone from Gabrielle Union to Ziwe stepping out in Miu Miu's polarizing thong boots.

When it comes to footwear, Ross has always chosen to take a walk on the wild side. At Paris Fashion Week last year, she wore foldover denim heels with material bunched all around her ankles. Even bolder, she attended the 2021 NAACP Image Awards wearing towering Schiaparelli platforms complete with gold-tipped toes. We can't wait to see which controversial shoe she struts in next.

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...
