It’s the classic problem with social media and celebrity-dom they will always be something you can’t be. Once you put their outfit on, there’s a moment of realization that you still don’t look like them. Hadid wears vintage clothing and thrashed sneakers all the time. These influencers suggest that fashion is no longer only about brand names and status. Cheaper and vintage alternatives seem easily purchasable for those who want to steal their look. Their outfits don’t include flashy logos. This version of the “it-girl” who can be undone and real is only a facade. So why isn't this new fashion trend very revolutionary at all? Maybe it’s because most “it-girls” still have lighter skin and are tall, skinny and wealthy, but the issue goes beyond that. Now they’re pitching a style that makes it excusable to look like you’re doing a walk-of-shame on a Tuesday afternoon. It feels like a leap away from industry beauty standards of having to always look put together. Everything that Devon, Bella, and their circle wear instantly becomes a new wardrobe essential. Hadid can take credit for the resurgence of the Adidas Sambas, leg warmers, leather bombers and many other trends. Their style isn’t isolated to them: people are starting to catch on. They’re intentionally dressing ugly, maybe even ironically. Nothing gets more Y2K than a mall shopping spree.Īlthough Y2K is on the rise, this style can be attributed to more than these “it-girls” following trends. She paired her Louis Vuitton Speedy with various acquired shopping bags. In a recent Instagram post, Devon posed in a mall bathroom wearing calf-length ballerina shorts, a matching top and face-covering sunglasses. Their iconic paparazzi photos often catch them in velour tracksuits, low-waisted denim and dad-caps. The obvious visual reference is the hot, trashy 2000s: think Y2K paparazzi pictures of Britney Spears, Paris Hilton and Kim Kardashian. It looks like she either came from ballet class or just got dressed at a Hollywood tourist shop. The cardigan, although not exactly like Bella's, was a close find from Madewell that matched my black and blue Eloquii snakeskin boots (from the 'fit above because gorgeous, gorgeous girls rewear pieces) perfectly.This new it-girl is care-free, dressing in whatever she wants. I sized up to achieve a baggier feel and have managed to wear the jeans three other days outside of this one as well. The jeans I’m wearing are Eloquii and, truthfully, they are perfect. It’s also incredibly difficult to find “oversized” pieces, which Bella wears a lot of, especially when you need oversized of a size that seems to already be considered oversized to its creators. I’d Google search intensely the descriptors of each item, find something of similar styling, and boom, be saddened when the largest size carried is an L. A lot of this process of finding similar pieces to Bella was me getting my hopes up. I found several similar options to her turtleneck that were darling, but of course, they didn’t come in my size. The first piece I looked for was a closely similar style of turtle neck that pushed out, similar to Bella. Our final look of the week was another simple in theory, slightly more complex in practice. So mark your calendars for the launch since getting a pair of UGG shoes has become an actual mission! It is the same silhouette as the Platform style, but this version has been updated to feature the braid design detail that you see in the Tasman style. As we shared earlier, this specific pair of UGG boots have been sold out for months, but UGG will introduce a similar alternative, the Classic Ultra Mini Braid, on January 16. This look was fun, and the UGG platform minis are a staple piece in my closet now. I opted for a leather shearling jacket from UGG and being that it was definitely 30✯ outside in NYC when I wore this (that's -1,1✬ for everyone else), I was grateful for a little more winter coverage. The original jacket Bella wears is an oversized western one from Opening Ceremony. Now, will I ever suggest wearing tiny white shorts to your place of work? Absolutely not. As a larger girl, I don’t always choose the look that’s riskier, but this was a fun moment to really step outside of the box and really push my confidence. That said, personally, this was the look I was most fearful of. Rocking uber-tiny white panty-like shorts with a leather jacket, UGG boots, and scrunch socks is such a power move. Bella truly knows how to be a showstopper. This look will always go down as a personal favorite just because of how chaotic it feels.
