Are You Brave Enough To Wear Kylie's 5 Inch Platform Flip-Flops IRL?
No, it's not just you…flip-flops are everywhere. Dating back to Ancient Egypt, 4000 BC, the no-fuss slip-on shoe is just as relevant now as it was 6,025 years ago. The double straps are synonymous with summer, a humble companion for beach days. It's no wonder more A-listers have been leaning on the simple silhouette to elevate their outfits - Hailey Bieber, especially. She's swapped the flat version for a heeled one, styling it with her trusty Capris, papped pushing Jack Blues in a pram - proof of their comfort.
Kylie Jenner herself has a long-standing love affair with flip-flops. A few notable gems in her collection include: the viral red rubber-soled sandals from The Row (which also just topped Q2's Lyst Index at number one), the Gimaguas x Havaianas studded flip-flops, and Balenciaga's Bal Shoes - also known as the 'pedicure sandal.' So, if not her, then who?
Taking to her Instagram Stories, the business mogul snapped herself in the 5-inch shoes and captioned the photo: 'The energy I'm bringing to my shoot today,' pairing the skyscrapers with a very simplesports bra and tracksuit bottoms. Which, in fact, might be the best way to wear the shoe - minimal movement and photos only. Because, practicality-wise, you can imagine it's hard to manoeuvre with those blocks strapped to the bottom of your feet. These shoes can't help but remind us Lizze Mcguire with a sprinkle of Bratz energy.
If you dare to try, the 3D flip-flop retails for $375 and is available for pre-order in grey and black. We actually spotted the wacky shoes on Cia Nia Wrigh (@simply.cie) a few days before we saw Jenner wearing them. We can certainly see this shoe turning into a social moment - red carpets, magazine pages, fashion week, and anywhere else that calls for attention. With that being said: do you dare to try ERL's 5-Inch Flip-Flop in IRL? 1.

Hailey Bieber flashes legs at Kylie Jenner's birthday as she reveals famous friend ignored her FaceTime call
was all legs in her latest Instagram post. The catwalk queen displayed her endless limbs in a new post documenting her 'perfect weekend' celebrating Kylie Jenner's 28th birthday. Her long, toned legs were slightly crossed as Hailey sat upon a rustic bench during Kylie 's bash. She was clad in an itty bitty polka dot mini dress with sheer sleeves and a glass of red wine in hand. While her post garnered plenty of 'likes', Hailey isn't always so successful when it comes to capturing everyone's attention - the star also revealed her friend Kendall Jenner failed to pick up her FaceTime call. In the carousel, Hailey, 28, included a photo of her unsuccessful attempt at reaching Kendall via the app. 'KENDALL is unavailable,' the screen announced, along with a photo of Kendall's profile photo, which was of an ostrich. The carousel of images provided fans a glimpse into Kylie's birthday party. Hailey, who shares a son with husband Justin Bieber, stood outside on a grassy yard with a glass in hand, an assortment of pillows and blankets piled along the floor beside her. In another photo, she stretched out her body in a yard, her white top showing off her svelte midriff as it rode up her torso. The 'perfect weekend' also included plenty of scrumptious food. She posted photos of her hearty breakfast, consisting of waffles, hash browns, eggs, bacon, a chia bowl, and French toast. The weekend's menu also included a plate of pasta. During the bash, she also got in touch with her artistic side. She showed off a painting she did of a sunshine face, signing it off with her initials at the bottom corner. Kylie celebrated her 28th birthday with an elegant dinner party thrown by her sister Kendall, skipping the usual over-the-top gatherings often favored by celebrities. The reality star received lots of online messages from her large family to mark the day and the gathering of friends was the icing on the cake. Kendall, 29, pulled out all the stops, setting an elegant table for the al fresco meal, with a white table clothes, decorated with candles, flowers and fresh tomatoes. The Mediterranean buffet included a simple arugula and tomato salad, stuffed peppers, olives, pita bread, cucumber salad, couscous and more. The model tagged Chef Khristianne U as the creator of the luscious looking food. 'Best birthday ever!!!!!!! I'm so grateful to my family and friends for making this weekend so special and full of love. 28 feels so good!!!!!' Kylie captioned a sweet slideshow full of party pictures.

Princess Andre tipped to become the UK's answer to Kylie Jenner with her budding career as a makeup mogul
Princess Andre has reportedly set her sights on becoming the UK's answer to Kylie Jenner with her own billion pound make-up empire. The daughter of Peter Andre and Katie Price, who has just turned 18, has given fans a new insight into her hopes for the future with her new TV show, which follows her attempts to establish herself as a makeup mogul. Princess is also said to have made it clear that while her mum, 47, made her name as a glamour model, she has no intentions of following in her footsteps. An insider told The Sun: 'Princess has got ambitions of being the next Kylie Jenner. 'Everyone's been saying they can see that happening, with her own TV show and a make-up range coming out. She also has lots more deals in the pipeline to consider. 'When Katie says that Princess is "following in her footsteps", she isn't.' The Princess Diaries follows the youngster's life as she navigates launching her own makeup line - as well as the challenges that have naturally come with growing up in the spotlight. In one scene from the new show, Princess, in stark contrast to her body-confident mum, actually worries that her dress could be see-through in any way. The source said: 'She is gonna be like the next big thing, someone who young people can relate to.' Their confidence in Princess's popularity has not been in vain either and her show was number one on ITV after its launch on Sunday. However, despite finding early fame through her parents, Katie has vowed not to promote her daughter's show because she believes she has been cast aside by the 18-year-old's management team. Katie, who does not appear in The Princess Diaries, said she feels 'disrespected and disregarded' by the talent agents who also notably work with her ex-husband Peter Andre. She said: 'I don't need it rubbed in my face of everyone playing happy families.' The Princess Diaries follows the youngster's life as she navigates launching her own makeup line - as well as the challenges that have naturally came with growing up in the spotlight - Princess is pictured here as a baby with her parents and brother Junior, now 20 Katie stressed: 'I want the best for Junior and Princess, always, I'll never get in the way of that. 'But what hurts my feelings, and it does upset me, is when your kids grow up, you go to their assemblies, you go to their Christmas things, you go to their awards, you go to their football matches or gymnastics, you're involved in everything they do. 'Knowing what my career has been, Princess has taken that same path, trying to do the same as I've done, which I absolutely love and adore of Princess. 'But I have not been allowed to go on any photoshoot, no signings or Superdrug openings or anything like that. 'I'm not allowed and I'm not welcome. They think I am trash basically.'
