Of Course Jennifer Lawrence Can Elevate Ugly-Cute Clogs

As we march steadily toward ugly-cute shoe summer, one pair is leading the pack. I'd love to tell you that shoe is the Maison Margiela Tabi (I personally own three different pairs), but that's currently in second place. It's falling behind the humble, but mighty, garden clog.
While Rihanna, Dua Lipa, and Doechii do their part to further the freaky toe-shoe agenda, Jennifer Lawrence has been pioneering orthopedic clogs. Though she already owns multiple slip-on styles, the actor just debuted a brand new pair while on a May 29 walk through New York City.
The Hunger Games star wore a collection of her favorite casual basics on the outing, styling a $1,550 sweater from The Row with a pair of gray sweatpants. Her high-low energy only built from there. Lawrence added on a new pair of navy blue clogs (not to be confused with her other pair of navy blue clogs) that matched her four-figure knit perfectly.

Lawrence's final additions were a luxurious knee-length ivory leather coat, Garrett Leight sunglasses, and her favorite leopard print Prada bag—a vintage find she's been wearing on repeat. It's her go-to swap when she wants a break from her rare Lady Bag by The Row.
Between her street style and her recent slate of red carpet appearances, Lawrence has freed herself from the shackles of painful high heels. She has long been a champion of footwear comfort, famously wearing flip-flops on the Cannes Film Festival red carpet back in 2023. At home in New York City, she's often the first to try a freaky—and 10,000 step-day friendly—new shoe trend. Lawrence was early to styling The Row's caged jelly sandals last summer; she likewise had a head start on Adidas' low-profile Taekwondo boxing sneakers.
With her latest pair of clogs, Lawrence has left societal standards of shoe beauty in the past. She's instead paving the way for an ugly-shoe future—one step at a time.

As fans reject Switch 2 game-key cards, former Nintendo marketing leads say it's unlikely that physical games will ever "100% go away," because "they realize the importance of that"
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. In the buildup to the launch of the Switch 2, not everyone has been filled with pure, unadulterated hype. A lot of people are seriously unhappy about the new game-key cards – a strange blend of physical and digital games that are being offered as the physical version of many (but not all) upcoming Switch 2 games, which former Nintendo marketing leads Kit Ellis and Krysta Yang have been discussing in their latest video. Game-key cards give users a full download of a game rather than allowing them to simply play it right out of the box, which has prompted concerns about game preservation, and generally hasn't been met particularly warmly by those who value physical media. Former Nintendo Minute hosts Ellis and Yang – who previously served as Nintendo of America's former director of social media marketing and original content and senior manager of creator relations and original content, respectively – have now shared their own thoughts on game-key cards, and offered some extra insight into Nintendo's potential thought process (below). To do so, they also spoke to another former Nintendo employee, who's not named in the video, but is apparently someone who worked on the company's retail team – specifically on the program that saw full game download codes sold on eShop gift cards in physical stores. Game-key cards, Ellis points out, can be seen as an "extension" to this idea. "What they had to say was, you know, even going back to the [gift] cards that you can get now, Nintendo really wanted a physical representation of a digital product in a retail store," Ellis explains. "Which makes sense, because Nintendo really values the retail channels, more so than a lot of other gaming companies." Furthermore, he mentions that the original game download gift card idea "was really widely adopted within the company, nobody was really questioning it, it was like 'Yeah this this seems like a great idea for us to kind of have it both ways.'" Yang notes that "they make so much more money off of the digital games," so "of course they're going to be looking at other solutions to kind of fill that gap, or even try to transition people over to an all-digital world." Interestingly, Ellis notes that "nobody really had very high expectations" for the gift card games, "but it went on to become a very popular program," and it certainly wasn't rejected by consumers. "That obviously gave them the confidence of like, 'Alright, something like this, this is actually maybe more in line with how people are getting things now, want to buy things, want to use things, than maybe we thought.'" But if game-key cards do sell well, what could this mean for the future? Well, the former employee Ellis and Yang spoke to says we shouldn't rule out the idea that some first-party Nintendo games could eventually get the same game-key card treatment, rather than getting regular physical cartridges. However, one key point that the three ex-Nintendo staff agree on is that it's highly unlikely the company is looking to phase out physical games entirely. "This person was also very clear in saying like there is going to be some form of physical," Yang adds. "The physical nature of video games is not something that's going away, and Nintendo is not going to take that away. They realize the importance of that." Ellis later adds, "I can't see the physical games vanishing completely," while Yang says we'll have to "see this initial batch of sales" and how they might "inform the future decisions," but "I don't think that physical is ever going to 100% go away, I don't think Nintendo will ever do that. "Talk about someone that knows their audience, they absolutely understand the audience, that their most dedicated audiences that just want this because they have this emotional tie to their brand, and they want to cultivate that. So I don't think that they're going to go out of their way to, you know, sever that bond." Looking for more Nintendo Switch 2 news?

Rihanna's Classics Return As Her New Single Vanishes Almost Immediately
Last week, the world was treated to a new song by Rihanna, which is a fairly rare occurrence these days. The singer is otherwise preoccupied with being a mother and running her massively successful cosmetics brand, Fenty Beauty, but she does deliver a track or two here and there, and they are usually associated with film projects. "Friend of Mine" is set to be featured in the upcoming animated Smurfs film, which is expected later this summer. While there was plenty of excitement when the tune was announced, it didn't prove to be a massive commercial success. Just days after its debut, the cut has already faded, while several of Rihanna's time-tested smashes are back. Two of Rihanna's most popular songs reappear on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart this week. The pair rebounds together and sit side-by-side, as "Don't Stop the Music" reenters the list of the bestselling tracks in those genres at No. 36, while "Love the Way You Lie," one of her collaborations with Eminem, is back at No. 37. "Don't Stop the Music" and "Love the Way You Lie" rank among Rihanna's 14 No. 1s on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart. Nearly half of the 33 tracks she's pushed into the top 10 on the genre-only tally have spent time in the highest spot, and most have racked up more than one frame on the throne. Rihanna currently fills three spaces on the 40-rung roster. "Stay," her collaboration with Mikky Ekko and a former runner-up, dips from No. 24 to No. 27, and is joined this frame by both 'Don't Stop the Music' and 'Love the Way You Lie.' "Friend of Mine" didn't reach the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart, as it was classified under a different genre by the Official Charts Company. Instead, it launched at No. 19 on the Official Dance Singles chart — but it can no longer be found on that ranking. In fact, even though "Friend of Mine" opened on four song rosters across the U.K. just days ago, it now appears on none of them. The tune started at No. 72 on the Official Singles chart, No. 75 on the Official Singles Downloads list, and No. 79 on the Official Singles Sales ranking. It only managed one frame on each tally, at least so far. That's quite a stark contrast when compared to tracks like "Stay" and "Love the Way You Lie," which have both racked up more than 100 weeks on the Official Hip-Hop and R&B Singles chart.

Did Kendall Jenner Just Wear the Perfect Outfit?
Kendall Jenner might have just given us a solution to one of our greatest sartorial predicaments. We all have those mornings: Where picking an outfit seems like an insurmountable task, nothing is working, there's a pile of rejected clothes on the floor/bed/chair, and the clock is ticking. Next time you find yourself in this pinch consider mimicking the model's latest look. Last night, Jenner dined out at her go-to spot, Sushi Park, where she donned a timeless outfit: An open blue and white striped button up, which was layered over a white crewneck tee and French tucked into a pair of crisp, straight-leg indigo jeans that landed exactly at her ankle. The lowkey 'fit works for any age and any gender, but Jenner added some touches that made it feel distinctly here, too. PGP / BACKGRIDUSA Jenner accessorized her outfit with some of her tried-and-true pieces: A navy blue Ralph Lauren baseball cap and a pair of skinny black rectangular sunglasses to go incognito, a pair of black leather flip-flops, and The Row's Gabriel bag in black leather. While Jenner also counts the oversized Margaux clutch and its sister bag, the Marlo, and the Cecily silk accordion bag among her collection, she's been spotted carrying the less structured catch-all tote in recent months. But one needn't break the bank to dress like Kendall Jenner. The best part of her style is its replicability, no matter the budget. Next time you've hit the wall, fashion-wise, try hitting reset with a classic jeans, tee, and button up. You can't go wrong.
