Jennie Pays Homage to Another Superstar With Her Shoes
Jennie is, without a doubt, a star (judging by the throng of fans waiting for her after her dinner with Lisa in New York last night). But her off-duty outfit nodded to another person in her cohort of mega-celebrities: Bad Bunny. The singer headed back to her hotel dressed in a white graphic tee and low-slung black trousers, which she styled with a pair of sleek, futuristic silver sunglasses and a pair of black Adidas sneakers with white stripes. BeautifulSignatureIG / BACKGRIDUSA Jennie's ballerina sneakers hailed from Bad Bunny's recent collaboration with Adidas. While she opted for a more neutral colorway with her black and white pair, the Puerto Rican singer has repped his shoes loud and proud—and that includes the bright colorway. While supporting the Knicks during the 2025 NBA Playoffs, Bad Bunny opted for a pair of marigold Adidas Ballerinas with black stripes (very Kill Bill).

Vibram's ‘Ugly Shoe' Is Officially One of 2025's Hottest Items
Fashion's toe obsession has officially reached new split-toe trend that's been quietly bubbling for years just hit the mainstream - proof: Lyst's Q2 2025 Index ranks Vibram's FiveFingers at number five. In a list that reflects what people are actually searching, saving, and (more importantly) buying, that's no small feat. It's hardly a surprise when you zoom out. Fashion has been flirting with feet for a while now. There were the cult-classic Maison Margiela Tabi's (first released in 1988, now basically a street style mainstay), the rise of toe-ring sandals, and the performance-meets-fashion Nike Air Rift, which split the big toe for running functionality long before the internet knew what a 'tabi core' girl was. The five-toe shoe, often mocked for its anatomical oddness, has been around since 2006 - but like most things that start off niche or downright weird (see: Crocs, trail runners, Gorpcore), it just needed time. The Japanese split-toe socks laid the groundwork, and Balenciaga made its own high-fashion case for toe silhouettes in its AW20 Paris Fashion Week show. Still, the masses weren't quite ready. Now, they are. ©Paris Fashion Week Womenswear Fall/Winter 2020/2021/ Getty Images What was once a purely functional shoe for barefoot-style running or hiking is now cropping up in stylish corners of Instagram, editorial shoots, and IRL. And while at first I couldn't get past the uncanny toe shape, I've started to come around. Blame it on clever styling: paired with loose tailoring, tube socks, or a miniskirt, the look is... actually cool? Plus, it also has the celebrity vote and has been seen on Doechii and BLACKPINK'S Jennie. Disruptive, yes. But that's the point. This is individualism in footwear form fashion's answer to going against the grain. Shoutout to the ugly shoe theory - there's something kind of genius about wearing a shoe that deliberately repels the mainstream while simultaneously being one of the most talked-about items on the internet. I used to scroll past. Now? I'm one shopping cart away from joining the toe cult. 1. Vibram V-Soul FiveFingers Women's Slipper 2. Vibram FiveFingers V-Aqua Women's Shoes 3.

Park said at the event that one of his favourite places is the area surrounding Gwanghwamun and Gyeongbokgung. 'But I hope you'll also explore regions outside of Seoul.

'I love riding a Ddareungi along the Han River,' the star said. 'If you haven't tried it yet, I'd really like to introduce you to it.'
