Basic, But Never Boring—Why Canvas Sneakers Are Having a Resurgence
Simple in design and easy to wear, the best canvas sneakers are shoe closet essentials—and perennial classics that never lose their appeal. Despite the comings and goings of seasonal sneaker trends, you can always count on canvas styles as a solid choice, thanks to their breathable fabrication and versatility in styling. Vogue's Favorite Canvas Sneakers Recently, Natalie Portman was spotted on the streets of New York City in the iconic Ked canvas Champion (a favorite of Taylor Swift and Emma Stone, as well), inspiring us to dig up a fresh crop of canvas sneakers to compliment our end-of-summer wardrobes. She paired the simple lace-ups with an oversized T-shirt and sweatpants, demonstrating their effortless, downtown ease—but these needn't be reserved for only off-duty ensembles. Jennifer Lawrence has been spotted a few times wearing the Vans Authentic sneaker in canvas, styling them with everything from oversized, button-down shirts and baggy blue jeans, to chic suiting separates, and tailored leather jackets. Olivia Rodrigo keeps her low-top Converse on rotation, wearing them regularly with easy basics such as fitted tanks and khaki pants during the day. Gigi Hadid, another noted fan, has a penchant for Vans slip-ons, which she uses to anchor her effortless sneaker-and-dress combinations. Whatever your mood or style preference, remember to keep things simple. A clean and classic, white or ecru model goes a long way. You'll find plenty in our edit, including preppy classics from Sperry and Polo Ralph Lauren, designer takes from Toteme and The Row, plus all the aforementioned celeb-approved favorites. Below, shop the best canvas sneakers to take you through the end of summer, straight into fall.

Natalie Portman, Mila Kunis, and Darren Aronofsky on 15 Years of Black Swan
Aronofsky: I wanted to bring a documentary vibe to the film. I couldn't think of another horror film in this vein that was shot with a handheld camera. I thought it might take away from the intensity of a scene because the look of it sorta always reminds you there's someone operating the camera. It was a bit of a risk, but it allowed us to break that fourth wall of how one typically shoots theater, and actually go onstage to dance with Natalie. We had to do a lot of takes with a lot of repetition, and it was pretty physically tough on the two of them. Were there any scenes you found particularly challenging? Kunis: We would shoot those dancing scenes for hours, and I had bruises all over my ribs just from being lifted over and over again. I also dislocated my shoulder pretty early in the production and thought I was completely screwed, but Darren sent me to an acupuncturist and I somehow came out totally fine. Photo: Courtesy of Searchlight Pictures Portman: The only scene that was quite hard to shoot was when Mila and I hooked up. I learned that it's fun to work with your friend until you have to film a sex scene with them. I remember Darren being like, 'You guys only have to do it once and you won't have to do it again.' We were both standing in the room like [heavy, nervous breathing] until Darren yelled action and we just went for it. And he kept his word, we went for it and we didn't have to do any of it more than once. But that was definitely the one scene where I remember getting to set and thinking, I don't feel good about this.

Volunteers fight to keep ‘AI slop' off Wikipedia
Check the top of a Wikipedia page before you read, and you might see a new warning: 'This article may incorporate text from a large language model.' That label has been affixed to hundreds of Wikipedia articles, from 'Danish nationalism' to 'Natalie Portman,' over the past year as the platform's volunteer editors grapple with an internet awash in writing generated by artificial intelligence.
