Gigi Hadid shows us how to wear flip-flops like a runway queen — and we’re absolutely here for it.

Stop and think for a moment, could you ever wear flip-flops to a major fashion event.

If you saw someone in flip-flops at a fashion event, you might assume they were just popping. But when Gigi Hadid does it? It’s called a style statement and the world takes notes.

This week, the supermodel turned heads in New York City as she arrived at the launch of her collaboration with Havaianas, the iconic Brazilian flip-flop brand. But it wasn’t just the rain that made people stop, it was her entire look.

Gigi showed up in a stunning, sleeveless white mini dress from Marc Jacobs, decorated with colorful jewel embellishments. Simple, short, and glam here’s the real twist.

She paired it with bright yellow flip-flops. Yes, flip-flops! The kind you would usually wear to the beach or by the pool. And somehow, she made them look designer.

The Outfit Broke the Internet (In a Good Way)

The internet didn’t waste time. Fashion blogs, style pages, and celebrity gossip sites couldn’t stop talking about the look. Why? Because it is not something you see everyday. It was unexpected but it was fun. And it was a reminder that style doesn’t have to be uncomfortable to be cool.

Her flip-flops, which is part of the Gigi Hadid x Havaianas collection, featured a square-toe design, a soft, buttery yellow that matched her accessories to the last detail.

Even her anklet complemented the casual footwear. She carried a colorful beaded bag, threw on some chunky jewelry, and held a black-and-white umbrella like the fashion queen she is.

It was giving “laid-back luxury” and we are here for it.

Are Flip-Flops Fashion Now?

Apparently, yes.

Gigi isn’t the first celebrity to wear flip-flops with a dress but she just might be the one to convince the rest of us to try it too.

For years, fashion has been moving toward comfort. From sneakers on red carpets to baggy jeans making a comeback, the lines between “casual” and “chic” are blurring really fast.

In a place like the UAE – where fashion is bold and the heat is real, this feels especially relevant.

Stylish comfort is the real deal. You can now rock your favorite pair of easy slides with an abaya, a summer dress, or even wide-leg trousers and still look on point.

So, What’s Next?

If this trend catches on (and it looks like it will), don’t be surprised if flip-flops show up at brunches, summer weddings, and rooftop parties and everywhere in-between. But of course, it’s not just about the flip-flop, it’s about how you wear it.

Want to pull off the Gigi look? Keep it simple. Pair clean, polished flip-flops with a statement dress or a minimal outfit. Add one or two bold accessories, and walk with confidence. That’s the real key.

Conclusion

Gigi Hadid may have just flipped the script

What we once saw as lazy footwear is now luxury, fresh, and cool

Fashion is changing. The rules are shifting. And in this new era, you get to decide what’s stylish for you.

So if you’re still wondering whether flip-flops can be high fashion, the answer is now a loud, confident Yes. Yes, they can.

And if Gigi can wear them in the rain with a designer mini, you can wear them anywhere, too.

Cardi B knows well how to make fashion speak before she does, outside SNL on Saturday she drew attention on the street in a sculpted glossy burgundy leather set. Styled by her longtime collaborator Kollin Carter, the look was sharply tailored.

The dress had a structured design. Made of high-shine burgundy leather, it was a clean-cut, tailored to fit her shape and cinched at the waist with a matching belt that emphasized her shape. The deep, plunging neckline added impact while keeping a sharp edge. The midi-length skirt skimmed over her hips and fell just below the knee, while the long sleeves with cuffs added structure.

On her, its shiny surface deepened the burgundy tone. The outfit combined old-school glamour with modern street style.

For her accessories, Cardi kept things minimal. A compact black handbag gave the look a touch of simplicity, while pointed-toe heels gave the outfit a sharper line. Her voluminous hair and soft fringe offset the leather’s rigidity, creating contrast.

She opted for a radiant glow makeup on her skin, with bronzed cheekbones that enhanced the richness of the leather. A subtle smoky eye and nude lips ensuring attention stayed on the outfit.

Ariana Grande’s fashion has moved into a bold phase as she pushes beyond her Wicked persona and introduces a structured wardrobe. After months of dressing up as Glinda the Good Witch for Wicked: For Good press conferences in pastel-pink dresses and bubble-inspired clothing, Grande is now displaying a wardrobe direction that reflects her theatrical background while fearlessly branching out.

During the latest Saturday Night Live promo campaign, Grande appeared inspired by wearing a vintage Bob Mackie dress originally worn by Carol Burnett in the 1970s, an evident change from her regular Glinda looks. Styled by Law Roach, the retro chevron-patterned gown showed Grande’s interest in classic design and traditional Hollywood glamour.

At the Late Night with Seth Meyers appearance, the star balanced her method dressing with a refined gown from Paolo Sebastian collection, a full ladylike skirt and a button-up, off-the-shoulder bodice.

This stylistic shift continues at the Wicked: For Good European premiere, where Grande wore a shimmering black paillettes gown, a classic choice far removed from her signature pink.

The transition also extends to her hair and accessories; she has favored darker, more sophisticated colors and vintage pieces that suggest a move toward quiet luxury.

While elements of her Glinda era still influence key looks, Grande’s current fashion direction reflects a more intentional and wide-ranging approach to dressing.
