Penélope Cruz Made Platform Flip-Flops and Bell-Bottom Jeans Look So Chic

Have you been following the amazing red carpet looks at this year’s Venice Film Festival? Lily-Rose Depp stole the show in Chanel Haute Couture, while Iman chose a memorable Valentino Haute Couture feathered number. But the dramatic red carpet looks aren’t the only great fashion moments coming from the festival. Celebrities are also photographed en route to more laid-back events, and Penélope Cruz’s denim look, in particular, caught our eye.

Cruz teamed a posh red blazer and classic quilted Chanel bag with two items you may or may not have worn in 2003: light-wash flared jeans and platform flip-flops. I’ve said it before, and I’ll say it again: What’s old is new again. Cruz made her Paige Genevieve Flare Jeans in North Star Distressed ($229) and flip-flops look impossibly chic and even film festival–worthy, so you might want to consider copying this look for fall. Scroll down to see how she styled the pieces, and shop her jeans for yourself.

These 3 Grandma Trends Just Got Bumped Way Up (Thanks, Kaia Gerber)

Grandma dressing has been on the rise for a while now, and as we recently pointed out, there are a few specific trends that fall into this larger style aesthetic. Some items are poised to be more popular than others for the season ahead, and as we inch closer and closer to fall, fashion girls and celebs such as J.Lo and Kaia Gerber are nailing down these popular retro fashion items as big fall trends.

Case in point: We recently spotted Kaia Gerber wearing three big grandma trends—retro sunglasses, a vacation shirt, and croc-effect slingback heels—while out and about in NYC on her birthday. She styled them to suit her signature effortless vibe by pairing a green silk bowling shirt with vintage jeans and sleek slingbacks. We have a feeling that her cool outfit choice is about to inspire a lot of fashion girls to prioritize these three retro items over all the others. Scroll down to see Kaia Gerber’s grandma-chic outfit, shop her look, and then shop more of our picks of each trend.
