The two-toned monochromatic jacket cinched at her waist in a flattering way while underneath a flowing gray layer was draped just grazing the back of her white pointed-toe boots. Under her jacket, a light gray turtleneck and peeking through, a mini skirt in the same hue was layered in her outfit. In hand, the actress wore a Louis Vuitton square monogram mini handbag. Her look was futuristic and chic wrapped within her layers.

Keys’ cropped denim top was adorned with a stitched design at the chest while buttoned at the top. Underneath her collar sat a gold necklace peeking through that matched her gold hoop earrings, and her single gold ring on one hand. Her flattering high-waisted jeans were wide-legged that paired well with black pointed-toe heels.
Schiaparelli Releases Its First Sneaker
Luxury Italian fashion house Schiaparelli’s newest release is its first-ever sneaker.

At the toe of the shoe is a Trompe l’oeil, a textured rendering of toes in gold. The inner sole is a fiery red hue with the Schiaparelli script logo inside while the button sole looks like a footprint. These sneakers retail for about $2490, would you purchase them?

The soles feature a slight wave detail while the swoosh on both sides of the shoe is placed backward, a signature of Scott’s previous Jordan designs. The campaign features the artist wearing a hoodie and compression leggings in black, like an athlete, holding a pair in all six of his hands. The image looks like layered motion stops of a jumping jack, a clever play on the shoe’s name.
