Ariana Grande Winterizes Her Favorite Ballet Flats Trend With a Fuzzy Jacket and Gloves
She's been wearing them since July.
Ariana Grande's new film, Focker-In-Law, releases in theaters on November 25, the day before Thanksgiving. So, it's only right that her press tour serves as style inspiration for the first major holiday of the season. After a screening of the franchise's fourth film in New York, Grande looked fresh from Thanksgiving dinner in a fuzzy, fur-trimmed jacket, Sandy Liang's take on the ballet pumps trend, and matching, made-for-winter gloves.
The paparazzi spotted the star in her first Focker-in-Law street style outfit, which marked a relaxed turn from her Wicked wardrobe. Grande started her layered look with a cropped, shearling-trimmed coat from Nour Hammour. Dressing down the elevated evening jacket, complete with a chocolate fur collar and cuffs, she wore blue stovepipe-slim jeans, The Row's everyday Parker Bag, and stark white socks tucked into her beloved Ballet Pumps by Sandy Liang.
Ariana Grande was spotted in NYC wearing jeans, a fuzzy fur-trimmed jacket, and the ballet pumps trend.
The patent leather pair blended the rounded, bow-tied toes of ballet flats with 1.5-inch-tall block heels. Not only did the almost sold-out ballerinas complement the satin ribbon atop the actor's adorable ponytail, but her five-finger gloves did, too. For her finishing touches, Grande accessorized with tortoiseshell Miu Miu glasses and $179 hoop earrings from Swarovski.
Sandy Liang's heeled ballet flats joined Grande's shoe rack in July—and since then, she has frequently styled them with socks. What's more, these jeans seem to be the pop star's preferred partner for socks and ballet shoes, having worn the trio in London, Fort Lauderdale, Tokyo, and now, NYC.
Grande is not alone in her affinity for ballet pumps. This year, everyone from Zoë Kravitz to Kaia Gerber (so far) swapped slipper-style flats for heightened alternatives. Now, with Nutcracker season around the corner, and Grande showcasing how to style the It shoes for winter, they could become the standout footwear silhouette of the holidays.
