Trend topper: You can bet your boots on this

Heels on the runway or cosy flats have amped up the temperature this winter

Be it Maria Sharapova, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley or Lupita Nyong’o, fashionistas who are typically spotted in sports shoes, heels on the runway or cosy flats have amped up the temperature this winter. Seeing them don winter must-haves, edgy ankle boots coupled with black jeans or pants, all we could think of was hitting the shopping precinct and taking style-spiration from them.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley



The Mad Max: Fury Road star escaped her native England for the sunshine in Los Angeles this Christmas but it appeared that the supermodel couldn’t quite overcome the chill. Embracing winter with a cultured edge, Rosie threw on an effortlessly chic ensemble that exuded charm. Sporting a charcoal overcoat and a comfy grey jumper on the inside, Rosie looked comfortable yet classy. She balanced out her outfit with ripped black jeans and her favourite Celine shades.

Maria Sharapova




Exhibiting her own spin on fashion, the well-loved tennis star was spotted in a monochrome ensemble while revelling in retail therapy at a mall in Beverly Hills. The 28-year-old tennis pro, currently ranked number four in the world, donned a black-and-white geometric blouse, tucked into a pair of black pleated, calf-length dress pants. She strode up her elegance with a pair of gold metallic ankle boots that complemented her rocker look.

Lupita Nyong’o



The actor awakened us to just how fabulous this winter fad can look. The Star Wars: The Force Awakens star looked nothing less than a brilliant interstellar as she donned a snug black T-shirt with a harmonising pair of form-fitted trousers that underscored her chiseled frame.  She tied the look together with a pair of bang-on-trend leather ankle booties. Opting for a relaxed look for her flight as she strutted on the airport, she wore a hefty grey coat and a patterned scarf. On her eyes, she wore a pair of reflective, round-framed shades, and carried a trendy black leather handbag.
