Bella Hadid has never come across a Y2K trend she didn’t want to try, and her latest look showcases one of the most iconic (and divisive) shoe options of the 2000s: the UGG boot.
The model was photographed in New York on September 19 wearing the new UGG Classic Ultra Mini Platform Shearling Short Boot with a pair of white micro shorts, a graphic tee and a very Y2K black and blue leather jacket. She styled her look of UGG boots and shorts with white mid-calf socks worn ruffled, a pair of wraparound black sunglasses, a headband, and a slice of New York pizza (jealous) for the ultimate off-duty vibe with a signature Bella Hadid street style twist.

Fall means comfort, comfort means UGGs. What UGGs do we buy? I need us to have a conversation,” she says in the video. “Of course, when Bella wore them…I had to ask, ‘Let me mind my business and subtly warn my daughters that you are about to be brainwashed by these boots.”
