The hipster denim trend has officially reached unprecedented levels. Think Tracee Ellis Ross’ denim heels at Paris Fashion Week. After openly rejecting and grudgingly accepting the success of the controversial denim trend, we can’t help but marvel at this unexpected new denim accessory. Ross wore a pair of heels from the Loewe Fall 2022 collection that appear to cut the waist and legs of jeans, resulting in a pile of fabric wrapped around her ankles that is somehow stunning and chic at the same time.
Like the missing fabric in the top half of a pair of low-rise jeans, Ross’s heels feature a tent of denim draped around a standard pointed-toe heel in black, making us wonder what could be lurking. under all this material. Extra clothes? His telephone? Snacks ? “BLUE JEAN BABY,” Ross captioned photos of the artistic look. “Thank you @loewe @jonathan.anderson for a great display of wearable art.”
Ross, styled by Karla Welch, smartly paired the look with a patchwork denim jacket layered over an asymmetric wrap blouse, black leather pants and a matching letterman jacket.
Once we got past the mesmerizing shoes, we also spotted Ross’ Loewe handbag, and we can’t decide if the handbag or the heels are where she hides her extra lipstick and her emergency mascara.
Take a closer look at Ross’ entire outfit and check out some of our favorite high-rise jeans as a palate cleanser as we try to process this new extreme in the denim sphere.
