Are Fuzzy Slippers The New It Shoe? The Hadids Seem To Think So

by Julia Marzovilla

When a supermodel wears something, there’s a pretty good chance that the look will catch fire quick. If Gigi Hadid’s fuzzy slippers are any indication, this summer will be all about being comfortable. Plus, she made her slippers look super cute while still being cozy — and you can totally steal her look.

The elder Hadid sister stepped out in New York City on June 11 in a pair of bright yellow fuzzy slippers from UGG, and you’re going to want to wear them everywhere this summer. Hadid paired her slippers with an otherwise simple outfit: a pair of black bike shorts and a long sleeve black tee shirt. She finished off her outfit with a pair of skinny black sunglasses, a matching black backpack, and a white shell necklace.

The model isn’t the only Hadid who’s been loving the trend lately. Her little sister Bella wore a pair of purple UGG slippers while on a yacht at The Cannes Film Festival this year. It also looks like both of the Hadid sisters aren’t alone in their pursuit of comfortable footwear this summer. Justin Bieber has made a name for himself wearing hotel slippers while out with his wife, Hailey. Sophie Turner even was photographed wearing a pair of house slippers around New York City back in April.

As you might imagine, the furry slippers trend is super easy to copy at home. While you might not have a lifestyle where it's deemed appropriate to wear house slippers outside every day, you can learn a thing or two about looking both comfortable and cute from the Hadid siblings this season. The trick is to let one piece of your outfit make a statement — in this case, your slippers — while keeping the rest of your outfit sleek and monochrome. Hadid did this perfectly by wearing the perfect weekend athleisure outfit with her neon slides.

There's no issue with finding a pair, either. UGG has become known for its selection of cozy footwear options from the iconic suede boots to more modern slipper versions like the ones both Hadid sisters have worn recently. Puma was one of the first brands to hop on the trend a few years ago when it released a collaboration with Rihanna that included bright teal pool slippers with faux fur on them. Not long after, it seemed like every affordable brand followed suit with their own versions. Ahead, The Zoe Report rounded up the best fuzzy footwear options to shop right now, including Hadid's own pair.
