Hailee Steinfeld Made These $100 Boots Look So Expensive
From thigh-highs to Western-inspired, there are so many fresh boot styles circulating the fashion sphere at the moment, but Hailee Steinfeld's green boots prove the sock bootie trend is still going strong. The actor stepped out in New York City on Wed. to promote her upcoming film, Bumblebee, while looking cozy in an army green sweater, cropped trousers, and surprisingly affordable matching boots. Steinfeld clearly isn't above saving a few coins on budget-friendly footwear, as proven by the Steve Madden ribbed sock booties that cost just under $100.
It's no secret that celebrities are known to rock accessible footwear from time to time, but what's more notable here is the staying power of the sock bootie trend. The stretchy, versatile style came on the fashion scene when athleisure peaked in 2016, but has proven to remain relevant in post-athleisure 2019 — a time when comfort is king, specifically with Gen Z models and actors like Steinfeld.
The Pitch Perfect star was clearly going for a casual and comfy vibe, with the booties' stripe detail adding an extra touch of sportiness. The ensemble was right in line with the sports-inspired street-style trend, which has reached everyone from Gigi Hadid to Hailey Baldwin.
Get The Look
Even though this particular pair is a serious steal, Steinfeld is willing to spend a pretty penny on gorgeous footwear, too. On Tues., the actor dropped by The Today Show sporting an eye-catching pair of sky-high metallic Louboutin stilettos, proving her affinity for statement booties at all price points and comfort levels. The aforementioned sock booties are definitely the latter, so if you don't already own a pair, consider adopting the trend into your winter wardrobe.
The market is loaded with a variety of options for every budget, so whether you're looking to splurge or save, there's something for everyone here. Ahead, shop The Zoe Report's favorite sock booties — the sporty, snug trend that isn't letting up.
