The 5 Sneaker Brands Celebs Actually Buy for Themselves, According to a Stylist

Celebrity stylists are invaluable resources if you want to peek behind the curtain of Hollywood fashion. While you might see their handiwork all over the red carpet and on Instagram, you don't always know the ins and outs of the getting-ready process. For instance, I've been fascinated to learn about what brands celebrities actually buy for themselves given the fact that they are often gifted with or loaned many of the things they wear.

So far, I've tapped stylist Tiffany Briseno to shed light on the jeans and underwear that celebrities buy for themselves, and now we're turning the spotlight on sneakers. Below, Briseno shares her expert opinion on the most popular sneakers in the celebrity world and why they reign supreme. 

"Virgil Abloh is synonymous in the sneaker market and for good reason," Briseno told Who What Wear. "His designs are both iconic and totally wearable. He's done numerous collabs and always turns out pieces that are part art, part sneaker. His signature orange detailing and refreshing approach to sneaker designs is a magnet amongst celebs."

On Kendall Jenner: Balenciaga coat; Paris Georgia pants; Nike x Off-White sneakers; Velvet Canyon sunglasses; Prada bag
On Rosalía: Off-White sneakers

"Classic and instantly cool," Briseno told us. "This brand is still a force in the market after almost 60 years in the running. There are many celebs that not only live in Converse but wear Converse in both casual and more formal settings. I'm here for it! You can wear converse with literally any look."

On Vice President Kamala Harris: Converse sneakers
On Kaia Gerber: Chanel sunglasses; Prada bag; Converse sneakers

"There is no sneaker listicle out there that doesn't mention the iconic Jordans!" Briseno told Who What Wear. "Sneaker culture as we know it today really began when Jordan 1 hit the market in the mid-'80s. Not only are Jordans frequently spotted among celebs, but the brand continues to drop hot styles with some of music's biggest names like J Balvin and Travis Scott."

On Rihanna: Timberland coat; Vetements sweatpants; Celine tote; Off-White sunglasses; Air Jordan x Union 1 Retro High Sneakers

"What can I say? Adidas was the first brand to collab with non-athletes and enter the world of pop culture, teaming up with Run-D.M.C. back in the 1980s. Fast-forward to their smashing success collab with Kanye West on Yeezy. Also, a more recent collab with Bad Bunny continues to showcase their ability to stay on-trend and work with the best artist. This makes Adidas an obvious go-to for celebs alike."

On Charlize Theron: Agolde '90s Fit Mid Rise Loose Fit Jeans ($188); Adidas Superstar Sneakers ($85)
On Jennifer Lopez: Off-White tracksuit; Chanel bag; Adidas Superstar Sneakers ($85)
On Bella Hadid: Tommy Hilfiger denim shirt; Levi's jeans; Louis Vuitton bag; Adidas x Wales Bonner sneakers

"Let's just say that Balenciaga has some of the trendiest sneakers in fashion. The brand went from a luxury label making sneakers to a leading force in the sneaker community. They have a few viral styles to speak of and many have found their home in celeb closets around the globe."

On Elsa Hosk: The Frankie Shop coat; Chanel bag; Balenciaga sneakers
On Vanessa Hudgens: Avenue the Label shorts; Balenciaga sneakers

Diaper Shorts Are Back - How to Shop the Controversial TikTok Trend

Of all the street style trends to dominate our FYP and social media feeds in recent years, bloomer shorts seems to be the most bizarre (and ironically one of our top favorites) yet. And who do we have to thank for it? TikTok, of course. In a single scroll on the popular app, you've probably come across the piece multiple times, from those viral Miu Miu briefs to Aritzia's more affordable offerings. Slightly more flirty and risqué than the stomach pudge dress or the fisherman aesthetic , bloomer shorts (aka "diaper shorts") have officially made it to the top of the sartorial food chain. What Are Bloomer Shorts? While the idea of bloomer shorts may seem new or daunting at first, they're far from groundbreaking. Similarly to most trends, the good ol' "everything is new again" concept applies here, as the fad dates back to 1850 when the silhouette was invented as a practical solution for women's health and comfort - eventually grabbing the atten...

Does Uniqlo Heattech Really Keep You Warm? An Editor Investigates

I live in a perpetual state of being cold. Whether it's 70 degrees or below 17, you're bound to find me wrapped up in a blanket at home or venturing out with a jacket in tow. Growing up in Arizona hasn't exactly prepared me for how to navigate cooler temperatures, which is why I often rely on heavy layering during the winter months to keep myself feeling warm. In the past, this has translated into me dressing like Ralphie's younger brother from "A Christmas Story" - think chunky snowsuits, a double-wrapped wool scarf, and so many layers I'm hardly able to breathe (let alone move around). It wasn't until I was introduced to Uniqlo Heattech gear that I realized lightweight, movable thermals exist. Uniqlo's Heattech line is arguably one of the brand's most popular collections. Loved by shoppers for its wide variety of styles, the capsule boasts warm, insulated pieces that are designed to replicate the effectiveness of a thermal layer without the...

I Wore Sofía Vergara's Viral and Divisive Sneaker Heels - and Actually Sort of Loved Them

Despite what some people may think, the return of sneaker heels - largely attributed to Sara Blakely , the inventor of world-renowned Spanx, and now Sneex - happened by accident. "Our founder did not set out to create a sneaker heel. She set out to create the world's most comfortable high heel and this is where the innovation led her," a brand rep says. Not only are they supportive, they add noticeable bounce to my steps, which actually makes walking in high heels sort of . . . fun? Nevertheless, merely one year in, the company can report that The Tepper in Silver ($595) sold out in just 24 hours after launch and accrued an 11,000-person waitlist. One-third of the brand's customers have already invested in a second pair. And celebrities from Jane Fonda and Sofía Vergara to Reese Witherspoon and Suki Waterhouse have already been spotted wearing them. "The Sneex customer is responding to sneaker heels because they want height and wearability," the S...
