Our Ankles Are Wobbly Just Looking at Conan Gray's 8-Inch Platform Boots

Conan Gray served ethereal main-character energy for his first in-person appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28. The "Yours" singer arrived to the award show wearing a romantic black-and-white ensemble paired with perhaps his most daring platform shoes yet. Plucked from Harris Reed's spring 2022 collection, Gray's outfit consisted of a white blazer-style top with a sheer, lace-trimmed train that his team held up as he floated down the black carpet. The set also included black high-waisted pants with an extreme flare.

Peeking out from underneath Gray's wide-leg trousers were the real stars of the show: a pair of silver lurex boots featuring staggering eight-inch heels and 5.5-inch platforms that would make anyone's ankles quiver from just looking at them. Thanks to the 11 buckles strapping all the way up his lower leg, Gray made walking in them look like a breeze. The embellished shoes first popped up on Marc Jacobs's runway back in spring 2017, and Gray snagged them from Lidow Archive - a vintage-clothing rental shop based in Los Angeles.

With input from stylist Katie Qian, Gray accessorized with a black Dries Van Noten neckpiece, a teardrop-shaped Swarovski pendant necklace, Anabela Chan black diamond earrings, and black vintage lace gloves. Later on during the VMAs, he changed into an equally whimsical Valentino Haute Couture getup - an orange ruffled cape and velvet trousers - to perform his songs "Disaster" and "Memories."

Read ahead to admire Gray's VMAs outfits, and take a closer look at his wild boots before catching up on what other stars wore to the award show.

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...
