No longer just streetwear's signature, sneakers are now a bold, unapologetic form of self-expression at fashion’s biggest moments.
Still, they're often benched at formal events like this year’s Cannes Film Festival, ultra-formal weddings and certain clubs where suits and gowns rule and heels are practically the law.
But some celebs are flipping the script -- choosing sneakers over stilettos and walking in with comfort, confidence and major attitude. These fashion rebels aren’t just making a statement; they’re starting a style revolution, proving that personality and practicality have a place even at the most exclusive events.
From red carpets to ritzy galas, today’s A-listers are showing the world that sneakers can be just as glam as a pair of pumps.
