Heidi Klum proves Crocs are now, apparently, fashionable
The ugly shoe trend is officially model-approved
Heidi Klum has officially given Crocs her stamp of approval. Stepping out in a neon green jumpsuit, rather than accessorizing her high-fashion outfit with a pair of white trainers, the model chose bright yellow Crocs instead.
In a surprising twist, more celebrities have been sporting the ugly shoe trend this season. These foamy shoes were once deemed unfashionable but now seem to be a must-have closet staple, according to stars like Klum, Priyanka Chopra Jonas, rapper Nicki Minaj, and more.
Made for comfort rather than style, Klum is redefining how you wear the shoes in her most recent outing. It was hard to miss the model as she was spotted on August 10, in Los Angeles wearing an all neon outfit. Sporting a bright green off-the-shoulder jumpsuit, she casually carried a butterfly tote bag, and yellow Crocs. To further accessorize the look, she added Croc’s signature Jibbitz—the small charms you can put onto your Crocs.

Travel in comfort with a pair of clog-inspired Crocs that use a foam material for added coziness. The added holes provide ventilation to help keep feet cool.
When you think of wearing Crocs, the last thing you’d probably imagine styling them with is a chic outfit. The foamy shoes are typically worn running errands or lounging around the house, but recently celebrities have been making a case for the shoes.
Back in May, rapper Nicki Minaj was seen sporting a pair of neon pink Crocs to help promote her music at the time. What made headlines though was the diamond encrusted Chanel-inspired embellishments she chose to decorate the shoes with.

The post caused such a frenzy that the Crocs website reportedly crashed after fans flocked to the retailer to get their own pairs.
The brand also partnered with actress and model Priyanka Chopra Jonas who can be seen wearing a more elevated version of the shoes.

The shoes even made an appearance on the red carpet during the Oscars back in April, marking the first time a celebrity sported the brand at an award ceremony. The singer, Questlove, made his red carpet walk in a classic black suit and shiny gold Crocs.
The shoe retailer was once labeled by Time magazine as one of the 50 worst inventions, but that opinion has since changed. Back in April, Crocs even reported a 64% rise in its first-quarter sales for 2021. Comfortable clothing has truly taken the lead in determining fashion trends of the late. As athleisure becomes our new go-to, celebrities are even reimagining how we style everything from sweatshorts to now Crocs.
