At this point, “Sofia Richie” is basically synonymous with “effortless glamour.” Ever since her 2023 wedding to music industry exec Elliot Grainge, Richie has been the poster child for a certain kind of cool-girl aesthetic. You could call it quiet luxury, as many did at the time of her nuptials, but there’s more to it than that.
Take her latest street-style look. Richie was photographed in Los Angeles on July 28 in a quintessential running-errands look: a black scoop-neck tank top, trousers, and a top-handle handbag. An of-the-moment French bob, a pair of thick-rimmed sunglasses, and green Reebok sneakers finish off the look.
Of course, the magic of this outfit is in the details—from the sheer feathery cotton of the tank top to the low-slung waistband of her navy trousers (yes, black and navy. Together. Groundbreaking!), to the ’80s-inspired hues of her trendy sneakers. This is not a woman who chases the latest trends. Instead, she curates which are for her, and which aren’t, and the final result is both timeless and so right now.
Eighties-inspired sneakers have been on the rise of late, a foil to the earthier shades we’ve been seeing for the last few seasons. Vibrant, near-neon colorways add a pop of color to any look needing that extra oomph. And for those of us who tend to wear head-to-toe black (guilty), they add visual interest without muddying an otherwise sophisticated color palette.
Richie’s sneakers in particular are verging on camp with a teal/pink color combination that’s as much early ’00s as it is ’80s. I can’t be the only one looking at these sneakers and thinking, zetus lapetus, right? Sofia Richie, our Supernova Girl.
