The ’80s are calling, but we refuse to give their style back. The latest trend to emerge? Jelly shoes. Trends come and go, but along with late-’90s and early Y2K fashion, the 1980s have now overtaken the fashion world with everything from bucket hats, friendship bracelets and even flip phones becoming the must-have accessories to own.

The colorful footwear boasts nostalgia and playfulness, and can often be infused with glitter to add a little sparkle to our feet. The main difference between a jelly sandal and any other type of brightly colored shoe, is that these are typically made of PVC-plastic.
The look originated in Paris back in 1980 by the French company Jelly Shoes, which was founded by Tony Alano and Nicolas Guillon. Today, iterations of the colorful footwear are available in different styles by numerous brands and retailers including Amazon, Saks Off Fifth, Nordstrom, Urban Outfitters and more.
Give your feet a colorful (and non-sticky) upgrade with the colorful jelly shoes we rounded up below.

Major League Soccer, the leading soccer league in North America, and October’s Very Own partnered with one of the greatest living street artists in the game for a new collection. MLS and OVO joined forces with the legendary Mr. Cartoon for a new drop featuring three Major League Soccer squads.
Major League Soccer represents 26 teams in the United States and three teams from Canada and is currently in its 29th year in existence. While soccer isn’t as large a sport in North America as it is globally, MLS has made great strides in providing great sports competitions and entertainment for its fans.
OVO, founded by Drake, has been part of the fashion wave for years and the decision to work with Mr. Cartoon resulted in a limited-edition run of pieces that went on sale today (May 19) online. The collection will prominently feature three MLS teams, Toronto FC, LAFC, and New York City FC.
Mr. Cartoon has enjoyed a long career stemming from his early beginnings as a graffiti artist in Los Angeles before larger projects and his extensive tattoo work. Today, Cartoon’s work graces not only murals and fashion collaborations but also album covers.
The collection will feature an array of hoodies, sweat shorts, and t-shirts.
You can find the collection here at octobersveryown.com. Toronto FC fans will be able to cop their collection at shop.realsports.ca and at BMO Field beginning Saturday, May 27

Rihanna is beating the pre-Met Gala Sunday Scaries with a little help from Chanel. The 35-year-old Fenty Beauty mogul showed off her third trimester baby bump in a glamorous, fuzzy dress, jacket and hat combo in the signature black-and-white colors of the iconic French fashion brand, one day before this year’s Karl Lagerfeld-themed gala kicks off.
Ri shared the dazzling outfit — which also featured white glasses shaped like the Chanel double “C” logo — in a Sunday (April 30) Instagram post. In a couple photos, the “Rude Boy” musician smolders while cradling her bump in her hands. In others, she steps outside of a restaurant in New York City, where she’s rumored to be attending the Met Ball Monday (May 1).
Though Rihanna’s schedule and the Met Gala guest list are typically top secret, her post has fans feeling confident the singer will be in attendance at the annual fashion event Monday night. Not only was she spotted wearing the Chanel look in NYC, where the gala takes place, but she also referenced the event’s date in her caption: “not even monday.” Plus, this year’s honoree, Lagerfeld, was the creative director of Chanel from 1983 up until his death in 2019.
“Please bless us with your Met Gala appearance,” wrote one fan in the comments.
“Queen of the MET. I can’t wait for tomorrow,” commented another.
The “Umbrella” singer, who’s currently expecting her second baby with partner A$AP Rocky, is certainly a bonafide Met Gala veteran. Through the years, she’s rocked some of the annual event’s most memorable looks, from her 2015 Guo Pei canary-yellow gown to her 2018 John Galliano custom bishop-inspired attire.

Pharrell Williams has been named creative director of Louis Vuitton and will debut his first official collection in June during men’s fashion week in Paris, the luxury fashion house announced on Tuesday (Feb. 14).

“Louis Vuitton is delighted to welcome Pharrell as its new men’s creative director. His first collection for Louis Vuitton will be revealed next June during men’s fashion week in Paris,” LMVH, Louis Vuitton’s parent company shared in a statement posted to the brand’s Twitter and Instagram accounts.
Williams is, of course, no stranger to the fashion world and known for his eclectic style. The Virginia native founded the streetwear brand, Billionaire Boys Club, in 2003 and has previously partnered with Louis Vuitton in the past and other major brands like Adidas. The 49-year-old father of three also launched Humanrace, a unisex skin-care line in 2020.
“I am glad to welcome Pharrell back home, after our collaborations in 2004 and 2008 for Louis Vuitton, as our new Men’s Creative Director,” said Pietro Beccari, Louis Vuitton’s Chairman and CEO. “His creative vision beyond fashion will undoubtedly lead Louis Vuitton towards a new and very exciting chapter.”
Williams will take over the position previously held by Virgil Abloh who passed away in 2021 following a battle with cancer. In an 2020 interview with the New York Times, Abloh shared how Williams and his Neptunes partner, Chad Hugo’s, N.E.R.D. album inspired his work.
“There’s an interview where [Williams] classically said, ‘The album is too white for Black radio and too Black for white radio,” Abloh explained at the time. “As a kid growing up in the suburbs of Chicago, skateboarding and finding my own identity, it resonated with me more than hip-hop on its own. [It said] that it was fine to be in between. And I think that has described a whole generation of young Black kids and artists who have since been determined to be themselves and jump through that door that was opened by Pharrell.”
It didn’t take long for the Britney Spears jokes to start rolling in after Doja Cat shaved her head in August last year. It also didn’t take long for the 27-year-old rapper to clap back at people trolling her new look at the time, and in a new interview with Variety — published on Wednesday (Feb. 1) — she’s explaining why she found the Spears comparisons harmful in particular.

“It’s so incredibly disrespectful for people to be minimizing what Britney went through and make a joke out of something that was very serious and a big deal in her life,” she told the publication. “Every time I see a comment like that, I can’t compute what’s happening, other than it’s just an awful thing.”
It was 2007 when Spears shocked the world by shaving her own head while out in public, an incident that’s since gone down in pop culture history as the moment the “Toxic” singer supposedly had a mental breakdown. The next year, she was placed under a restrictive conservatorship controlled by her father, which she wouldn’t succeed in getting legally terminated until 2021.
Doja similarly shocked her fans when she debuted her buzzcut in a surprise Instagram Live last summer, and shocked them further when she proceeded to shave off her eyebrows on that same livestream. Many were quick to jump to baseless conclusions that the “Woman” musician was mentally ill simply because of her dramatic new style, which she angrily shut down at the time.
“I needed to change something,” she explained to Variety. “I wasn’t working out and wasn’t really taking care of myself in the way that I wanted to. I was like, ‘I need to do something,’ so I just chopped it all off. And I could see the shape of my head. I could see my whole face… it’s the best choice I’ve ever made, and I’ve never felt more beautiful.”
The Grammy winner also hinted at what’s to come for her in the music department, confirming that she’ll release another album by the end of 2023. “I want to explore punk,” she revealed. “But not pop-punk. I feel like we have enough pop-punk artists right now. And if there needs to be more, then let there be more, but I don’t think I’m the one to do it.”
“I want to explore more of a raw, unfiltered, hardcore punk sort of thing,” she continued, also noting she wants to focus more on R&B and rap as opposed to pop and dance music. “It’s just something that I’m doing for my own personal fun — getting some drummers and guitarists together. And I don’t even know if that’s gonna make it out there.”

Dubbed Park Trail, the new line of performance-wear clothing was highlighted by the colors orange, army green, deep purple and cream. Park Trail was inspired by the resilience of the outdoors, the spirit of the streets and the possibilities of the future.
Models showed off the new collection at Nobu by the Beach — one of eight new celebrity restaurants at the Atlantis Royal, where Beyoncé performed Saturday night to help launch the new luxury hotel. At the pool and beach club models mingled, danced and sported various pieces from the collection, including camo sequin jackets, puffy orange coats, military-style blazers in army green and cream, hoodies, sweatsuits, jersey dresses and more.
Beyoncé wasn’t onsite at the event, but her music was. The superstar’s creative director, Andrew Makadsi, deejayed and spun several songs from her recent album Renaissance, including “Break My Soul,” “Cuff It,” “Cozy” and “Heated.” He also played Janet Jackson’s “What Have You Done for Me Lately” and Madonna’s “Vogue” while guests sipped on signature cocktails and snacked on Japanese-Peruvian bites.
Park Trail will debut in Adidas stores and online on Feb. 9. The collection includes 56 apparel styles, from sizes XXXS to XXXXL, as well as three footwear styles and 12 accessories, including fully convertible backpacks, bags and hats. Prices range from $30 to $600 in the U.S.
