Fashion month is over. The Victoria’s Secret fashion show is in the rearview. Yet, Bella Hadid stays in her heels.

Today in Los Angeles, the model opted for an aughts-inspired look while out running errands. Hadid was seen wearing a cropped graphic navy tee with a pair of mid-rise bootcut Frame jeans, which she toughened up with an oversized, slouchy black Balmain leather jacket and an hourglass-shaped Balmain Sphynx bag.

But Hadid’s footwear choice elevated the off-duty look from errands ’fit to runway-ready. Instead of a pair of sneakers, ballerinas—or even sneakerinas—she opted for a pair of knife-sharp brown Prada slingbacks with a puffed-up rosette on the vamp. It’s the kind of detail that transforms a look from laidback to intentional: while jeans and a tee are the pinnacle of casual, there’s nothing nonchalant about a stiletto.

Next time you find yourself at a loss for what to wear, consider borrowing from Bella Hadid’s latest outfit formula and create a little tension between relaxed clothing and a high-maintenance shoe. It’s the perfect fashion vehicle to announce, “I care—but not too much.”
