Yet Another Convert to Crocs: Ariana Grande

Crocs are fashion’s most controversial footwear style (though summer’s flip-flop heels are hot on its toes). Those rubber shoes, usually meant for gardening, got a luxurious spin in 2017 when Christopher Kane came out with a gem-studded version . Last year, Balenciaga went a step further with a heeled Croc—you know, in case you want to plant some Black Eyed Susans on your way to the club. It wasn t long before the footwear started making regular cameos on the runway and in street style photographs, turning the once-horrifying clog into a surprising It shoe.

Late to the party, Ariana Grande still wants in. The singer posted an outfit on Instagram today that featured a pair of pristine white Crocs — hers not a high-fashion version but the OG ones. She wore them with white socks for a true comfort appeal and styled them in that signature Ariana way: with an oversized hoodie and no pants. Still, a chic little cross-body bag helped elevate the ensemble and give it some much-needed polish.
