Two weeks ago, you heard from Marie Claire style director Sara Holzman. She’s not the only new face stepping in for The A-List Edit while Halie is away. Hi, I’m Irina, MC’s new interim senior fashion news editor. For the next few months, along with other fashion editors, I’ll be here covering the celebrity style trends currently taking up space in our minds and, inevitably, our wardrobes. First up: gym shorts.
The World Cup may be over, but the sports-adjacent trend that exploded alongside it this summer is still going strong. In the past year, athletic shorts have appeared on an all-star roster of celebrities, including Olivia Wilde, Zendaya, and Charlize Theron. Forever the stylesetter, Zoë Kravitz gave an early masterclass in styling track shorts beyond the track when, last July, she paired classic black Adidas three-stripe shorts with a red T-shirt and heeled sandal mules.
