It's True: Julia Roberts Just Brought Back Princess Diana's Favorite $70 Sneakers

From her philanthropic endeavors to her views on royal life, Princess Diana was ahead of her time in many ways. Her fashion choices were similarly trailblazing, which is why she remains a style icon nearly three decades after her passing. Some elements of her outfits might not be in style anymore—'80s shoulder pads, anyone?—but others are still incredibly relevant. Case in point? Superga sneakers.
As soon as I saw Julia Roberts wearing Superga 2750 Cotu Classic Sneakers ($70) at the Venice Film Festival, my mind immediately went to Princess Diana, who also owned the shoes in the same navy colorway. Emily Ratajkowski and the current Princess of Wales, Kate Middleton, are also fans, but they both prefer to wear white Supergas. (Not to brag, but I've also worn them for nearly a decade.) Scroll down to see how Julia Roberts styled the classic sneakers at the airport in Italy this week.

In the words of newly engaged Taylor Swift, I feel the lavender haze creepin' up on me.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2015, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
