Did Gigi Hadid Just Start the First Big Legging Trend of 2018?

The year is almost over, but it's clearly not too late to introduce a few fresh celebrity trends, just as Gigi Hadid did yesterday in New York. The model and Reebok ambassador (among many other things), stepped out for an event for the brand yesterday wearing Reebok, naturally. Given her knack for setting legging trends ever since legging trends became a thing, we always look to Hadid for clues as to what the next ones will be, and it appears that red leggings may be on deck.
Another indicator that red leggings could be a major trend, aside from the fact that red is the It color of fall and winter, is that Alo endorsed it as one of its major themes this season. Red Velvet was a hue that the ultra-popular brand introduced in tons of its styles. Given all of this, don't be surprised if the trend takes off in 2018.
