Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Wore the Old-School Sneakers That Are Back Again

Of all the celebrities on Instagram, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is among the most devoted to posting outfit photos. Her 11 million followers are avid fans of her mirror selfies, which often include brands like Bottega Veneta and The Row. These days, just like the rest of us, her outfits are decidedly more low-key and comfortable—especially her shoe choices. Photographed on a bike ride around her neighborhood, she wore New Balance 990v5 Sneakers ($175).
The "boring" New Balance sneakers are a favorite of fashion girls right now, including our very own editors. (See proof below.) Huntington-Whiteley wore hers with a crew-neck sweatshirt and leggings—aka, what I've been living in for the past month. Scroll down to shop Huntington-Whiteley's New Balance sneakers, and see how our editors have worn the brand in the past.

Next, The Nanny's C.C. Babcock had better style than Fran Fine—there, I said it.

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern in 2011—back when the site only published a single story per day. (We have since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC and lives in Los Angeles. 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 is now the Associate Director of Fashion News. From the Oscars to the Met Gala, she leads the site's entire red carpet coverage strategy. She specializes in celebrity and fashion news but also enjoys writing travel features and runway reports. She frequently contributes to WWW's social accounts and has a sizable following on her personal TikTok.
