It's like they never left. With the 2000s slowly creeping back into our closets, UGG boots are having a major resurgence, and we're happy to report that this season's comfiest shoe is also a celebrity favorite. Some of the biggest champions of the UGG renaissance include Bella Hadid, whose cool-girl styling of platform UGGs and slouchy white socks is now permanently seared into our brains. Keke Palmer, meanwhile, wore low-rise platform UGGs with her denim-on-denim ensemble at New York Fashion Week.
UGGs originally built a following rooted in coziness, but this time around, they also have aesthetic appeal. New releases like the Dipper Boot, promoted by Cardi B and Natalia Bryant, feature trendy platform soles with a form-fitting design, contouring the foot like Balenciaga's viral sock-sneakers. And while you can still get your hands on plush UGG slippers for at-home comfort, celebrities are now marketing the boots in particular as a legitimate form of streetwear.
Lori Harvey, for example, paired the Dipper Boot with a purple cargo miniskirt and casual white tank top. Vanessa Hudgens also broke out the UGGs for her Bachelorette trip to Aspen, going the more functional route with wool-lined hiking boots, but still playing to UGG's latest era with an oversize baseball jersey and leggings.
The celebrity consensus wants us to believe that the boots are new and improved, but if you ask us, UGGs were always a wardrobe staple. It's just that now, more people are giving them the respect they deserve. Read on to shop some of the buzziest styles celebrities are already loving this winter.
