Leggings has no limit- Gigi Hadid Rocks Leggings on a wide range outfit

Perhaps she needs not much introduction, Gigi Hadid, the American Model and TV Personality in her current outfit like campaign proves legging could have wide range of use. Gigi Hadid seems determined to prove, once and for all, that leggings actually can be worn as pants. This past weekend while at Glastonbury, the It model rocked her favorite pair, a zipper-embellished option by Blue Life ($175), with a striped crop top and a sleek pair of kicks — just one of many nonpants pants outfits we've spotted her in as of late. She may have a model body, but seeing how many times she's fearlessly worn these babies in public has got us thinking: are the days of the stigma surrounding leggings about to be over?

If that's the case, quite frankly, we're relieved. What woman hasn't woken up on a Monday morning and groaned at the thought of shimmying into a tight pair of jeans? In the end, it all comes down to styling. See how Gigi has been wearing hers, then shop some similar items for yourself — if you dare.

That isn't to say that these leggings don't also work for their true purpose: as fitness apparel. Gigi was seen wearing them as such with some running sneakers.

Gigi has actually been wearing leggings a lot lately — and it seems that rumored boyfriend Joe Jonas approves.

Double buckle belt- An Unexpected fashion accessory Top celebrities are Rocking

Usually when we spot a must-have item, it's more of a want than a need. Designer bags, lace-up heels, jewels that cost more than our rent: they're pretty but not exactly practical. This It accessory, however, combines the best of both worlds.
As of late, Kendall Jenner and Selena Gomez have both been rocking B-Low the Belt's Bri Bri Belt($148), which instantly amps up even the simplest outfits while adding something extra to statement-making looks. And while there's probably no realneed for two buckles, we're justifying our purchase with the fact that belts in general help hold up our pants. Keep scrolling to see how both ladies styled it, then shop this piece and similar options for yourself.

Kendall can't get enough of this cool, double-buckle belt! Whether she pairs it with a dress or some jeans, it just works!

Kendall even wore it out and about in Paris, dressed in a striped shirt and black pants.

Selena Gomez was also seen wearing the same double-buckle belt with cutoffs and a swimwear-inspired bodysuit.

From Lil’ Kim to Missy Elliott, the ’90s Hip- Hop Stars Whose Style Still Inspires

Source: Getty images
At the BET Awards Sunday, hip-hop fans were treated to a delightful surprise when Sean Combs took the
stage—bringing with him many artists including Pharrell, Mase, and Jadakiss —to pay homage to the late Notorious B.I.G. But we were most excited to see the return of Lil’ Kim (and her skintight all-black look and over-the-knee boots). With Fresh Dressed now in theaters—the documentary that traces the history
of hip-hop fashion from Dapper Dan to Kanye West — Kim, and her risk- taking approach to her wardrobe
feels especially relevant. From her bejeweled, skimpy costumes (see her famous purple pastie-involving
get-up at the 1999 VMAs) to her voluminous fur coats that made sure everyone knew who was boss, Kim personifies a certain type of OTT we’ve come to expect from major hip-hop stars.

The pioneering women of nineties hip-hop, from Salt-N-Pepa to Missy Elliott, made their sartorial imprint
and popularized everything from excessive and campy jewelry to playful sportswear. Just as
provocative as Lil’ Kim is her rival Foxy Brown; meanwhile, artists like Neneh Cherry preferred a more
thoughtful and funky approach. And like her powerful music, Lauryn Hill’ s sense of style endures today,
as nineties nostalgia continues to pervade the runways.

It takes a bold personality and rare talent to break into the boy’s club that is the rap game, and that
courage is no doubt also echoed in the personal styles of artists today like Nicki Minaj, Azealia Banks, and Angel Haze. Here, a look at eight of their forbears whose music and signature looks continue to inspire us today.
