Amanda Seyfried’s Style Paradox: From Nike Running Shoes to Givenchy Sandals

In August 2013, Amanda Seyfried and Justin Long emerged as one of Hollywood’s most understated style pairings. Captured during a casual afternoon in Los Angeles, their relaxed approach to weekend wear remains a masterclass in effortless, off-duty dressing.

While the couple’s public appearances often generated buzz, it was Seyfried’s ability to elevate athletic basics with high-end accessories that defined her personal aesthetic during this era.
