On February 16, 2016, Bella Thorne touched down at Los Angeles International Airport (LAX), providing a masterclass in the “model-off-duty” airport aesthetic.
Returning from a trip to Mexico with then-boyfriend Gregg Sulkin, the actress proved that certain footwear classics never go out of style, regardless of the decade.

Dressing for comfort without sacrificing edge, Thorne showcased a monochromatic olive green utility jumpsuit. The star of her ensemble, however, was her choice of footwear: the Adidas Original “Superstar” leather sneakers.
A year earlier, we also spotted the actress wearing Adidas x Raf Simons Stan Smith sneakers paired with a striped oversized tee dress.
