The DKNY Artworks launch party in London last night (June 12) had a ’90s theme, and guests were asked to come in their best throwback-to-the-’90s outfits.
But because the ’90s is what’s in fashion right now, everyone looked very much on-trend instead of retro. What was a party planning fail by the event organizers was a fashion win for the celebrity guests and us!
We had a grand time checking out all the fabulous athletic streetwear-inspired outfits, from Iggy Azalea’s striped logo dress to Jourdan Dunn’s belly-baring cutaway football jersey.
Most guests chose to accessorize with sporty shoe styles from DKNY, but some, like Rita Ora, decided to mix things up with chic designer footwear. Needless to say, the DKNY Artworks launch party was an exciting event to go shoe-spotting. See the curious mix of sporty and trendy shoes below!
1. Rita Ora in DKNY Pre-Fall 2013 Buckled Knee-High Sandal Boots

Rita Ora fashioned yet another pair of knee-high gladiator sandal boots. At this point, we can safely say that she is more committed to this trend than anyone else.

2. Cara Delevingne, Iggy Azalea, Tallulah Harlech, and Rita Ora in DKNY “Pulse” Booties

The DKNY “Pulse” booties were, hands down, the most popular shoes of the night. Cara Delevingne, Iggy Azalea, and Tallulah Harlech all arrived at the event wearing these booties.

Even Rita Ora, who is most dedicated to her gladiator boots, couldn’t resist changing into the said booties for her stage performance!
