Back in December 2015, Dakota Fanning embraced a fresh-faced, low-key travel look as she jetted out of Los Angeles International Airport—a snapshot of the effortless, minimalist style she favored throughout the mid-2010s.

The then-21-year-old actress kept things comfy yet polished in an all-black ensemble featuring a draped long coat, a simple top, and streamlined pants.

A Signature Combo: Pink Designer Bags and Classic Adidas Superstars
Amanda Seyfried’s lookalike added a pop of color with a pink Chanel crossbody bag and completed her laid-back outfit with a pair of Adidas sneakers.
Earlier that year, she was also spotted wearing Adidas Originals “Superstar” and a pink Céline “Trio” crossbody bag while leaving a salon in Los Angeles.

Keeping her look simple, she went makeup-free and wore her thick blonde locks down with a center parting.

Why the Adidas Superstar Remains a Street-Style Classic
Dakota’s shoes are the classic, fan-favorite adidas Superstar sneakers—an iconic style first introduced in 1970 and celebrated for its leather construction, shell-toe design, and enduring cultural impact that has carried it from NBA courts to hip-hop stages and into timeless street fashion.

They are made of premium coated leather and feature iconic rubber shell-toe protection and cushioned rubber cupsoles with herringbone traction.

These sneakers are available at Nordstrom and Zappos.
