Judging only by her fashion choices, we feel confident saying that Zendaya has adjusted perfectly to life in London. Recently, the actor took a solo stroll with her dog, Noon, where she wore her British best.
Dressed in an olive trench coat, black sweater, and a muted yellow neckerchief, the actor practically looked ready to hike around Balmoral with the late Queen Elizabeth II. But the bottom half of her look struck a different tone: Zendaya tucked her bootcut blue jeans into a pair of two-toned knee-high boots—mahogany with a square black cap toe—à la a noughties Kate Moss.
Zendaya isn’t the only cusper to try out the Gen X boot tuck, as my British Vogue colleague Daniel Rodgers pointed out earlier this summer. In June, all the way across the pond, Kendall Jenner stuffed a pair of blue mid-rise jeans into light brown cowboy boots while running errands in Los Angeles.
Between Zendaya in the UK and Kendall Jenner in LA, one thing seems certain: while the boot tuck is making a comeback, people would rather stay true to their bulkier bootcuts than embrace the so-called skinny jeans revival.
