Anne Hathaway Channels Andy Sachs in This “Ugly” Shoe Trend

Gird your loins! It appears that Anne Hathaway is already entering Andy Sachs mode as she begins gearing up for the press tour of The Devil Wears Prada 2. Though not an official stop on the promotional odyssey, the actress was spotted overnight in Milan wearing an ensemble that can only be described as warranting one of Miranda Priestly’s rare, approving nods. (Remember, there has been only one smile on record, and that was Tom Ford in 2001.)

Whilst out for dinner with her family in the Italian fashion capital, the 43-year-old eschewed every part of her inner sciura, which is a word describing the well-heeled and elegant women native to the city, for an outfit formula that certainly turned heads. Indeed, donning a leopard-print coat and flared white jeans, the star completed her look with a pair of platform wooden clogs.

After making its comeback in Chemena Kamali’s debut collection as creative director for Chloé, the bohemian style has certainly worked overtime in rebuilding its public image. Once relegated to ‘70s costume parties, only worn to tend your garden, or exclusively seen in the shoe arsenals of those who take orthopaedic health very seriously, clogs have toiled hard to shed these connotations and be taken seriously as an incredibly chic, albeit still controversial, spring shoe choice.
