What do Lola Tung and Bella Hadid have in common? An obsession with Vivaia sneakerinas. On Tuesday, the Summer I Turned Pretty star was photographed leaving a talk show in a silver pair of the brand's cult-loved ballet sneakers. She styled them with a 404 Studio mini dress, polka dot tights, and a chic Coach Alter/Ego bag.
While Lola's exact pale gray Cristinas are currently exclusive to Vivaia's website, you can still score all three of Bella Hadid's go-to pairs on Amazon for $160—including the nylon Yancy sneakerinas the supermodel debuted in August and the black and white Cristinas she wore in March.
After building buzz all year, ballet-sneaker hybrids have cemented themselves as a key fall footwear trend. "I was admittedly slow to jump on the ballet-flat-meets-sneaker-trend, but now I can’t stop wearing them," says commerce editor Samantha Jones. "They’re a little bit sporty, so they lend themselves well to street style 'fits, but the delicate ribbon laces make them feel plentyyyy dressed up for a day at the office. I get compliments every time I step out of the house in them—and best of all, the cushioned soles are comfy AF."

Vivaia styles fly off shelves after celebrity sightings (Charli XCX and Amelia Gray are also fans), so shop fast—or risk waiting for a restock. Who knows which A-lister will be spotted in them next?
