Kourtney Kardashian Went Pants-less While Wearing Gen Z's #1 Shoe Trend
I'm sure you heard the news that Kourtney Kardashian and Travis Barker got engaged. Of course, all eyes have been on her stunning oval-shaped ring, but now I'm zeroing in on a different accessory of hers: very on-trend extra-chunky platform boots.
Photographed with her new fiancé, the bride-to-be wore Naked Wolfe Spice Black Stretch Boots that are similar to the styles that Gen Z celebrities such as Olivia Rodrigo, Emma Chamberlain, and Willow Smith have been wearing nonstop lately. Most of them prefer knee-high styles, but some Gen Z'ers, like Charli D'Amelio, are also wearing platform ankle boots. Scroll down to see how Kardashian and young celebs all style the same shoe trend.
On Kourtney Kardashian: Leo dress; Naked Wolfe Spice Black Stretch Boots (£300); Rick Owens Rick Sunglasses (£604)

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
