Rosie Huntington-Whiteley Wore the Old-School Sneakers That Are Back Again

Of all the celebrities on Instagram, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is among the most devoted to posting outfit photos. Her 11 million followers are avid fans of her mirror selfies, which often include brands like Bottega Veneta and The Row. These days, just like the rest of us, her outfits are decidedly more low-key and comfortable—especially her shoe choices. Photographed on a bike ride around her neighborhood, she wore New Balance 990v5 Sneakers ($175).
The "boring" New Balance sneakers are a favorite of fashion girls right now, including our very own editors. (See proof below.) Huntington-Whiteley wore hers with a crew-neck sweatshirt and leggings—aka, what I've been living in for the past month.
