Chloe Bailey hit the town in retro-chic fashion this weekend thanks to a trending pair of heels.

The “Grown-ish” actress shared her elevated style on Instagram earlier today, donning a coordinating navy set that included a peek-a-boo crop top and coordinating flare-hem pants.

Asymmetric tops and bootcut pants are making their triumphant return from the late 1990s and early 2000s, favorited this year already by Kim Kardashian, Bella Hadid and more top stars. You can find the trends mixed in with low-rise pants, bandana tops and square-toe sandals as fashion fans make a 180 back towards the familiar and comfortable styles of decades past.

In another ode to the ’90s, Bailey herself broke out a set of buzzy thong-toe sandals.

Thong-toe footwear also returned to the celebrity scene last year as one of its biggest trends and is sticking around in 2021. Be it classic flip-flops or thong-toe heels, the minimalistic silhouette falls in line with the aforementioned ’90s-inspired revitalization of fashion. Stars like Kendall Jenner along with Meryl Streep, Rihanna and Jennifer Lopez amongst other major names are continuing to support the trend in even cooler temperatures.

Even when she isn’t in thong sandals or retro-chic attire, Chloe Bailey herself stays ahead of top trends. The “Do It” singer favors everything from latex Attico minidresses and Tamara Mellon sandals to head-to-toe Ivy Park x Adidas sets.

The 23-year-old credits her looks to stylist Zerina Akers who also helps style her sister Halle Bailey as well as Beyoncé.
