Always the fashion follower and perhaps inspired by Bella Hadid, Rita Ora graced the Chanel Spring 2018 Couture fashion show in one of the hottest shoe trends: the dad sneaker.

Bella Hadid styled her dad sneakers on several occasions in 2018, embracing the trend with iconic brands. She wore limited-edition Off-White x Nike Air Jordans for a streetwear-inspired look, Dior Homme colorblock sneakers with a chic pantsuit and sheer bra at Paris Fashion Week, and Balenciaga “Triple S” sneakers paired with oversized, edgy outfits that mixed sporty and feminine elements.

Although dad sneakers are a recent trend, Rihanna rocked a look similar to Rita Ora’s almost four years earlier. Who do you think wore the dad sneaker trend best, Rihanna or Rita Ora?
