But what caught our eye above all else was Alexa's resurrection of a beloved trainer silhouette: Chuck Taylor All Stars by Converse.

Alexa's Converse moment was somewhat a surprise, given how she's visibly been loving a different sneaker silhouette, Nike's Cortez.
The retro-style shoe has recently been enjoying its time in the trend limelight, especially among the Instagram crowd, but, always ahead of the curve, Alexa ditched her beloved Cortezs to rep her high-top Converse in a versatile pale beige hue.
In another snap, the fashion muse styled the trainers alongside a vibrant red cardigan, white jeans and a sleek Celine shoulder bag, proving that they are a great option for off-duty cool.
