Lily-Rose Depp is never last when it comes to edgy looks. The one who clearly inherited the sense of style from her illustrious parents regularly wears outfits that are more complicated than they appear. Minimalist in appearance, Lily-Rose Depp's style always presents an offbeat detail, a touch of avant-garde which disrupts the harmony of the outfit and leaves us hesitant about our final assessment: stroke of genius or fashion faux pas? A question Lily-Rose Depp doesn't bother with, probably the reason why her style is so interesting in the eyes of fashion.
This November 6, while she was strolling the streets of Los Angeles, Vanessa Paradis' daughter was photographed once again with an explosive detail in her look. Little black sweater and mom jeans, nothing extraordinary so far. And then zooming in on Lily-Rose Depp's feet, we see that she is wearing white ballerinas with socks in the same tone.
Lily-Rose Depp: this detail of her outfit does not go unnoticed
A combo already observed for several months with moccasins, which the stars like to wear with a pair of thick white socks, inspired by preppy style American students in the 1950s. Yes, but with ballerinas, it's another story.

This fashion, as its name suggests, celebrates the look of prima ballerinas with leotards, cardigans, satin ribbons, white tights and tulle galore.
Lily-Rose Depp right in the balletcore trend
On the catwalks of the spring-summer 2025 collections, Simone Rocha, Ferragamo and even JW Anderson brought up to date
the ballerina aesthetic delicate, airy and with a touch of modernity. Like Lily-Rose Depp, ultimately, who combines the wisdom of flat, immaculate shoes with the relaxed spirit of jeans.
But while her outfit could have been disconcertingly simple, the young woman takes everyone by surprise by adding socks controversial. An association that would have been vilified just a year ago, but which is convincing today thanks to the rise of balletcore.
