Actress Zendaya recently showcased an innovative uniform styling at the WNBA Finals on the 28th (local time), opening new horizons for sports spectator fashion. On the same day, the fashion world turned its attention to soft grey hues and practical lightweight padding as key winter trends, coinciding with Versace's return to the haute couture runway.
Zendaya's Uniform Layering: A Blend with High Fashion
Known as an avid sports fan, Zendaya watched Game 5 of the 2026 WNBA Finals between the Golden State Valkyries and the Atlanta Dream with her young niece in San Francisco, California, on the 28th. According to Vogue Korea, Zendaya and her niece cheered on the Valkyries in their purple uniforms, presenting a unique game-day look.
Underneath her uniform, she wore a snakeskin-print long-sleeve T-shirt from her second collaboration collection with stylist Law Roach and the brand On, in which she directly participated in the design. This T-shirt features a wide crew neck and a snug fit. She completed the look with a skirt from Jean Paul Gaultier's 2003 Fall collection, notable for its oversized cargo pockets and black bondage-style straps, along with chunky black leather knee-high biker boots from Miu Miu's 1999 Fall collection. Vogue Korea reported, "She personally demonstrated that there's no need to sacrifice style, even when attending a live sports game."

년 만의 런웨이 복귀 10
Pieter Mulier, Versace's new creative director, is set to return to the runway at Paris Haute Couture Week this January. According to Vogue Korea, this marks Versace's first haute couture runway presentation in 10 years since July 2016, and Mulier's debut couture collection for the brand.
Mulier previously unveiled his first Atelier Versace design on August 31st, an asymmetrical dress made of handmade intarsia lace, worn by Nicole Kidman at the Los Angeles premiere of the film Practical Magic 2. Vogue Korea analyzed his debut as a signal of the brand's new direction since its acquisition by the Prada Group last year. Patrizio Bertelli, Chairman and CEO of the Prada Group, stated that they share a "strong commitment to creativity, craftsmanship, and tradition," and their goal is to "not only carry on Versace's legacy but also celebrate and reinterpret its bold and timeless aesthetic."
This Winter's Style Keywords: Grey & Patterned Padding for a Sophisticated Daily Look
Instead of the usual black that people gravitate towards in winter, soft and elegant grey is gaining attention this season. Allure Korea reported that grey is as versatile as black, pairing well with various colors, and creates a more refined and elegant atmosphere.
Grey Color Styling Tips
- Brightness Combination: By combining different shades of grey, from bright light grey to charcoal grey, you can achieve a cohesive yet non-monotonous look. Cha Jungwon showcased a comfortable yet stylish look by pairing a light grey padded jacket with melange grey sweatpants.
- Harmony with Black: Adding a grey inner layer to a black outer creates a lighter and chicer vibe than an all-black ensemble.
- Using Accent Colors: Incorporating accent colors into a grey look, such as a vibrant green bag, a butter-yellow short-sleeve padded jacket, or a light pink bag, can express a soft yet distinct personality.
Lightweight Padding Trend: Pattern and Color Play
As temperatures suddenly drop, lightweight and warm padded jackets are becoming popular. Allure Korea advises focusing on patterns and colors when choosing lightweight padding.
- Emphasize Patterns: For neutral-colored lightweight padding, opt for geometric designs like wave or diamond patterns to create an eye-catching look.
- Pastel Tones: This season, bright and soft pastel tones are trending for lightweight padding. Pairing them with grey sweatpants can create a natural slacker core look.
- Bold Color Play: Experiment with vibrant winter fashion by combining high-saturation colors, suchs as a bright green padded jacket with a hot pink beanie and shoes.
- Mix-and-Match: From late autumn to early winter, try a gorpcore look by pairing a lightweight padded jacket with shorts, adding leg warmers and chunky sneakers to balance the upper and lower body.
From Zendaya's reinterpretation of the uniform to Versace's return to high fashion, and the practical winter trends represented by grey hues and patterned lightweight padding, this winter's fashion offers diverse opportunities for bold personal expression. All eyes are also on the new future of Versace that Pieter Mulier will unveil at Paris Haute Couture Week this coming January.
