Puma kicked off the launch of its Speedcat sneaker in Milan on Tuesday with support from celebrity guests Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski. The “It” shoe was officially relaunched in 2024 and was named the “hottest sneaker in the world” by Lyst in October.

Of course, both Lipa and Ratajkowski wore the trendy shoes and combined all-black looks.

Lipa paired an oversized Puma racing jacket with a leather corset, leopard print miniskirt and sheer tights. She also added a diamond-encrusted chain link necklace from Tiffany & Co.’s Tiffany Titan collection, a collaboration with Pharrell Williams. The “Radical Optimism” singer wore her brunette locks in waves while her makeup consisted of brown lip liner and rosy blush.

Ratajkowski, meanwhile, wore a plunging Aya Muse minidress over flared leggings. A silver necklace with a statement pendant and a black handbag completed her ensemble. Winged eyeliner, brown eyeshadow and lip gloss completed her glamour.

Lipa is currently working with stylist Jahleel Weaver, whose main client is Rihanna. Weaver first dressed Lipa for the Met Gala in May, where she wore a lace lingerie-inspired look by Marc Jacobs.

Last month, Ratajkowski was named Intimissimi’s new U.S. brand ambassador. The supermodel follows in the footsteps of Jennifer Lopez, who was named Intimissimi’s global brand ambassador in 2023.

“I am thrilled to join Intimissimi as a U.S. brand ambassador,” Ratajkowski said in a statement. “Intimissimi celebrates women and femininity in such an inspiring way, and I’m excited to help introduce this iconic brand to more women across the United States. I truly believe in the power of beautiful lingerie to make you feel confident and strong, and Intimissimi does this beautifully.”
