After filming The Hills in October 2008, Audrina Patridge stepped out in skinny jeans, a ruched taupe top, and wedge sandals – and the footwear choice shifts the entire mood.
Very 2008. In a good way.
When Audrina Patridge returning home after filming The Hills in October 2008 steps out in this street style moment, it’s a clean snapshot of that era’s off-camera uniform. Dark skinny jeans, a fitted taupe top, oversized sunglasses, done.
The top is cut with a deep V neckline and soft ruching through the center, which shapes the fit without feeling stiff. The fabric looks lightweight and slightly stretchy, hugging close through the waist. That detail alone keeps the outfit from reading flat. Paired with dark, low-rise jeans that taper through the leg, the proportions feel very much of their time.
Then there are the tan wedge sandals. Thick straps, cork-style platform, open toe. They add height without the sharpness of a stiletto, which keeps this firmly in off-duty look territory rather than night-out mode. It’s relaxed, but still intentional.
The accessories stay practical: a slouchy black shoulder bag, stacked bracelets, a chunky watch, and aviator sunglasses that anchor the whole thing in early-2000s celebrity casual. This is the kind of everyday outfit that defined so much of celebrity street style in that era – simple base, statement shoe, big shades.
Would you swap the wedges for something sleeker today, or lean into the throwback vibe?
For me, the wedges are the entire point.
