At New York Fashion Week, the Classic Ultra Mini makes its way into the model’s off-duty wardrobe.
Bella Hadid arrives in New York for Fashion Week in an outfit that looks effortlessly put together yet combines some of contemporary style’s most recognizable codes: a plaid shirt, a graphic T-shirt, relaxed-fit denim, a brown jacket, and a pair of UGGs.
For footwear, the model opts for the Classic Ultra Mini in chestnut—one of UGG’s most recognizable styles. It is a detail that peeks out from beneath the ankle-cuffed denim, rounding off a relaxed outfit that blends Americana influences, streetwear, and an outdoor aesthetic.
Thus, her arrival in New York—following a helicopter landing—becomes a stylish moment as well. Bella Hadid once again demonstrates how an off-duty wardrobe can be a space where comfort, heritage, and aesthetic sensibility coexist without looking contrived.
UGG Classic Ultra Mini: when the icon changes proportions
The Classic Ultra Mini comes from the same family as the Classic Boot but reimagines its silhouette with a lower shaft. The result is a more compact shoe that is easy to slip on and off, and particularly well-suited to a wide variety of outfits.
Shearling, chestnut, and a recognizable silhouette.
The model retains some of the elements that have defined the UGG aesthetic, starting with the iconic sheepskin. The version worn by Bella Hadid features the signature “Chestnut” color—a shade that pairs naturally with denim and the warmer palettes of autumn.
The low shaft also highlights the interplay between shoe and trousers: in the model’s look, the cuffed denim becomes an integral part of the composition, transforming the UGG boot into a visual element as well as a functional one.
The ultralight sole
Beneath the upper, the Classic Ultra Mini features a flexible, ultra-lightweight sole. The outsole can be made from sugarcane-based EVA—a foam derived from sugarcane that helps reduce the use of petroleum-based ethylene.
The model is also pre-treated to help preserve its appearance for longer.
From comfort to outdoor lifestyle
UGG’s cyclical return to fashion wardrobes reflects a broader phenomenon: the progressive blending of technical apparel, comfortwear, street style, and high fashion.
The Classic Ultra Mini fits perfectly into this space. It makes no attempt to look like an outdoor shoe, yet it brings an aesthetic rooted in comfort and functionality into everyday life, becoming part of an increasingly fluid contemporary wardrobe.
In New York, Bella Hadid pairs it with plaid, denim, and earthy tones—a simple combination, yet precise enough to turn a classic UGG into a key element of the look.
