In the most recent update in the "celebrities vs fashion" war, Ariana Grande has been spotted wearing Crocs and socks.
Yes. Crocs. With socks. Just let that sink in.
The pop star shared a mirror selfie with her 164 million Instagram followers while sporting the hideous combo and, quite bizarrely, people were loving her look. Though, let's be real, the God is a Woman singer could emerge on stage in a potato sack and her scarily loyal fans would still be living for it.
Keep scrolling to see Ariana's questionable footwear choice and the hilarious online reaction to her not-s0-fresh creps.
Ariana Grande has become somewhat of a fashion icon.
Since her debut in 2008 where she played thirteen-year-old cheerleader, Charlotte in 13 The Musical, Ariana has reached unprecedented levels of fame and, therefore, has become the idol for millions of young girls around the world.The pop star has seen major musical success in the last couple of years.
Her debut album, Yours Truly was released in 2013 and debuted at No. 1 on the US Billboard 200 chart and since then, Grande has gone on to win more than eighty-four awards throughout her colorful career. All 3 of Grande's full-length albums have been certified platinum by the RIAA.Grande was even named Billboard's Woman of the Year in 2018.

This award was established to recognize "women in the music industry who have made significant contributions to the business and who, through their work and continued success, inspire generations of women to take on increasing responsibilities within the field." That ridiculous pony-tail alone should be inspiration enough...So, yeah. She's a pretty successful woman.

At the ripe age of twenty-six, Ariana has already achieved ridiculous levels of success. Beats what I was doing when I was twenty-six...On top of her musical abilities, Ariana has also made a name for herself in the world of fashion.
Because pop stars always do, don't they?Her unique look has become iconic all over the world.
The signature swishy-swashy ponytail, skimpy hotpants, giant puffer jackets, and constant thigh-high stiletto boots... Just a brief summary of the much-loved Ariana Grande look.The pop star can seemingly do no wrong when it comes to fashion.
Ari has got to that level of fame now. Latex bunny masks, frilly pink frocks, luxurious fur jackets... You name it, she's worn it.Until now.
Yep, Ariana has committed a crime so bad, that the fashion police may need to be called.Well, I at least think it's bad...
Because, bizarrely, everyone else seems to be loving Ariana's fashion blunder.In Ariana's recent Instagram selfie...
Eagle-eyed fans couldn't help but notice her questionable footwear... CROCS WITH SOCKS. Just in case you didn't hear it the first time around.Another angle...
Yep, even with the cute "leg up in the air" pose, it still looks revolting. Sorry, Ari. But, in total, her 2 selfies raked in roughly 10 million likes. I never thought I'd say that in an article about Crocs...The last time I checked, Crocs weren't cool.
Or trendy. Or pretty. Or cute. Or anything remotely positive, for that matter.But, now the Queen of pop has worn them...
Everyone wants a pair. Obviously.People loved Ariana's suddenly-trendy Crocs.
And people have legitimately been buying Crocs...

But in this instance, it is more "I saw Ariana Grande wearing Crocs, so I bought Crocs."This Twitter user made an excellent point...
