Whitney Port attended the Vans Custom Culture Final event in Long Beach, so it makes sense that she wore a pair of its sneakers to the party. Whitney opted to pair her denim button-down with Mother Denim tropical-print jeans ($250), which Karolina Kurkova also has, a red Rebecca Minkoff ostrich-embossed bag, and Vans leopard-print sneakers ($55).

>> Kenzo creative directors Carol Lim and Humberto Leon have created a line of shoes for Vans that will be released this Summer.

The unisex shoes, priced around $130, will be sold in three staggered releases at Kenzo and Opening Ceremony stores — one in May, one in June, and one in July. The first edition fuses the red, blue, and green prints from Kenzo's Spring 2012 collection with the design for the Vans Era, a classic lace-up skate shoe.

Lim and Leon, the team behind Opening Ceremony, told Vogue UK that they've worn Vans for years and "liked the idea of infusing this bit of American style into the house of Kenzo."

Kristen Stewart is known for her tomboy charm, and now that she's the new face of Balenciaga, she's putting her own spin on the house's couture collections. While out in Paris, Kristen donned a dark-hued look: Joe's Abigail tank, cuffed gray skinnies by 7 for All Mankind, and her signature Vans, which she topped with a badass Balenciaga quilted motorcycle jacket. Here's a less-expensive alternative. Clear sunglasses, red nail polish, and that classic Kristen smolder finish off her edgy look. Channel your inner Kristen by layering a leather jacket over an all-black ensemble — don't forget the Vans — or style your leather topper over a black dress for a rock-chic take on evening wear.

ZIPZ Give Kids Endless and Interchangeable Sneaker Options

Just give it a zip!

Just give it a zip! We've seen two classic sneaker companies get more kid-friendly this season with the introduction of a Dr. Seuss line of Chuck Taylors and Yo Gabba Gabba Vans. Now, youngsters can design their own shoes with a new line of kicks called ZIPZ.

Using a mix and match philosophy, kids buy a ZIPZ shoe sole ($18) and then zip on the top of their choice (starting at $24). Tykes can choose from colorful low-tops or Converse-inspired canvas high-tops in a variety of bright and bold patterns. When the children tire of their shoes, additional tops can be zipped on for completely new looks.
