The “And Just Like That…” star paired Gucci’s logo-covered “Run” silhouette with a tan double-breasted blazer and tapered trousers in the same hue. Retailing for $980, the sporty shoes feature a blue and beige leather upper emblazoned with the brand’s signature GG motif throughout.

The running-inspired style, which debuted as a part of Gucci’s spring 2022 collection, offers a chunky, curvy design and includes light purple laces with black flecks. While Parker went with the logo-heavy blue and beige version, the “Run” is also available in a variety of other editions.

Over the years, Parker has proven herself to be unafraid of taking fashion risks and frequently steps out in bold looks. She embraces vibrant colors and loud prints and when it comes to shoes, you might find her wearing hot pink sandals or lacy booties when she’s not in sneakers.
