Puma called in the launch of its Speedcat sneaker in Milan on Tuesday with the help of celebrity guests Dua Lipa and Emily Ratajkowski. The “It” shoe was officially re-released in 2024, with Lust named it the “world’s hottest sneaker” in October.

Of course, both Lipa and Ratajkowski donned the trendy footwear and coordinated in all-black looks.

Lipa paired an oversized Puma racing jacket with a leather corset, leopard print mini skirt and sheer tights. She also added a diamond studded chain necklace from Tiffany & Co.’s Tiffany Titan collection, a collaboration with Pharrell Williams. The “Radical Optimism” singer wore her brunette locks in waves while her makeup consisted of brown lip liner and rosy blush.

Ratajkowski, meanwhile, layered a plunging Aya Muse mini dress over flared leggings. A silver statement pendant necklace and a black handbag topped off her ensemble. Winged eyeliner, brown eyeshadow and lip gloss rounded off her glam look.

Lipa currently works with stylist Jahleel Weaver, whose main client is Rihanna. Weaver first dressed Lipa for the Met Gala in May, where she wore a lacy, lingerie-inspired look by Marc Jacobs.

Last month, Ratajkowski was named Intimissimi’s new US brand ambassador. The supermodel follows in the footsteps of Jennifer Lopez, who was named Intimissimi’s global brand ambassador in 2023.

“I am thrilled to join Intimissimi as their US brand ambassador,” Ratajkowski said in a statement. “Intimissimi celebrates women and femininity in such an inspiring way, and I’m excited to help introduce this iconic brand to more women across the U.S. I truly believe in the power of beautiful lingerie to make you feel confident and empowered, and Intimissimi does this beautifully.”
