Cara Delevingne made a stop at the White House yesterday to weigh in at a Funny or Die-sponsored roundtable talk on climate change, and she took to Instagram to document her trip.
"Let's see how you feel about climate change in 10 years Mr Trump! It is painfully real," she wrote on Instagram, along with photos where she posed on the White House lawn and in front of a portrait of Abraham Lincoln.
But the Washington Post wasn't down with the footwear Delevingne chose for the occasion. She paired her all-black outfit with Puma by Rihanna black and white Creepers.
"That’s athletic footwear treading the marble of the inner chambers of global power," the Washington Post's Emily Heil writes. "The rest of her ensemble — a black trench coat and skirt — would have looked at home in a boardroom. But the kicks read more casual."
Turns out sneakers, like flip flops, aren't approved White House apparel, even if you're a global superstar.
"I am a big believer that you should respect the setting you are in," former government-affairs exec-turned fashion blogger Marissa Mitrovich told the Washington Post. "And when you are at the White House for a business meeting, I say you do not wear sneakers."
