These off-duty looks produced head-scratching trends adopted by the masses: Juicy Couture velour tracksuits with script on the derrieres, ragged-edge miniskirts paired with Ugg boots, and baby tees emblazoned with words like angel. Page-boy caps, It bags, and a Starbucks Frappuccino finished off the look.
