In its heyday, going to the mall was an absolute event that necessitated an outfit worthy of the occasion—we’re talking Abercrombie jeans, Hollister tees, the freshest pair of Converse. But as online shopping boomed, malls fell by the wayside. Then yesterday in Los Angeles, Zendaya and Tom Holland made a case for the return of the mall ’fit.
The two braved the Topanga Mall, the San Fernando Valley’s crown jewel shopping center. It’s a gathering place for strollers (of the baby and walking variety), unsupervised tweens (this writer once purchased synthetic purple clip-in hair extension from the Topanga Hot Topic), and last-minute holiday shoppers. It’s safe to say that the pair fall into the latter category.
