As you can see, she’s wearing those leather studded Isabel Marant pants which juuuuust appeared on the runway at PFW last month. Click here to see the collection. I noted when I posted it that celebrity stylists would be calling right away about these pants. And it appears that Shelfy won them before anyone else.
