Complex takes a look at some of the most beautiful women who repeatedly seem to make sneakers look better with every wear. Check out 15 Girls Who Make Awesome Sneakers Look Better and let us know who your favorite is.

Cher Lloyd

Air Jordan III "Cement"

Who: Cher Lloyd

This The X Factor finalist had the whole world take notice of her voice, and those who were paying attention saw her dope rotation of kicks. When she took to the stage in a Phillies jersey, cut-off jean shorts, and the classic clean Js—well, you don't have to have a team of stylists to duplicate this great look.

Cassie

Nike Dunk Sky High

Who: Cassie Ventura

Cassie is one of the baddest in the game, why else would we have put her on our cover twice? In Nicki Minaj's video for "Boys", Diddy's official girl used the updated women's-only Dunks perfectly with her sexy outfit. If you were on the fence about getting your girl a pair, this should have helped.

Vanessa Hudgens

Nike LunarEclipse+ 2 "Anthracite/Bright Mango/Silver"

Who: Vanessa Hudgens

Don't front, half the reason you hit the gym is to check out girls toning up in clothes that show it all off. Vanessa Hudgens is the queen of making Nike runners and gym clothes look so good. We are down to spar a few rounds anytime.

Tahiry Jose

Air Jordan III "True Blue"

Who: Tahiry Jose

Sweatpants, hair tied back, chillin' with no make-up on...and Jordan IIIs. Sometimes its the simple things that make a chick the baddest.

Stacy Keibler

Air Jordan X "White/Medium Violet-Light Graphite"

Who: Stacy Keibler

Normally a women's Jordan wouldn't be on our radar but seeing that it is the flawless Stacy Keibler who remembered her kicks and forgot her pants, 10s across the board.

Ciara

adidas Originals x Jeremy Scott "Wings"

Who: Ciara

Ciara has always had style since she broke in the game in 2004 with “Goodies.” Making the J. Scott “Wings” look sexy is no easy feat, but it earned her a campaign with adidas Originals in 2010.

Christina Milian

Nike LeBron 9 iD

Who: Christina Milian

Most girls don't venture into the iDs often and when they do its typically runners — C. Mili used the Bron 9s as the canvas for dope accents paired with a chill boyfriend sweater and jeans. The perfect look for the chick you want to watch your favorite shows with on the couch.

Jessica Burciaga

Air Jordan XII "Cool Grey"

Who: Jessica Burciaga

As much as everyone likes to act like every Jordan release is the greatest one yet, the "Cool Grey" XIIs didn't quite rate up there with the rest in 2012. But when Playmate Jessica Burciaga Instagramed a photo donning the kicks in a simple white tank and shorts, she may have upgraded them more than his Airness could have if he came out of retirement again and rocked them on court for the Bobcats. Sorry, Mike.

Alicia Keys

Reebok Question

Who: Alicia Keys

Being Mrs. Swizz Beatz has its perks, but none more than getting first dibs on these dope Reebok retros that have been dropping in 2012. When our recent covergirl was spotted rooftop rocking the Questions in simple denim and tee she killed it — simple but sexy.

Vashtie

Air Jordan II "Vashtie"

Who: Vashtie

Vashtie is basically Beyonce for us regular dudes and her style is on point — so dope, even Jordan had to ask her to upgrade the IIs. And of course she made them look good. It's okay to fall in love, everyone else has too.

Teyana Taylor

Air Jordan XI "Space Jams"

Who: Teyana Taylor

We had to pay respect to the woman who made rocking sneakers sexy. Teyana's sneaker game is on point for either gender and those added curves still break more necks than that patent leather.

Kim Kardashian

Nike Air Yeezy II "Black/Solar Red"

Who: Kim Kardashian

Kim's sneaker connect is pretty legit and after she started dating Kanye you knew it was only a matter of time before we spotted the twos — the Yeezys, that is. Already one of the hypest releases in sneaker history, you would think anyone could make these look dope. But this is next-level. You did catch Miss DASH laying across the bed in black spandex, right?

Rihanna

Nike Air Force 180 Mid "Black/Volt"

Who: Rihanna

Pair Rihanna's IDGAF attitude with 2012's greatest color accent, Volt, for a topless spotted — every sneakerhead's fantasy. Less truly is more sometimes. Hi Rihanna.

Rita Ora

Air Jordan X "Chicago"

Who: Rita Ora

Rita Ora has quickly taken over as 2012's female sneaker rookie of the year, consistently making Nikes and Jordans part of her photo shoots and stage outfits. The Xs are cool but look even better with Rita posing in a pair blended perfectly with her streetwear steez.

Kate Upton

Air Jordan VII "Mineral Blues"

Who: Kate Upton

Could you name the colorway before sneaker blogs identified it for you? Only a 5-10 SI swimsuit model could make so much noise over a women's pair of Jordans. When Upton rocked the VIIs in a photo she posted on Twitter last spring, the whole internets took notice and her most-clothed photo to date proved that you don't need to let it all hang out to appeal to real men, by which of course we mean sneakerheads.
