The TV star was celebrating the grand opening of Crocs’ new SoHo store at 543 Broadway in early August.

The brunette was stepping out in her new favorite style: the Classic Crafted Clog. 

Tung wore a powder blue oversized T-shirt with black painter pants that had several pockets down the front. Her Crocs were a caramel brown color. 

‘Had the best time meeting you guys yesterday and hanging out at the @crocs new soho store,’ wrote the Crocs spokesperson on Instagram.

This comes after she talked about the third and final season of her hit series The Summer I Turned Pretty. It is a very popular love triangle story that is full of beautiful people set at picturesque Cousins Beach.

In mid July she talked up the show while on The Tonight Show. She discussed which hunky brother her character, charmer Isabel ‘Belly’ Conklin, will end up with.

The men who want her are Jeremiah, played by Gavin Casalegno, and Conrad, played by Christopher Briney. 

‘Season 2 ended with a major cliffhanger. This was a big deal. I mean, your character, Belly, chose Jeremiah over Conrad,’ Jimmy Fallon said before asking Tung what she thought about that ending.

‘I’m all for her following her heart,’ the actress shared as she said she was ‘Team Belly.’

Belly was careful to not give any secretive plot details away. She continued: ‘And she’s doing what she needs to do in the moment, and following her heart in that moment and in every moment.’

In a snippet shared during the show, viewers see Belly watching Jeremiah play Twister when Conrad calls him.

Jeremiah asks Belly to answer and she and Conrad have an awkward exchange.

When asked about Season 3, Tung said, ‘I think it’s a lot more of the emotional rollercoaster you’re used to, I guess, and also, you know, there’s a little time jump, so we meet the characters in a little bit of a more mature place, I think.’

Season three takes place four years after season two ended. 

While on The Tonight Show Tung wore a John Galliano for Dior corset dress from a 2001 collection, along with a pair of 2013 Dior Mary Jane pumps as she accessorized with Panconesi earrings.

In a trailer for the show’s third and final season, Conrad is seen asking Belly’s best friend Taylor (played by Rain Spencer) for advice about his plan to come back into Belly’s life.

It’s clear he is ready to win her over again.

Sanders went on to speak about how The Summer I Turned Pretty, which was created by Jenny Han, had quickly become a fan-favorite program.

‘This charming, deeply heartfelt series has shown the breadth of our customer base, appealing to a young, diverse set of viewers. Jenny Han is a gifted storyteller, whose fans have been clamoring for the third chapter of this story,’ he stated.

The Summer I Turned Pretty is based on Han’s book of the same name, which was originally released in 2009.

The book was followed up by a pair of sequels that were published in 2010 and 2011, respectively.

The series is centered on Isabel ‘Belly’ Conklin, a teenage girl who ends up in a love triangle with a pair of brothers.
