Like most fashion people, Jennifer Lawrence understands the power of a great pair of sneakers, as seen by her consistent rotation of retro kicks lately. Her off-duty looks have heavily emphasized nostalgic athleticism, from her Adidas Tokyo sneakers to the brand’s Taekwondo model and Nike’s cult-favorite V2K Run. That said, even the most devoted sneakerhead knows that sometimes, the occasion calls for something more refined, like Alaïa ballet flats.
While Alaïa has long been loved for its handbags and eveningwear, its ballet flats have quietly emerged as the insider’s choice, with the mesh, crystal, and laser-cut designs being street-style staples. This season, however, Lawrence is making a compelling case for the brand’s leopard print version. Crafted from plush calf hair, accented with black leather trim, and finished with a silver buckle, these flats seamlessly blend sophistication with timeless elegance.
On Jennifer Lawrence: Alaïa Criss Cross Ballet Flats ($1250); Fendi Selleria Doctor Bag ($277); Garrett Leight Woz Sun Sunglasses ($76)
Whether paired with a statement coat and black pants like Lawrence or with blue jeans and a white tee, these shoes offer what retro sneakers can’t: a touch of polish, poise, and that subtly luxurious Alaïa flair. Scroll on to shop for Lawrence’s exact pair—or explore the suddenly ubiquitous leopard-print flat trend.
