We all know by now that celebrities love viral shoes just as much as we do. It's fun to get in on the action, and most of them have the access necessary to do so. But what about the shoes they wear when they're not in the latest runway release from Prada or Saint Laurent? Lately, it's been timeless flat mules.

In the last few years, I've noticed an influx of celebs donning easy pairs of slide-on flats that pair perfectly with their various skirt, jeans, and trouser outfits. Plus, mules look so much more refined and put-together than sneakers do, making them an obvious choice for anyone who's thrilled about fashion's new interest in swan fashion and all things elegance. Sofia Richie Grainge wore them during a trip at the end of last year to New York City. Jasmine Tookes was just raving about a Manolo Blahnik Maysale pair on her TikTok. Now, Laura Harrier's joining the flat-mule movement.

This week, Harrier stepped out in Los Angeles wearing an easy outfit combination consisting of a soft-yellow overshirt, a white tee, and vintage jeans. She added her signature black oval-shaped shades, a suede camel-colored slouchy bag, and sleek black mules on her feet. They were the perfect finishing touch for an errand-day outfit.
