I might not have much in common with Katie Holmes, but we are the same height (5'9"), so I have a feeling she could relate to my neverending quest to find flats that are actually cute. But tall girls are far from the only people who want the practicality of flats without sacrificing style. French girls like Leia Sfez and Tamara Mory, for instance, love Chanel's iconic slingback flats, but they can be considerably out of reach for the average shopper—that's why I was excited to see Holmes wear under-$200 slingbacks that have the same vibe.
Photographed in New York City, Holmes wore Kate Spade New York Veronica Slingback Flats ($198), which come in five different colors. Holmes paired her white versions with a beautiful butterfly-bedecked dress, also by Kate Spade New York, but the black, tan, yellow, and green iterations of the shoes are equally chic. Scroll down to shop Katie Holmes's flats before they sell out.
