When it comes to celebrity style, it’s easy to jump straight into conversations about red carpet looks and directional Instagram posts of avant-garde outfits. But the truth is the stars love their jeans just as much as we do. Thank goodness for that because they inadvertently provide a mountain of inspiration on how to style them the moment they step out on the streets.
Lately, in place of high heels, I’ve noticed that some of my favourite fashion-proficient celebs have been wearing jeans exclusively with flat shoes, and I want in. I’m not big into trainers, so I’m always on the lookout for flat-footwear solutions to wear with my denim, and it just so happens that Dakota Johnson, Sienna Miller and Zoë Kravitz (to name a few) have been exploring this combination in recent weeks.
So which flat shoes have celebrities been wearing with their jeans? Instead of telling you, let me show you. Scroll on to see seven foolproof celebrity jeans outfits I want to copy immediately. Something tells me you’ll want to too.
