I certainly like to ogle at celebrities’ glittering gowns and heels at red carpet events, but those outfits don’t exactly inspire my personal wardrobe. Who has occasion to wear a beaded floor-length dress, anyway? That’s why I love seeing how celebs dress for more casual occasions and identifying popular themes. 

Case in point: Lily James, Jodie Comer, Kate Middleton, and Anna Wintour have all been spotted in one specific shoe trend: flat espadrilles. James styled them with army-green trousers, while Comer went with a super-casual denim outfit. Meanwhile, Wintour and Middleton both polished up the laid-back shoes with pretty printed dresses. Scroll down to see how celebrities are wearing flat espadrilles, and shop my favorite pairs. 

On Lily James: Versace La Medusa Small Handbag ($2125)

In my opinion, Soludos is the gold standard when it comes to flat espadrilles. 

This pretty lace detail really ups the ante. 

On Jodie Comer: Saint Laurent espadrilles

Manebi is another fantastic brand to consider for all of your espadrille needs. 

Designer splurge, anyone? 

On Anna Wintour: Chanel espadrilles

These will go with every outfit under the sun. 

I’m simply obsessed with this floral lace detail. 

On Kate Middleton: Tory Burch dress; Ray-Ban sunglasses; Stella McCartney espadrilles; Sézane earrings

Copy Kate Middleton and try a fresh white pair. 

Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle both wear Castañer espadrilles.
