Jennifer Lawrence Wore the Classic Shoe Style French People Love

If there’s a celebrity shoe closet I would love to raid, it would definitely be Jennifer Lawrence’s. Her selection of footwear—which includes a mix of relaxed, refined, and anti-trend styles like clogs, sneakers, and sleek flats—perfectly aligns with my need for comfort and love for enduring staples. So naturally, when I saw a new off-duty photo of her today, my eyes immediately dropped to her classic ballet flats.

Lawrence effortlessly proved that ballet flats are timeless, wearing Alaïa’s patent leather cross-strap style. She styled them like so many of our favorite French women do: with a voluminous midi skirt. Then, she subtly and expertly layered more polished elements like an oversized burgundy button-down shirt and tortoise shell sunglasses that proved to be the perfect finishing touches.
