We’ve all had a moment of twinning with our BFFs — who remembers when Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez matched in high-waisted jeans while out to dinner? Well, another girl duo was spotted rocking the same shoe style we’re seeing everywhere in recent months.
While in New York City a few weeks ago, Kendall Jenner and Gigi Hadid stepped out in ballet flats, but styled them in two completely different ways. Jenner wore straight-leg blue jeans, a boat neck top, and black square-toe ballet flats, while Hadid wore baggy cargo pants, a long-sleeve top, and Mary Jane flats. And they’re not the only celebs to get in on the trend this year — Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lawrence, and Angelina Jolie have all worn various styles.
It’s time to ditch your white sneakers, because ballet flats are more airy and sophisticated, all while keeping you supported. Try summer’s “it” shoe with these picks from Amazon, Nordstrom, and more from $12.

Vionic Orinda Square-Toe Ballet Flat
Nordstrom
Jenner’s square-toe flats look like this pair at Nordstrom. The timeless silhouette and sleek black hue make them easy to match with anything in your summer closet, whether you wear them with a dress, shorts, or jeans like Jenner did. The square toe box is not only polished, but it’s also way roomier for your feet. These shoes go one step further — they have a footbed that molds to your feet to enhance stability.

You can add elegance to your outfit without a thought with Mary Jane flats like this Amazon pair that has a similar style to Hadid’s. The foot strap is adjustable for a custom fit, plus they are a heels alternative that you can wear to summer weddings. They even passed tests of comfort for one mom-to-be: “I’ve been looking for shoes that are both stylish and comfortable, and these fit the bill perfectly. The round toe and ankle strap give them a sleek, dressy look, while still being supportive enough for my growing feet.”
