I’m a firm believer that shoes make or break an outfit — which is why I’m looking to celebrities to inspire my footwear lineup this season.

Zendaya, Kate Middleton, Jennifer Lopez, and more stars are all making a case for flats this fall, and I, for one, am not complaining. From trendy brown slip-ons and ballet-inspired flats to classic Mary Janes and sleek glove silhouettes, these styles offer a darling (not dowdy!) take on walking shoes that won’t leave me longing for slippers at the end of a long day.

Below, shop celebrity-inspired flats at Amazon, Nordstrom, Dolce Vita, and more starting at $23.

Zendaya

Lucky Brand Tinnia Ballet Flat

$69 at Nordstrom

I’ve had burgundy flats on my wish list ever since Zendaya broke out a pair earlier this season. This similar style lets me channel her look for less than $70. While the color adds a funky twist on fall footwear, the silhouette remains totally classic. The result? A comfortable shoe that offers the best of both worlds.

Katie Holmes

Franco Sarto Oakes Flats

$135 $96 at Amazon

Brown flats may very well be the most popular shoe trend of the season — I see them every time I step out of my New York City apartment. Try it for yourself (and twin with Katie Holmes) with these Franco Sarto Mary Janes, which have a fashion-forward square toe and cushioned footbed.

“Shockingly comfortable from the get-go,” wrote one shopper. “[I] wore them on the plane and on vacation with no blisters or rubbing.”

Kate Middleton

Mefound Faux Leather Flats

$26 $25 at Amazon

Kate isn’t the only one wearing loafers this fall — Taylor Swift and Lopez have tried the style on for size, too (plus, Alix Earle told us it’s one of the fall trends she’s currently eyeing). This slip-on pair at Amazon has earned high praise for its comfortable feel and professional look, with one reviewer calling them “gorgeous, elegant and sharp” and “amazing to walk around in.”

Gwyneth Paltrow

Dream Pairs Tie Mary Jane Ballet Flats

$46 at Amazon

Put the “ballet” back into ballet flats with these Gwyneth Paltrow-inspired shoes, complete with darling adjustable bow-tie straps. Available in four colors, including a holiday-ready black sequin option, these shoes “go with everything” and feel “buttery soft,” per one reviewer. I can already picture myself styling them with jeans and slacks now and capris like Paltrow, come spring.

Jennifer Lopez

Project Cloud Bow Ballet Flats

$35 at Amazon

With winter weather growing closer by the day, I’m already mentally preparing for a mid-season getaway — and Lopez’s vacation outfit is offering plenty of packing inspo. These bow ballet flats resemble the pair she wore while sightseeing abroad, and one reviewer who struggles with swollen feet said they could wear them while standing for “nine hours straight” without any pain.

Kendall Jenner

Steve Madden Cyntra Leather Flat

$79 at Nordstrom

Who said basic black flats had to be boring? This Steve Madden pair calls to mind the glove flat trend I’ve spotted on Kendall Jenner and Sarah Pidgeon. Our writer confirmed the silhouette works with everything from jeans and work pants to dresses and skirts.
