While Meghan Markle has never been one to shy away from classic high heels, this year, she’s all about practical ballet flats.

Case in point? Although we’re only four months into 2024, the Duchess of Sussex has already worn the footwear trend more times than we can count — and her latest outing was no exception. On March 21, Meghan visited the Children’s Hospital Los Angeles while wearing a semi-sheer floral sundress, gold jewelry, and her new go-to shoe silhouette complete with an extra-supportive detail: ankle straps.

Meghan isn’t the only fan of ballet flats: Katie Holmes recently co-signed the trend by wearing a pastel pink pair, and Taylor Swift once changed into a bow-covered pair after performing her 3-hour Eras Tour setlist.

While it’s hard to go wrong with any celeb-worn style, Meghan’s take on the trend is great for long days of walking, dancing at weddings, or other occasions that require a bit more support. We rounded up styles inspired by her look at Amazon, Macy’s, Old Navy, and Steve Madden, and prices start at just $18.

This pair of ballet flats from Amazon has racked up more than 4,600 perfect ratings from shoppers, and it looks so similar to Meghan’s. Reviewers prefer how they’re “professional” enough for work while still being “comfortable” enough to withstand long days of wear. One shopper even noted that they were able to walk “over 8 miles” in the flats without any blisters. Take a page out of the Duchess’ stylebook by pairing them with a breezy sundress, or try styling them with jeans or shorts for a more casual look.

“I bought my normal size and wore them straight out of the box to a wedding,” one reviewer wrote. “They were wonderful and comfy for all the walking and dancing. No issues at all. I plan on [getting] several more colors.”
