When looking for outfit inspiration, two names always come to mind: Olivia Rodrigo and Selena Gomez. The singers each have their unique style, but in addition to excellent voices, they have superb taste in fashion. When we spotted both wearing a pair of black high-heeled Mary Janes in the same week, you can bet it caught our attention.
Mary Janes have been around since the 1900s, and it's safe to say they've evolved quite a bit over the past century. Today, stiletto and stacked-heel styles can be found just as often as the original flat version of the shoes. From affordable $50 pairs to pricier designer takes on the trend, there's a pair of Mary Janes out there to suit just about any outfit.
But let's keep it simple. Taking a cue from Gomez and Rodrigo, we've pulled 13 of the prettiest black high-heeled Mary Janes available to shop now. Suede, satin, and patent leather prevail, with heels coming in a variety of heights and shapes. Not all Mary Janes look the same, so keep scrolling to find the pair that speaks to you, and get ready to strap 'em on for the holidays.
On Olivia Rodrigo: Shushu/Tong dress; Jennifer Behr headband; Christian Louboutin shoes
Rodrigo has worn similar platform pumps on several occasions.
On Selena Gomez: The Frankie Shop coat; Miu Miu jacket and skirt; Khaite belt; Stuart Weitzman shoes
Perfection, no notes.
