Celebrities love skinny jeans, and we don't blame them. In fact, the stylish celeb set is where we often look first when seeking fresh skinny-jean inspiration, and they've been serving up plenty of it lately. Specifically, the best dressed actresses, models, influencers, and even a couple of royals have great skinny-jean outfits down to a science and collectively seem to gravitate toward certain styling tricks and pieces to pair with them. And often the thing we notice the most is what they're not wearing with their beloved skinny jeans.
Of particular interest is the shoe department. Our recent perusals of celebs in their skinny jeans has made it quite clear that they're over wearing ballet flats with skinny jeans (for now, at least). This doesn't mean that ballet flats are out, per se. It just means that celebs have moved on to fresher shoe styles to pair with their classic skinny jeans. So what exactly are they wearing instead? Below, we highlighted the boot, heel, flats, and sneaker styles they've swapped them out for. Keep scrolling to see (and shop) the styles that are trending, via Emma Roberts, Kerry Washington, Chrissy Teigen, and more.
