These $130 Flats Are a Dead Ringer for Dakota Fanning's Designer Pair

Dakota Fanning has been on a roll with her press tour outfits while promoting her upcoming film The Watchers. For the New York premiere, she and her stylist, Samantha McMillen, chose a slinky green Loewe gown, and for a London red carpet, they settled on a pretty floral Erdem number. But she's not only looking chic during press events; her off-duty style this week has been excellent as well.

Case in point: the black maxi dress she just wore on the streets of New York City. She styled her sleek off-the-shoulder dress with The Row's Ava Leather Mary Jane Flats, which are priced at an extravagant $820. Needless to say, you don't have to spend a fortune to get the very same look. Sam Edelman's Michaela Mary Jane Flats ($130) are a fan favorite over on Nordstrom's website, boasting over 300 positive reviews.

Associate Director, Fashion News

Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 13 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible. Outside of work, she loves tennis, classic rock, traveling, and smothering her dog with affection.
