If you scroll through as many celebrity images as we do, you begin noticing unique trends and similarities. For example, how just about every It girl tested out the of-the-moment bomber jacket look this season. But what about footwear specifically? Well, after taking a glimpse at a few recent snaps, we realized that the absolute most stylish celebs have one shoe style in common: statement ankle boots. Seriously—fashion A-listers from Kendall Jenner to Rihanna to Olivia Culpo all step out in a variety of eye-catching booties. We're talking interesting moto boots, gorgeous velvet options, flashy sock-inspired finds, and everything in between. We totally understand why these ladies opt for this style—wearing a flashier pair of boots is one of the simplest way to make even the most standard outfit feel unique and interesting.
Keep reading to see how our favorite celebs wear their statement booties. Plus, shop each pick as well.
The lace-up trend isn't going anywhere anytime soon. Take a cue from Rosie and pair an open-toe style with skinny jeans and a white blouse for in-between weather.
On Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Gianvito Rossi Ankle Suede Boots ($857); Gucci sunglasses; Jenni Kayne top; Paige Hoxton Ankle Skinny Jeans ($105); Givenchy bag.
This Yeezy silhouette is proving to be one of the It boots of the season, and we love how Hailey Baldwin styled hers with distressed skinnies and a pretty tank.
On Hailey Baldwin: Yeezy Season 2 High Knit Boots ($770); Are You Am I Zillah Camisole ($179).
This tan shade feels incredibly fresh for the season, especially paired with white jeans and an interesting blouse like Olivia here.
On Olivia Culpo: Chloé bag.
If there's one trend everyone must adopt this fall, it's velvet, and one of the easiest ways to test out the trend is trying a velvet pair of booties like Gigi Hadid.

On Bella Hadid: Dior Split Two-Tone Metallic Aviator Sunglasses ($555) and boots; Flynn Skye Marley Bodysuit ($96); Givenchy Micro Lucrezia Tote ($1296).

You literally can't get any cooler than Rihanna, and her Vetements sock boots are on trend and feel incredibly of-the-moment.
