7 Easy Jeans and Flat-Shoe Pairings I'm Stealing From Celebs
When it comes to celebrity style, it’s easy to jump straight into conversations about red carpet looks and directional Instagram posts of avant-garde outfits. But the truth is the stars love their jeans just as much as we do. Thank goodness for that because they inadvertently provide a mountain of inspiration on how to style them the moment they step out on the streets.
Lately, in place of high heels, I’ve noticed that some of my favourite fashion-proficient celebs have been wearing jeans exclusively with flat shoes, and I want in. I’m not big into trainers, so I’m always on the lookout for flat-footwear solutions to wear with my denim, and it just so happens that Dakota Johnson, Sienna Miller and Zoë Kravitz (to name a few) have been exploring this combination in recent weeks.
So which flat shoes have celebrities been wearing with their jeans? Instead of telling you, let me show you. Scroll on to see seven foolproof celebrity jeans outfits I want to copy immediately. Something tells me you’ll want to too.
7 Celebrity Jeans-and-Flat-Shoes Outfits We Really Rate:
1. Dakota Johnson: Jeans + Shirt + Loafers
Style Notes: Dakota Johnson has been wearing up some stellar flat shoes of late—The slingback flats, anyone?—but her pairing of classic blue jeans, bright red button-up and timeless loafers might be my favourite combination of hers yet.

2. Sienna Miller: Jeans + Blazer + Boots
Style Notes: Sienna Miller continues her impressive street style streak with this simple but highly effective combination of true blue jeans in a slightly oversized silhouette, which she’s finished with a polished pair of black boots.
Shop the Look:
Many fashion people will tell you these are a wise investment.
3. Laura Harrier: Jeans + Cardigan + Clogs
Style Notes: I’m going to make a bold claim: I’ve never seen a bad Laura Harrier outfit. And here she is, proving my point with her straight-leg and slip-ons. Thanks for that, Laura!
Shop the Look:
Wear with your jeans or match this up with a silk slip skirt.
4. Jessica Biel: Jeans + Denim Jacket + Trainers
Style Notes: Jessica Biel continually serves up some of the best street style looks in the biz. This get-up, featuring an oversize denim jacket, lighter washed jeans and comfy trainers, is one of my all-time favourites.
Shop the Look:
If comfortability is what you look for in trainers, you can do no better.
5. Rochelle Humes: Jeans + Striped Shirt + Ballet Flats
Style Notes: Make like Rochelle Humes, and tap into 2025’s wildfire barrel-leg jeans trend with another It buy: a pair of brown shoes for autumn.
Shop the Look:
6. Lily Collins: Jeans + Blazer + Mesh Flats
Style Notes: Lily Collins, who, as someone who used to wear more than her fair share of sky-high heels, has been showing flats some serious love over the past few months. This look, featuring a pair of Alaïa mesh flats, a boxy blazer and high-waist jeans? Inspired!
Shop the Look:
7. J.Lo: Jeans + Nordic Cardigan + Ugg Boots
Style Notes: Jennifer Lopez shows us the perfect formula for a cosy but casual winter look. Platform Ugg boots are a style I live in come winter, so I'm excited to pair them with baggy jeans and a Nordic knit like J.Lo has.
