Jill Biden Wore the Shoe Trend Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Also Love
As a fashion editor who looks at celebrity outfits all day long, I have an eye for identifying common themes among their fashion choices. Hailey Bieber and Kacey Musgraves, for instance, are both fans of the same bikini brand, while Jennifer Lopez and Irina Shayk are both supporters of the lingerie-as-outerwear trend. My latest ID? First Lady Jill Biden just wore the shoe trend that both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle also love: espadrilles.
Photographed deboarding Marine One between her numerous trips to vaccination sites, Biden wore a casual outfit perfect for traveling—a slinky trench coat, a printed midi dress, and black espadrilles. In fact, her shoes are nearly identical to Markle's Castañer pair, which she has worn numerous times. Take a look at the images below, and you'll notice that all three influential women wear their espadrilles with midi dresses, so consider that outfit formula officially foolproof. Scroll down for espadrille styling ideas.

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing 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.
