Kiernan Shipka and Natalie Portman Are Both Wearing This Ageless Shoe Trend
The only thing we love more than spotting trends in the wild? When we catch two very different style stars showing off their interpretations. Case in point, the shoe trend that transcends outfits, events, and ages: the platform sneaker.

And soon after, we noticed Natalie Portman sporting platform sneakers while attending the Olympics in Paris. Although there is almost a 20-year age difference between the two actresses, it's obvious: If the shoe trend fits, wear it.
