Reese Witherspoon Wore the Sandals Jackie Kennedy Made Famous
When two stylish women wear the same shoes—over 50 years apart—you know they’ve got to be good. Reese Witherspoon was recently spotted in Los Angeles wearing Jack Rogers’s Palm Beach Navajo Sandals ($118), which were first popularized by none other than Jackie Kennedy in the ’60s.
Curious about the sandals’ backstory? On its website, the brand explains how Kennedy made the shoes famous. “It was on an Italian holiday in 1960 that First Lady Jackie Kennedy met the shoe style that would become the Classic Jack Rogers Sandal, a flat sandal characterized by whipstitched leather and an iconic rondelle, affectionally called the ‘Jacks.’ On her return to Palm Beach, Jackie brought the shoe to a local cobbler, and an icon was born.” How’s that for a fascinating dose of fashion history?

Erin got her start as aBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing intern over 14 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 2015, 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 Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
