If you're reading this, you probably own a pair of flat Mary Janes. Given how long the trend has retained its popularity, most of us do at this point. While they certainly make for cute outfits, flat Mary Janes don't necessarily make for sophisticated outfits. I fully believe that shoes can have transformative powers, and the pair that Anne Hathaway just opted to wear while spotted out and about in Manhattan made her outfit look far more sophisticated than a pair of flat Mary Janes would have.
If you've already guessed that the style I'm referring to is high-heel Mary Jane pumps, you're absolutely correct. Hathaway opted for black patent-leather platforms, which she wore with a white T-shirt, pleated grey miniskirt, and plaid shirt. If she'd chosen the flat version of the enduring trend instead, her outfit would've still been good but not quite as chic and appropriate for a night out in NYC.
In case you're in the market for a new pair of heels to wear year-round, day or night, scroll on to shop Hathaway's exact Sézane pair along with a dozen of my favourite options on the market right now.
On Anne Hathaway: Thom Browne skirt; Peter James The Butterfly Bag in Azul (£2776); Sézane Georgia High Mary Janes (£175)
