Angelina Jolie Revives the Iconic Shoe Trend with $850 Saint Laurent Ballet Flats and a Stylish Camel Coat

The tale of a girl and her best ballet flats is a love story for the ages. The classic shoe style has remained the hardest-working item in everyone's closet for millenniums—going all the way back to the Renaissance period. Today, this simple footwear style tops the list as fashion's most functional, beloved by everyone from A-listers to soccer moms.

Angelina Jolie—one of the A-est listers there is—has one specific pair that's near and dear to her heart (and always on her feet). She's been wearing the same pair of Saint Laurent Mami Flats for years—undoubtedly getting her money's worth of the $850 shoe.

The Saint Laurent flats being discussed are a plain ballet design, lacking any distinctive features except for their luxurious velvet exterior. These elegant shoes are incredibly versatile and can complement nearly any outfit. Nonetheless, Jolie has a go-to ensemble that she consistently gravitates towards.

On Jan. 14, the Maria actor debuted yet another take on her go-to 'fit—starring her favorite YSL shoes. She wore a black midi dress layered under a double-breasted camel top coat. Her final touch was a pair of cat-eye sunglasses, which gave her look a feeling of old world elegance.

This ensemble has become something of a calling card for Jolie, who's worn endless variations over the years. At the 2024 Torino Film Festival, for example, she styled the same Saint Laurent ballet flats with black separates and a similar coat. Throughout the rest of her Maria press tour, the actor continued this formula by wearing several khaki trench coats styled with all-black looks underneath.
