It’s not a holiday, but Cameron Diaz and her comfy sneakers are enough reason to celebrate.
With a glass of wine in hand, The Holiday actress, 51, looked happy during her time on stage at the BottleRock Napa Valley festival last week. But us? We were drinking in her Canadian tuxedo (Katie Holmes also just wore one!) and her stylish white sneakers, which have been bubbling up everywhere recently.
Though colorful sneakers were picking up speed with celebs earlier this year, plain sneakers are also a popular option. Since the start of 2024, Katie Holmes, Natalie Portman, Emily Blunt, Jennifer Lopez and more stars can’t stop wearing white pairs. They’ve also been a classic for years, racking up fans like Jessica Alba, Sofía Vergara, Jennifer Lawrence, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Reese Witherspoon.
Part of the charm of white sneakers is that they’re easy to pair with practically any outfit. Rather than have a bunch of bold, show-stopping colors that can be hard to combine with your wardrobe, they’re pretty reliable when it comes to crafting something that looks well-coordinated. They’re also going to be rather comfortable since sneakers are, generally speaking, supportive shoes.
White Sneakers Inspired by Cameron Diaz
Fracora Low-Top Lace Up Sneakers, $22 with Prime
A good way to tell if a product is actually worth the money? Figuring out whether shoppers are actually buying the product — and more than 200 of them have bought this faux leather pair from Fracora, according to Amazon. They have a breathable low-top design and a grippy-looking sole, and you can get a pair now for $22 with a Prime membership.
Cariuma Off-White Oca Low Canvas Sneaker
Have you ever loved a pair of shoes so much that you just had to own another? Well, that’s Cariuma Oca Lows for so many customers. Many shoppers have re-purchased them a second and third time, and according to one person, “the first wear is just as comfortable as the last.” Brooke Shields also just wore another style from the brand back in March, but these ones are more reasonably priced.
Sam Edelman Edie Sneaker, $44 (Save 56%)
Made from leather, these Sam Edelman sneakers look sturdy and are likely simpler to scrub clean than some dirt-ingrained canvas shoes. The 1-inch platform also tacks on a small chunk factor, but without going overboard. And they’re on sale for 56 percent off, which is steep considering they’re from a brand that we’ve spotted on Taylor Swift.
Before you swamp (it’s a Shrek pun, get it?) your closet with summer sandals, don’t forget to get some white sneakers. Keep scrolling to shop more pairs inspired by Cameron Diaz now.
