Sarah Jessica Parker recently stepped out to grab some pizza in New York City, and we couldn’t help but wonder where she got her fabulous shoes.
In true SJP fashion, the Sex and the City star rocked a pair of vibrant pink block heels with a black polka dot trench coat, black striped joggers, oversized sunglasses, and a tote to match her shoes.
Rather than the sky-high Manolos that her SATC character, Carrie Bradshaw, is known for, Parkers’s block heels reminded us of flats with a little lift that both literally and figuratively elevated her casual outfit.
We’ve spotted so many celebrities wearing colorful shoes lately, along with a handful of stars breaking out flats, making her shoes the perfect blend of two popular trends. They offer all the comfort of a low heel yet they’re dressy enough to wear for weddings or sipping cocktails at summer rooftop events — or even picking up pizza on a low-key Friday night.
Parker convinced us that closed-toe heels are a must-have for just about every occasion this summer, so we found some low-heeled shoes inspired by the ones she wore, with prices starting at $40.
Closed-Toe Heels Inspired by Sarah Jessica Parker
Steve Madden Cherish Pump
If you want the hot pink hue Parker wore, grab this similar pair of Steve Madden heels. The 1.25-inch block heel is a good height for pairing with a dress or slipping on with capris for a casual girls’ day. The closed-toe pump gets a little visual interest from the gold-tipped bow for a decorative finish.
Sizes range from 5.5 to 11, and if bright pink isn’t your thing, you can choose from 15 other colors like timeless black, trendy mesh options, and even a metallic silver.
Easy Spirit Caldise Pump Shoes, $41 (Save 54%)
Looking for super comfortable black heels that go with everything? Look no further than this pair from Easy Spirit. It’s another leather option that comes in a generous array of sizes, ranging from 5 through 12, along with narrow and wide widths available for most sizes.
The almond toe is chic yet understated while the cushioned insole and flexible sole will keep feet comfortable, even if your dinner reservation is blocks away and you can’t find a cab — err, Uber. As an added bonus, these elegant black block heels are on sale for as little as $41 right now.
Dream Pairs Closed-Toe Pumps
Measuring in with a 1.4-inch block heel, this closed-toe heel from Dream Pairs is just $40. The crisp white is an excellent pick for spring and summer, but five other neutral hues are also up for grabs. These pumps come in sizes 6 to 11 and include arch and heel support for a cushiony feel.
They have a pointed-toe for extra elegance at weddings or dressy gatherings. Plus, the outsole is nonslip for a more secure fit, even when you’re rushing because you’re late for Cosmopolitans with the girls.
Low-heeled shoes are the perfect way to elevate any spring or summer look. We’ll be taking a page from Sarah Jessica Parker’s style guide and ordering a pair (or two) to stay comfy and cute all season long.
