Mary Jane ballet flats are the easy-but-cute shoes I swear by—however, they’re not typically in my winter rotation. I usually save the style for spring and summer, but Katie Holmes has convinced me that a certain pair deserves a spot in my current lineup.
Velvet Mary Janes have become a staple in the star’s late fall wardrobe. She has worn colorful versions of the shoes—including blue, red, and mustard pairs—with a handful of seasonal staples, like chunky knits, silk slip skirts, and denim jackets, and I now want to do the same. That classic winter material brings the shoes into colder months with ease, and its luxe look actually might make the style even more outfit elevating. So to get Holmes’s look, I found 10 velvet Mary Janes, starting at just $39.

Sam Edelman’s Michaela Mary Janes are the perfect holiday shoes, and not just because of that pink velvet and burgundy trim. These flats are finished with a blinged-out buckle, which will add a festive flair to anything you wear them with, even something as simple as jeans and a cozy sweater.
Madewell Greta Ballet Flat
Madewell
If you love the velvet blue MJs Katie Holmes wears on repeat, consider grabbing this pair from Madewell while it’s on sale for $80. The Greta flats are even InStyle-approved thanks to their comfortable insole, buttery-soft finish, and look that’s “just the right mix of feminine and modern.”
Everlane The Day Mary Jane
Everlane
This week, Holmes stepped out in a pair of mustard Mary Janes, and I immediately started searching for a lookalike, which is how I discovered this on-sale pair from Everlane. Not only is the autumnal shade a great way to add a pop of color to any outfit, but shoppers say that the flats are “instantly comfortable” thanks to the stretchy strap and soft leather. One fan even wrote that the cute MJs have replaced their sneakers as their go-to everyday shoe.
Katie Holmes proved that, with a few small tweaks, Mary Janes are a year-round shoe. Shop more velvet flats inspired by her go-to late-fall shoe, below.
