Lately, there’s been a shoe that I can’t stop thinking about (or seeing). It is classic loaferand it’s also noticeably favored by some of the best-dressed celebrities on my radar.
From Dakota Johnson and Jane Fonda to Brittany Snow and Anne Hathawayeach leading lady uniquely designed the timeless shoe, whether accompanied by a dressy look or a low-key ensemble. I even have spotted fictional characters who choose this shoelike Lola Tung’s stomach from The summer I became beautifulwho threw on a brown pair with a shift dress and denim jacket.
It was obvious what to do next: I found 10 pairs of loafers inspired by these celeb-worn styles from Nordstrom, Target, Amazon and more stores. Shop my picks starting at $30.

If you’ve ever wondered what movie stars like Dakota Johnson wear to the grocery store, let me give you the insight—it’s a casual gray T-shirt, straight-leg jeans, and a pair of well-worn loafers. I’m a fan of the simplicity of this look, which fueled my search to find a lookalike for her shoes.
These Sam Edelman loafers feature similar gold detailing across the upper, as well as a slimmer toe. They also have a cushioned footbed, which helps if you’re also planning a Johnson-style run to Erewhon.

87 years old, Jane Fonda is as stylish and elegant as ever. Earlier this year, she paired her aubergine suit with cheetah print loafers at the California Conference for Women 2025, using her slip-ons as a statement piece. One such pair that embodies the same playfulness as hers is this waterproof style from Blondo. Along with the bold print, the memory foam footbed and thick base plate stand out as they help you stay steady on uneven and slippery surfaces.

Then The Devil Wears Prada 2 has begun filming, the PEOPLE shopping team has been keeping track of the cast’s looks. When I did, I saw another couple stylish loafers on Anne Hathaway self. Teamed with an olive midi skirt and crisp white buttons, her character Andy Sachs slipped into a pair of black loafers.
There’s no telling how expensive the wardrobe budget is on the film, but this lookalike is only $30 right now. “I wore them for 10 hours straight at work and had zero blisters,” wrote an Amazon shopper.
Keep scrolling to see more celebrity-inspired loafers, including a pair of similar platforms Brittany Snow previously wore and a brown style from Everlane that reminds me of Lola Tung’s.
