The actress recently Posted a carousel of photos She posted photos to Instagram from her trip to Paris, and in one photo she perfectly epitomized the laid-back, American-in-Parisian style: Her outfit consisted of staples — an oversized button-down shirt and straight-leg pants — but her sparkly silver ballet flats set her apart.
That may sound flashy, but it’s not: since it’s not patent leather, the silver has a muted shine and is actually a versatile color that can be paired with a variety of colors, including black, white, denim, and red.
