Jennifer Lawrence Paired a Classic Black Dress With a Very Controversial Shoe — And We're Sold

Table of Contents

    Jennifer Lawrence might be responsible for my next controversial shoe purchase. The actress stepped out in kitten heels earlier this spring, and while I wasn’t ready to join the backless-shoe bandwagon then, I’m actually considering the style. Suddenly, the polarizing look is exactly what my fall wardrobe is missing.

    Lawrence was spotted wearing pointed-toe kitten heels with a black midi dress and sparkly silver bag. It was cool, slightly unexpected and proof that the divisive shoes can make even the simplest staples feel more fashion-forward. I’m officially sold, so I found five Lawrence-inspired kitten heels to shop now.

    5 Jennifer Lawrence-Inspired Black Mule Heels

    1. My Favorite: If I’m copying Lawrence’s controversial shoe choice, I’m starting with these pointed-toe kitten heels. The tiny heel and backless silhouette look strikingly similar. At $53, they’re an easy way to test-drive the trend.

    2. Luxe Look: Texture makes these pointed-toe mules look designer-like. The black croc finish is my pick for copying Lawrence, but they also come in white and burgundy croc for a bolder fall moment. 

    3. Super Sleek: I can already tell these $40 mules will become a regular in my shoe rotation. The pointed toe and low heel are polished without trying too hard. Choose from classic black, leopard print and more.

    4. Woven Wonder: Lawrence’s pair may be smooth, but these woven kitten heel mules make a strong case for switching things up. The textured finish looks luxe and expensive, while the pointed toe and kitten heel still capture her sleek silhouette.

    5. Buckle Up: Lawrence kept her mules simple, but these buckle kitten heels make the controversial trend a little more fun. The chic detail dresses up the pointed toe, and I can already picture them with everything from jeans to a little black dress.
