L.A. Women Always Wear Black Trousers With These French Ballet Flats

It’s normal to see one or two celebrities wearing the same thing. Trends hit their wardrobes too—hell, many get their start there. It’s not quite as standard for three to don the exact same thing. So when I saw that Laura Harrier, Hailey Bieber, and Kaia Gerber were all basically donning the same outfit within the span of just a few weeks, all while in Los Angeles, my interest was piqued. What has so many A-listers who could have anything they could ever want so enthralled that they’d wear the same trend, from the same brand, in fact, again and again?

Maybe it’s that stylish French women have loved them for over 50 years, or perhaps it’s due to their genuinely comfortable fit and timeless aesthetic, but Repetto’s cult-favorite Cendrillon and Camille ballet flats have taken over the L.A. street style scene, with the city’s chicest inhabitants being among the biggest repeat wearers.

Harrier was the most recent Angeleno to don the beloved flats, styling her patent-leather Cendrillon flats with a pair of cropped black trousers, a black camisole, a brown leather bomber jacket, and a Coach Tabby bag. She finished off the look with a Tiffany & Co. bean pendant necklace designed by Elsa Peretti and black sunglasses. What makes her shoe choice so perfect is the effortlessness of it all. At the same time, she still looks sophisticated and chic—no heels required.

On Hailey Bieber: Repetto Camille Heels ($430); Gimaguas Lula Trousers ($217); Skylrk jacket

Days before Harrier debuted her off-duty look, Bieber wore a very similar ensemble for a casual lunch date with a friend at Beverly Glen Deli. For the occasion, she wore a leather bomber jacket that she herself is designing, per her Instagram—the brand is allegedly called Skylrk—with low-rise Gimaguas kick-flare pants, a black camisole, and the heeled version of Harrier’s Repetto ballet flats, called the Camille pumps. The short, 1.25″ heel adds just the right amount of height to dress up a look, without becoming painful or overly formal.
