Vera Wang, 74, wore a white swimsuit with metallic shoes

Vera Wang may be best known for her white dresses, but this week she broke the internet in a white dress. swimsuit. On Instagram, the 74-year-old designer posed poolside in a classic one-piece with a straight neckline highlighted with silver sequins. Glittering chandelier earrings adorned her ears, and on her feet, shimmering metallic sandals might just be a style I need now.

Silver shoes are one of the hottest trends of 2024 – Jane Fonda just wore a pair on the red carpet — and Wang officially brought them into summer. Her chunky sandals had a lug sole and strappy design, finished in a mirror-like silver color and topped with jewelry. This was perhaps the chicest take on classic summer style I’ve ever seen (i.e. an instant add-to-cart).

Wang inspired me to jazz up all my basic summer outfits with silver sandals, so I found six pairs you can score today. But for anyone who saw her post and immediately needed the classic white swimsuit, don’t worry, I found lookalikes for that too, and they start at just $22.

Dream Pairs Rhinestone T-Strap Sandals

Amazon


If you loved Wang’s bling, get these $35 slingback sandals from Dream Pairs that feature a jewel-covered T-strap. Shoppers say the color and embellishments “dress up any outfit” and rave about the comfort. One fan called them the “most comfortable” sandals they’ve ever owned, while another wrote that they felt just as good as their tried-and-true flip-flops, although they looked sleeker.

La Blanca Island Goddess One Piece Swimsuit

Nordstrom


This La Blanca shopper-favorite one-piece swimsuit is nearly identical to Wang’s, from the thin spaghetti straps and near-straight neckline to the scooped sides. While many customers purchased it for the classic, no-frills look of the style, many found it to also be “flattering and supportive.” One shopper with a 32F chest wrote that the swimsuit “keeps everything in place,” while someone in their 50s said it offers lift without digging in the shoulders and support without being restrictive.

Birkenstock Arizona – Soft sole sandals

Northern Storm


Birkenstock is my favorite version of the statement shoe because the brand simply added a reflective silver top to its iconic and celebrity-loved Arizona sandals. With these, you get this year’s “It” color with that famous “dreamy and comfy” cork insole that shoppers say “conforms to your feet” for personalized support. One person who owns them in silver wrote that the sandal is “so versatile,” while another said the shade is “stylish…and goes with everything.”
