Jennifer Lopez Wore the Fanciest Version of This Divisive Summer Shoe

It’s no secret that Jennifer Lopez knows a thing or two about fashion. Whether she’s trailing the red carpet or headed to a meeting, the multi-hyphenate pulls together a look that can’t be beat—and she relies on a few hero items to master said ‘fits. 

One of her fashion must-haves are the Tkees Lily sandals, which she’s worn multiple times in the past month. In fact, she’s relied on the brand for years—and this doesn’t surprise me. The barely there shoes are made from buttery soft Brazilian leather and have cushioned insoles and rubber bottoms, making for a comfy summer shoe. Better yet, they’re a fancy take on traditional flip-flops, reminiscent of Jennifer Lawrence and Dakota Fanning, making “pool shoes” acceptable and even desirable to wear out on the streets.

Lopez isn’t the only fan of the squint-to-see sandals; Eva Longoria, Cindy Crawford, Alessandra Ambrosio, and Jessica Alba are all frequent wearers, returning to the strappy footwear like clockwork. I’m no celebrity, but even I can’t stop styling my Tkees. Every summer, I secure at least one new pair, since I tend to wear my naked sandals to the ground. What can I say? I take them everywhere (they’re already packed for my Hawaii trip) and unapologetically wear them all year-round—they simply become house shoes during the fall and winter.

For J.Lo’s exact look, snag the Lily Metallics in gold (which are surprisingly still in stock), or the silver hue if you prefer cooler tones. My ultimate favorites are the Lily Nudes, though, since they seamlessly blend into the foot, lengthening the leg. Choose from 15 neutral shades and sizes five to 11.

But if flip-flops still aren’t for you, consider the double-strap Gemma, toe-loop Leah, criss-cross Riley, or T-strap Mariana. The magic is in the slim design, which feels lightweight on the foot and can be stashed away just about anywhere (a.k.a., the tiny corner of your closet or the dark depths of your work tote).
