If you want your dresses, trousers, and shorts to have a French look, try this shoe trend endorsed by Kate Moss.

      While the internet may have recently recognized that distressing shoes in the style of Mary-Kate Olsen or Amy Winehouse circa 2006 could be the trendiest addition to any wardrobe, Kate Moss has been invested in the tradition of worn-out ballet flats for many years. Now, 26 years later, her ballet flat ensembles have become the standard to which all cool outfits should aspire. Since she stepped into the spotlight with her angelic features and distinctive Croydon accent, the supermodel has led the charge in every sleazy and rock-inspired fashion trend we now link to British fashion: pirate boots, Napoleon jackets, skinny scarves, low-slung jeans—the list continues.

      A glance at her street style history reveals how integral ballet flat outfits are to Kate Moss's casual attire. One moment, she might be seen with a denim mini skirt and a bateau-neck top during a leisurely stroll in Notting Hill; the next, she’s donning them with a fedora, oversized vest, and shorts that appear to be the size of a belt for a wild night out in Soho.

      (Image credit: Backgrid UK)By leaving visible scuff marks and showcasing distressed leather, Moss eliminated any notion that ballet flats were only meant for prim dancers or private school students, instead establishing them as the unofficial uniform for Portobello Road rebels. With brands like Repetto and Le Monde Beryl now part of the everyday fashion vocabulary, we have Moss to thank for popularizing ballet flat outfits.

      Even today, Moss remains steadfast in her long-standing love for this style. Constantly alternating between dark tones and bright whites, she has consistently affirmed that ballet flats are a fundamental element of any well-curated wardrobe, whether she’s sporting them during Paris Fashion Week or on a sun-drenched getaway to Formentera. Showcasing her enduring commitment to her favored footwear over the past century, discover the most stylish Kate Moss ballet flat outfits that capture the effortless grace of the style below.

Here, she was spotted leaving The Ritz in Place Vendôme after attending Saint Laurent’s spring/summer 2027 menswear collection in June. The contrast of the flowing slip dress, delicate and practical ballet flats, and the structured jacket perfectly captures the masculin-féminin dressing style Parisians are known for. Shop the Look:
