The classy footwear trend is here to stay.
The European leg of Taylor Swift’s Eras Tour closes this week at Wembley Stadium, and the singer kicked off the sold-out London shows with a night out in a head-to-toe preppy look—complete with a twist on the predicted ‘It’ shoe of fall 2024.
Before the five-night stretch, Swift hosted a wrap party for Eras Tour staff wearing a Vivienne Westwood plaid miniskirt and blazer fresh from the Fall 2024 collection—a choice potentially inspired by the Swiftie fashion account @youbelonginthis. The ‘Fortnight’ singer’s street style looks are an often polarizing topic, but this outfit has all the makings of a perfect pre-fall fashion moment. Swift styled the two-piece set with a crisp white ruffled button-down, the Vivienne Westwood Tuesday Bag, and topped it off with ankle socks and the Sezane Georgia High Mary Janes in pistachio green.
Mary Jane flats have been popular amongst celebrities like Katie Holmes and Gigi Hadid this summer, but the silhouette will undoubtedly hit its stride come fall. Swift added a playful, daring twist to the demure shoes for her night out, wearing a pair of platform-heeled Mary Janes. The platform heels offer an elevated, night-out-appropriate take on Mary Jane shoes, and with the style co-signed by Swift, you’ll want to get your hands on a pair while you can.
With the end of the European leg of the Eras Tour, we’ll surely get more street style moments from Swift—hopefully after a much-needed rest. If this look is any indication, chances are Swift’s fall aesthetic will play into her preppy side, but that being said, she is one to throw a fashion curveball.
Swift’s exact Mary Jane platform heels are available on Sezane, but the pistachio green colorway is currently out of stock. Nonetheless, we found seven lookalike options to the ‘August’ signer's heels in different styles and price points.

Shifting gears, the Sam Edelman Jildie Heels are a daring, statement-making option inspired by Swift’s platform heels. The shoe features a simple Mary Jane silhouette with gold buckle hardware and a comfortable ankle strap, but the 4-inch heel demands attention. Style yours with a playful mini skirt as Swift did, or pair them with a cocktail dress to add a trendy twist on an elevated look.

For an edgier look, consider these platform loafers. They feature a subtle block heel and a lug sole. The chic cream faux leather upper is accented with an eye-catching tortoiseshell pattern, and the shoe is topped off with a gold buckle.
