    Katie Holmes is on a wallet-friendly footwear kick this spring. It all started late last month, when she debuted square-toe, $129 ballet flats from celebrity-beloved brand Vivaia. On March 22, Holmes unveiled another, even more affordable pair of flats: on-sale Mary Janes from Franco Sarto.

    Holmes delivered one last L.A. cool-girl look before her final performance of Henrik Ibsen's play, Hedda Gabler. Her outfit's main character? Franco Sarto's Franco Oakes Mary Janes. Usually, the suede, square toe shoes—each cinched with a single, gold-buckle strap—would set you back $135. Now, Holmes's chocolate, Hickory Brown color is marked down to $99.99. That's an extra $35 you could spend on another Holmes-approved Franco Sarto style.

    Otherwise, Holmes channeled an L.A. local in the returning peasant blouse trend—a boho silhouette Bella Hadid tested that same afternoon. Similar to Hadid, she paired the white top's puff sleeves and curved neckline with equally-boho, wide-leg jeans.

    Holmes has been a Franco Sarto girl since 2024, when the $115 Franco Clemens Espadrille Wedge Sandal joined her spring shoe rack. (Fun fact: Her espadrilles are also on sale right now.) She selects her Mary Janes as carefully as Jennifer Lopez does her Hermès Birkin bags. So, having two Franco Sarto pairs in her collection is a big deal.

    In Sept. 2024, she boarded the brand's Mary Jane bandwagon with the once-$125 Tinsley Flats. The metallic silver shade made them one of Holmes's boldest ballet flats, second only to her velvet pairs. Her Tinsley Flats are currently available for $56—that's 55-percent off their original price tag.
