Disregarding the temperature in New York City, I’m in the midst of spring-coding my wardrobe. And this season's first new addition is going to be a delicate yet walkable pair of ballet flats.

Similar to what we saw this time last year, my style-hero celebrities have been providing ample inspiration for heel alternatives. One of my favorite discoveries? The exact podiatrist-approved square-toe flats Katie Holmes just stepped out in. I even found affordable lookalikes to Gwyneth Paltrow’s black Mary Janes, Margot Robbie’s mesh style, and Cameron Diaz’s pointed-toe pair. Below, shop spring-ready and step-friendly ballet flats starting at just $19.

Paltrow’s Instagram posts are consistently a fashion feast for the eyes. Most recently, she posted a selfie from a dressing room in which she was wearing a pair of rounded-toe Mary Jane ballet flats. Naturally, I had to find a similar style and landed on this faux-leather pair that customers praise for comfort.

According to one customer, you can wear them “right out of the box with no break-in period,” while another wrote they were “able to walk over 10,000 steps” in Las Vegas in the shoes.

Holmes is proof that podiatrist-approved shoes don’t have to look dumpy. The flats, which Aubrey Plaza has also worn, are made of a soft fabric and showcase a square-toe design. Compared to its beloved predecessor, the Margot 2.0, this upgraded version has been subtly tweaked with an even roomier toe box (especially nice for wide feet), 20 percent more footbed cushioning, and enhanced arch support.

The style is also available in a vibrant red, classic black, subtle ivory, and playful pale blue.

I’m not just copying Robbie’s Wuthering Heights glam, I’m also recreating her effortlessly cool airport ’fits. Step one: Buy a pair of mesh ballet flats. Similar to the actress’, these beige flats have a rounded toe and breathable construction. Plus, the Mary Jane-style strap secures your foot for more comfortable wear. Reviewers agree that the insole is supportive, but they recommend ordering a half size down.

There are more celeb-inspired ballet flats to explore, including a lookalike for Cameron Diaz’s sleek pointed-toe shoes and an under-$20 style that reminds me of ones I’ve seen on Zoë Kravitz.
