Jill Biden Wore the Shoe Trend Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton Also Love

by Erin Fitzpatrick

As a fashion editor who looks at celebrity outfits all day long, I have an eye for identifying common themes among their fashion choices. Hailey Bieber and Kacey Musgraves, for instance, are both fans of the same bikini brand, while Jennifer Lopez and Irina Shayk are both supporters of the lingerie-as-outerwear trend. My latest ID? First Lady Jill Biden just wore the shoe trend that both Kate Middleton and Meghan Markle also love: espadrilles.

Photographed deboarding Marine One between her numerous trips to vaccination sites, Biden wore a casual outfit perfect for traveling—a slinky trench coat, a printed midi dress, and black espadrilles. In fact, her shoes are nearly identical to Markle's Castañer pair, which she has worn numerous times. Take a look at the images below, and you'll notice that all three influential women wear their espadrilles with midi dresses, so consider that outfit formula officially foolproof.
