These Are the Super-Affordable Flats Meghan Markle Has Worn for Years

She's been wearing them since even before she was royalty.

When it comes to shoes, Meghan Markle is no stranger to recycling her favorites — from Manolo Blahnik’s classic BB pumps to Aquazzura’s Deneuve heels. While she often leans on designer pairs, there’s one affordable style she’s also been sporting for years: Birdies’ The Starling slipper ($120 to $140).

Most recently, the Duchess of Sussex was spotted rocking the flats during her tour of Australia and New Zealand, but she’s been a fan of them practically since the brand’s conception. In 2016, Meghan wore a pair in black on the set of “Suits” while filming in Canada.

The elevated smoking style is available in three velvet finishes (burgundy, black and black leopard) and features a nonslip outsole for easy indoor-outdoor wear. And to keep you comfortable 24/7, it also features a cozy faux fur lining, seven-layer cushioned footbed and elevating arch support.

As they’re perfect for work or even entertaining at home, we’d say these shoes are a must in any woman’s closet. Eager to get your hands on a pair? Shop the duchess-approved style, available at Nordstrom.com, below.
