Priscilla Chan has grown in the spotlight as the wife of Mark Zuckerberg, though she’s also expanded her repertoire for classic dressing along the way.

The philanthropist has worn numerous pairs of sharp heeled sandals over the years, ranging from metallic tones to classic neutral hues on the red carpet. When off-duty, she can be seen in low-top sneakers in both colorful and white hues — plus the occasional slip-on set with metallic accents. Below, we’re looking back at her most classic style moments over the years.

In 2011, Chan was spotted walking her and Zuckerberg’s dog, Beast. For the occasion, she paired jeans with a white knit sweater and blue sneakers for a cozy and versatile ensemble.
