Katie Holmes Welcomes Spring in Espadrille Wedges by Franco Sarto in New York City

Katie Holmes was spotted walking through New York City on Wednesday wearing a pair of color-blocked Franco Sarto wedges. The star donned the brand’s Clemens espadrille wedge sandals in a tan and black colorway.

Regularly captured in classic footwear staples as she parades around the city, Holmes has been seen in an array of popular styles including pairs of Adidas Sambas and Gucci Horsebit loafers. Staying on trend, in January of this year, Holmes was seen walking around in a pair of silver metallic ballet flats right after brands like Proenza Schouler and Tory Burch featured the silhouette during their spring 2024 presentations at New York Fashion Week.

About the Shoes

Franco Sarto’s Clemens espadrille wedge sandals, available in both neutral and vibrant colorways, are typically crafted in either a suede, leather or faux leather upper partially made from recycled materials.

Additionally, the $115 shoes feature an adjustable ankle strap with a hook and loop closure, silver bar detail along the heel, open toe silhouette, and a 3-inch jute-wrapped wedge heel.

Wedge Heels: Spotting the Trend

One of the season’s most popular trends is the rise in wedge-style heels. The silhouette has been featured in stand-out fashion shows and worn by some of the most influential celebrities as they enjoy the warm weather. Most recently, the style was seen lining the front row at Chloé‘s fall 2024 runway shoe during Paris Fashion Week in February. Sienna Miller, Georgia May Jagger, Pat Cleveland, and her daughter Anna, Liya Kebede, Clemence Poesy, and Kiernan Shipka, among others, wore matching black and brown wedge sandals for the event.
