Jane Fondas Silver Mary Janes Are Selling Out, So I Found 8 Lookalikes

When Jane Fonda stepped onto the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, the first thing I noticed wasn’t her long, leopard print coat or beaded jumpsuit. No, it was the metallic Mary Janes poking out from underneath her hem that became my obsession. 

The silver shade—pretty much a staple of Fonda’s at this point—immediately grabbed my attention. It was chic and outfit elevating without overwhelming her look. And paired with the trending Mary Jane silhouette that is both cute and practical, the shoes became a must-buy for me. I was able to track down her exact style—these Mary Janes from the brand Margaux, whose flats I adore—only to learn they’re nearly sold out (though if your size is still available, grab them!). So I instead set out to find similar shoes, and discovered eight lookalikes for Fonda’s metallic Mary Janes, starting at $30.

8 Silver Mary Jane Flats

Tn Tangnest Mary Jane Ballet Flat

Get Fonda’s look for less with these $30 Mary Jane flats you can grab at Amazon. According to fans of these square-toed flats, the shoes have “nice cushioning” that makes them surprisingly comfortable, with one person saying that they felt great and held up well during their walking-heavy European vacation. Another person even called them better than a $200 pair they own, writing that unlike their pricey Mary Janes, these are comfortable for walking and don’t cause blisters.

Madewell the Greta Ballet Flat

The silver Greta Ballet Flats from Madewell are a favorite of InStyle writers who say that the shoes expertly combine the year’s hottest trends while still offering support and comfort thanks to their cushioned insoles. Plus, they’re made from high-quality, “buttery soft” leather that doesn’t need to be broken in, according to one customer, which makes the $98 price point seem more than reasonable. Other fans love that they can wear the shoes anywhere and with anything, noting that they’ve styled them casually, for work, and even dressed them up for dates. 

Sam Edelman Miranda Mary Jane Flat

These Sam Edelman flats somehow make Fonda’s already-hot style even trendier, pairing silver leather details at the strap and toe with a mesh exterior. In case you missed it, mesh, barely-there flats are one of 2024’s It shoes, worn by both Jennifer Lawrence and Lopez, and shoppers are loving this style from Sam Edelman. A customer who once “hated” flats, calling them unsupportive and uncomfortable, said that these changed their mind. “They’re trendy, they’re sturdy, and they’re comfy,” they gushed. And per another shopper, these are going to be “summer staple” because they’re versatile, comfortable, and breathable.
