On July 24, 2020, Ana de Armas stepped out in Los Angeles for a dog walk with her Maltipoo, Elvis, wearing a simple off-duty outfit that put the focus squarely on her accessories and shoes.
The “Knives Out” actress paired a white Current/Elliott T-shirt with cropped black trousers and Golden Goose Superstar sneakers, choosing a distressed white-leather pair finished with blue star patches and lilac glitter heel tabs.
The outing came a week after de Armas introduced another dog, Salsa, to her Instagram followers. She shared photos of the black-and-white puppy on July 17, 2020, with the caption, “Welcome to the family, Salsa.”
Salsa stayed home for this particular walk, while Elvis accompanied the actress around her Los Angeles neighborhood.

Ben Affleck joined de Armas and Elvis for the walk. The couple had been photographed together frequently that year, including another casual outing in which de Armas wore Saint Laurent Andy sneakers.

De Armas kept the clothing understated in a white Current/Elliott “The Culver Tee,” a relaxed crewneck style that originally retailed for about $118, and cropped black straight-leg trousers that hit just above the ankle.
Her accessories added a more polished contrast to the casual separates. She layered a white beaded necklace with a delicate gold pendant and wore coordinating bracelets alongside a Cartier Panthère de Cartier gold watch and an 18-karat yellow-gold Cartier Love bangle.

The standout element was her footwear: Golden Goose Superstar sneakers. Made in Italy from deliberately distressed white leather, de Armas’ version featured blue leather star patches, lilac glitter heel tabs, gray laces, GGDB branding on the tongues, and the pre-scuffed finish the Superstar line is known for.
The deliberately worn-in look is a defining feature of the model; Selena Gomez has also worn Golden Goose Superstar sneakers, pairing the distressed style with casual airport looks.

Her specific blue-star and lilac-glitter colorway originally retailed for about $530. Golden Goose regularly reworks the Superstar with different colors, metallic finishes, glitter details, and versions of its signature star appliqué; Hilary Duff wore another distressed Golden Goose Super-Star variation with metallic trim during a Los Angeles Farmers Market outing.
De Armas’ exact blue-star and lilac-glitter version has since been discontinued, but the Superstar remains widely available in newer variations. As of August 2026, Farfetch carries Golden Goose Super-Star sneakers in numerous distressed-leather and glitter-trimmed combinations, including white-leather versions with decorative glitter heel tabs priced around $595. Prices and availability vary by colorway and size.
The secondary market offers an even broader mix of past and current colorways. As of August 2026, StockX lists Golden Goose Superstar sneakers across a wide price range, including the women’s Super-Star White/Black at a lowest ask of about $530, White/Silver at about $535, and White/Lilac/Platinum listings above $1,000. These are comparable Superstar variations rather than the exact pair worn by de Armas, and StockX asking prices can change with size, supply, and seller demand.

Affleck dressed casually, wearing a gray T-shirt and slim-fit gray jeans with two-tone sneakers. He layered a black jacket with multicolored stripe detailing beneath a gray windbreaker.
Both wore protective face masks during the July 2020 outing, placing the photos firmly within the everyday street style of the early months of the COVID-19 pandemic.

Why Golden Goose Sneakers Became a Celebrity Off-Duty Staple
Golden Goose has built its celebrity following around a contrast that few sneaker brands offer: Italian-made construction with a deliberately worn-in finish. The pre-scuffed leather makes the shoes feel less precious than traditional luxury sneakers, while the recognizable star motif and premium pricing keep them firmly in designer territory. Their versatility also helps explain the appeal — Golden Goose sneakers work easily with denim, leggings, tailoring, and polished travel looks, while some styles add a discreet internal lift.
De Armas is far from the only celebrity to embrace the intentionally imperfect look. From crystal-covered Superstars to leopard-print high-tops and metallic finishes, these Golden Goose outfits show how differently the brand’s distressed sneakers can be styled.
