Taylor Swift’s Metallic Star Sneakers: Where to Find Her Saint Laurent Court Classics

On April 28, 2016, Taylor Swift stepped out for lunch with Lily Aldridge at M Café in Beverly Hills, wearing a simple black T-shirt and frayed denim shorts with white Saint Laurent sneakers covered in metallic silver stars.

The outing came during Swift’s brief platinum-blonde “Bleachella” era, shortly before she co-chaired the 2016 Met Gala. Against her all-black outfit, the Saint Laurent Court Classic “Signature California” sneakers stood out as the defining piece, with their white leather, silver star appliqués, and contrasting black heel tabs.

Swift kept the accessories understated, adding Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses and a black Rebecca Minkoff saddle bag worn crossbody. Her platinum-blonde bob reinforced the darker, more casual direction her street style had taken that spring.

Earlier that month, she had worn a black sequined Saint Laurent jumpsuit with Giuseppe Zanotti platform booties at the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards, another example of the shift away from the polished matching separates associated with her 1989-era wardrobe.

Saint Laurent Star Sneakers Give Her All-Black Outfit a Crisp Contrast

Swift finished the look with Saint Laurent Court Classic “Signature California” sneakers, a low-top leather style distinguished by metallic silver star appliqués along the sides. The design belongs to the same Court Classic SL/06 family seen in other celebrity Saint Laurent sneaker looks, including Ellie Goulding’s star-covered pair.

The bright white leather and metallic stars gave Swift’s otherwise all-black outfit its main point of contrast. It is also a straightforward example of why white sneakers work with so many outfits: the shoes stand apart from the black clothing without introducing a competing color.

The low-top sneakers combined white leather uppers with metallic silver leather star appliqués, white laces, rounded toes, logo detailing on the tongue, contrasting black heel tabs, and textured off-white rubber soles.

The scattered stars transformed an otherwise simple tennis-inspired court sneaker into one of Saint Laurent’s more recognizable embellished sneaker designs from the period.

Can You Still Find Taylor Swift’s Saint Laurent Star Sneakers?

The Saint Laurent Court Classic “Signature California” is a past-season design, not part of the label’s current sneaker lineup. The star-covered style originally retailed for roughly $645, but examples continue to surface on the resale market.

As of September 2026, StockX’s Saint Laurent star sneaker listings included the women’s Court Classic SL/06 Metallic California—the same model family associated with Swift’s pair—with a lowest ask of $593 at the time of the check. Other Court Classic versions were also listed. Because resale inventory, sizes, and asking prices change, treat that figure as a September 2026 snapshot rather than a current retail price.

How the Saint Laurent Sneakers Fit Into Taylor Swift’s Shoe Style

At about 5 feet 9¼ inches (175.9 cm), with a reported US size 9 shoe, Swift has built a footwear wardrobe that extends well beyond the towering heels associated with many of her red-carpet appearances. The flat Court Classics show the more casual side of that collection.

Saint Laurent was already part of her shoe rotation before this 2016 outing. In 2014, Swift paired a striped Topshop dress with brown suede Saint Laurent tasseled Oxford pumps, choosing a very different silhouette from the label.

The star sneakers also fit into Swift’s broader interest in embellished white designer sneakers during this period. Just over three months later, she stepped out in New York wearing Gucci New Ace sneakers embroidered with colorful flowers. Both designs started with a classic white leather court-sneaker shape but used decorative details to make the shoes the focal point: metallic stars at Saint Laurent and floral embroidery at Gucci.
