The arrival of the Cannes Film Festival always means we’re about to see some stunning photos of actors and actresses in absolutely gorgeous red carpets ensembles. The inspiration doesn’t have to start and end at the red carpet though. Sometimes the casual looks are some of our favorites!

When Dame Helen Mirren arrived in France for the festival, she proved that it really can be easy being green. She wore a sweater, a plaid skirt and green OCA Low Cariuma sneakers, which are still available for all of us to buy online!

These sneakers, which are available for all genders, are major hits for Cariuma, having accrued over 6,600 reviews (so far). Shoppers say they’re “extremely comfortable” and required “no breaking-in period.” One even said it was “like they were made for [their] feet.” Others “love that they are ethically sourced” and that they really are “as cute as they seem” in pictures. We can see why so many shoppers are buying multiple colors. They say they’re “truly the best shoes [they’ve] ever owned,” so why wouldn’t they?

These low-top sneakers have a durable cotton upper that’s made without pesticides of harmful chemicals, and the rubber for the outsole and brand’s signature toe cap is ethically harvested from trees. Meanwhile, the lining, laces, threads and labels are all made from recycled plastic bottles, while the brand’s famous memory foam insole is now completely vegan! Now these are some guilt-free shoes.

Don’t forget to check out the smaller details as well, such as the metal eyelets and aglets, the cushioned collar and the pull-tab at the back of the heel!

The green shade is such an awesome pick for spring and summer, but it’s far from the only color available. There are nine others as well. You can go for a classic white or black sneaker, keep things neutral with a nude or grey or go for a less expected hue, such as yellow, red, pink or navy blue!

Another reason we love these sneakers — and why they’re so popular — is that they’re so versatile. As Mirren proved, they can easily work with a skirt or a dress, which is definitely something not all sneakers are capable of. Of course, they’re also always down to be paired with your favorite pair of jeans, whether long and skinny or wide and cropped. We’re also picturing them with a romper or jumpsuit, a co-ord shorts set or joggers and a hoodie. They’re up for just about anything!

Cariuma sneakers are so popular that sizes definitely tend to sell out, so we recommend picking up your favorite pair ASAP. Whether you’re planning your own trip to France or simply need some new kicks for taking the dog for a walk around the block, we have a feeling you’re going to love these!
