Of all the royals, Spain’s Queen Letizia might have the most attainable style. The 54-year-old often steps out in brands we know and love — Mango, Zara, H&M, Hugo Boss, etc. — so when we spotted her rocking trendy double-strap Mary Jane flats instead of pointy stilettos, we weren’t as shocked. In fact, we thought, “Wait, where can we get those?”

The shoe style might be a favorite of the petite brunette, as she wore a burgundy pair on October 9, then swapped them for a chic black alternative on October 13. Although the brand hasn’t been confirmed, we’re assuming the shoe is Sézane’s Paula Babies — an option Letizia has worn before — which typically retails for over $200 but has since sold out. Still, hope is not lost. You can nail the queen’s elevated flats look with an Amazon alternative that’s on sale for under $40.

Coutgo’s Mary Jane Flats have the same double-strap design and patent-leather look, but the price makes them a bit easier on the wallet. The shoes slip on easily, and feature a small block heel that’s supportive and comfortable, giving you a tiny boost that’s easy on the feet.

These Mary Janes come in the same classic black color Letizia wore, plus a seasonal burgundy, coffee and other neutral shades. Feel daring? Scoop up the same style in leopard and use it to amp up your favorite jeans-and-button-down shirt combo. It’s definitely something a fashion editor would do!

Even with their eye-catching look, the Mary Jane flats are made to work with you, offering plenty of padding and adjustable straps for a perfect fit. Reviewers are actually shocked at how good they feel on.

“They are so comfortable, and I get compliments all the time for them,” wrote one shopper, who added that they’ll be ordering another pair. “I style them with skirts and pants — super cute!”

Someone else noted the pick is perfect for both work and play, highlighting its unique shape.

“The square toe is nice and eliminates your toes from being scrunched,” they said. “Arch support is good. I’ve already bought four versions of this shoe and looking for more.”

It’s safe to assume Letizia’s love for Mary Janes is partly because of how versatile the shoe style can be. She’s worn her own pairs with structured suits and smart-looking trousers, however, the same style would also complement dresses and elevate denim better than achy high heels or too-casual kicks could.

With the holiday season coming up, this affordable find is bound to get a lot of use. Take a tip from this impeccably dressed royal and add the double-strap Mary Janes to your wardrobe, STAT!
