Plus lookalike shoulder bags and black booties

Welcome to The Blueprint, where we break down the celebrity looks we want to wear right now and build them back up, piece by piece. 

While I tend to gravitate toward pops of color and funky patterns when curating my outfits every morning, Angelina Jolie’s latest look inspires me to get back to basics.

On June 23, the actress and filmmaker was spotted hailing a cab in New York City while wearing a light and airy ’fit I’m already planning on recreating. She wore a square neck spaghetti strap white maxi dress with black booties, a brown leather shoulder bag, and black-framed sunglasses.

Although maxi dresses have long been a popular option among celebrities — stars like Cindy Crawford and Demi Moore have worn iterations while doing everything from vacationing in Indonesia to attending film festivals in Cannes in recent weeks — Jolie’s casual version is perfect for hot summer days. Not only is her dress lightweight enough to withstand steamy city commutes, but it’s easy to dress up or down. Plus, a leather bag and black booties never go out of style. 

Jolie finished her look by reaching for a pair of black suede booties, but I would make this outfit feel more summer-ready by swapping them out for black cowboy boots. This pair from Amazon has earned thousands of perfect ratings for their “super fashionable” look and “comfortable” fit, and they’re currently 25 percent off, bringing their price to $60.

“I wore these boots to a concert and they were so comfy and cute,” one reviewer wrote. “I was worried that after a while my feet would start to hurt, but even as time went by I never felt uncomfortable.”

It’s hard to go wrong with an outfit modeled after Angelina Jolie. Keep scrolling to shop more maxi dresses, shoulder bags, and black boots inspired by her look at Amazon.
