Ankle boots are a top cold weather shoe due to their higher coverage than pumps, but ability to be layered within a variety of looks. A top styling trick is similar to Hatahway’s outfit, pairing ankle or knee-high boots beneath a midi skirt for a streamlined appearance. In addition to the “” actress, Lily Aldridge, Dakota Johnson and Rihanna have also worn Balenciaga, Gucci and Isabel Marant ankle boots in recent weeks.

Watch on FN

The boots fit Hathaway’s penchant for strong shoe statements, which she’s made on and off the red carpet. The Oscar-winning actress regularly wears bright pumps and sandals from brands like Tom Ford, Jimmy Choo, Charlotte Olympia and Giuseppe Zanotti. Her off-duty rotation usually veers towards clean casual footwear: Valentino and Chanel flats, Nike sneakers and a variety of pointed-toe black leather loafers are regularly on rotation.

Step out in white boots this winter, like Anne Hathaway.
