Dame Helen Mirren has collected countless awards for her superb acting skills, but—if you ask us—she also deserves a few honors for her impeccable style. Whether she’s catching a cross-Atlantic flight or gracing the Cannes Film Festival red carpet, her outfits are always a sartorial success, thanks to a covetable collection of kitten heels that always pull the entire look together.

Recently we’ve marveled at how she’s anchored skirts and dresses with twisted strap sandals and playfully patterned pumps. She also knows how to take sharp suiting to the next level, thanks to an enviable assortment of Roger Vivier kitten heels, which, by the way, she’s worn in pink, black, and green.

If you’re looking for celebration-worthy shoes that are also comfortable, there’s no better source of inspiration. Ahead, discover 16 pairs of shoes to test out this holiday season, courtesy of Mirren’s regal looks.
