Katie Holmes isn't afraid of wearing something affordable. A bonafide A-lister, Holmes is more than comfortable in her celebrity standing to wear accessible trends, from her comfortable Evolvetogether face masks to her $75 Reeboks. But there is one status item she simply can't resist: Gucci loafers.

Celebrities, socialites, and wealthy men and women alike can hardly resist the siren song of the classic shoe. Featuring their signature horsebit hardware, Gucci loafers have been a symbol of affluence and classic style since their introduction in the early 1950s. Holmes, who stepped out in a black pair just yesterday on a walk through New York City, also owns them in white and is spotted wearing them at least several times each month.

A new pair of Gucci loafers costs around $850 (so we can see why they're usually reserved for those with deep pockets), but we've done some sleuthing and dug up a bunch of styles on sale for hundreds less at Gilt. The flash sale site manages to keep prices low by only allowing members to shop, however the good news is that membership is completely free, all you need to do is sign up for an account with your email address.

Because of the site's ultra-low prices, inventory tends to move quickly. Right now, there's a few pairs of Gucci horsebit espadrille loafers for less than $450 and a pair of Gucci driving shoes for under $500, but both styles are at risk of selling out. With styles usually reserved for the one percent going for this little, we don't blame the other shoppers. Grab a pair for yourself (for way less) while you still can.
