In June 2020, Ana de Armas joined Ben Affleck and his daughter Violet for a grocery run at Whole Foods in Brentwood, Los Angeles.

While the outing attracted attention for the family dynamic, it also captured a sneaker trend that was everywhere in celebrity off-duty style at the time: Golden Goose’s intentionally distressed Super-Star.

Ben Affleck kept to his usual off-duty uniform of a dark button-down, gray jeans, and brown lace-up boots, while Violet Affleck paired distressed skinny jeans and pale pink Nike sneakers with a flutter-sleeve white top
Rather than treating sneakers as a sporty afterthought, celebrities increasingly used Golden Goose pairs to give otherwise polished outfits a more relaxed, lived-in feel.
Ana de Armas styled hers with coordinating J Brand separates, creating an effortless look that felt put together without appearing overly styled.

She paired the look with a white Leset tee, which she tucked into her jeans, and a Dolce & Gabbana floral headscarf.
To complete her outfit, the Cuban-Spanish actress accessorized with hoop earrings, a gold Foundrae pendant chain necklace, a Cartier Love Bracelet, a Cartier Panthère Medium watch, and Golden Goose sneakers.

Why Golden Goose Sneakers Became a Celebrity Off-Duty Staple
Ana de Armas’ double-denim look fits neatly into the way celebrities often wear Golden Goose sneakers: not as pristine statement shoes, but as intentionally lived-in trainers that make casual outfits feel styled without looking overdone.

More than half a decade after this outing, the Super-Star remains Golden Goose’s signature sneaker. The style’s distressed finish, low-profile silhouette, and easy versatility helped make it a favorite among celebrities throughout the 2010s and early 2020s, and it continues to anchor the brand’s collection today.
The iconic Golden Goose Super-Star sneaker features premium metallic leather accents, gray flat laces, and a pre-scuffed vintage aesthetic
While Golden Goose has expanded with newer models such as the Ball Star, Purestar, Dad-Star, and Marathon, the Super-Star remains the design most closely associated with the label. Ana de Armas’ metallic-accent pair captures the formula that made the sneaker a celebrity staple: a shoe that feels broken in from the first wear and works just as easily with double denim as it does with dresses, tailoring, or athleisure.
