Why Ana de Armas’s Favorite Saint Laurent ‘Andy’ Sneakers Are Still a Luxury Staple in 2026

In Los Angeles in spring 2020, Ana de Armas and Ben Affleck drew heavy attention during a series of casual neighborhood outings that quickly became part of the celebrity style conversation of the pandemic era.

While much of the coverage focused on their relationship, Ana’s off-duty wardrobe also stood out for its relaxed mix of denim, easy separates, and practical designer footwear.

Across several walks with their dogs in Pacific Palisades, she rotated between black lace-up boots and white Saint Laurent ‘Andy’ sneakers, styling both with laid-back pieces that reflected the understated approach to celebrity street style that became especially influential during 2020.

Ben wore a blue button-down shirt with brown pants and gray sneakers. Meanwhile, Ana looked summer-chic in a black tank top paired with vintage-inspired mom jeans from Citizens of Humanity.

The divorced Cuban-Spanish actress, previously married to Marc Clotet Fresquet, went makeup-free and finished the look with a pair of black lace-up boots.

Just two days earlier, on March 30, Ben and Ana were seen looking all loved up as they strolled through their neighborhood with their dogs.

Ben wore a button-up dark gray shirt with rolled-up sleeves, black pants, and leather sneakers. Ana captured attention in a ruby-red Zimmermann outfit, which included a frilly, long-sleeved crop top with a V-neck and a wide collar, and a matching shirred-waist maxi skirt.

Ana de Armas returned to the white Saint Laurent “Andy” sneakers repeatedly throughout 2020, turning the minimalist designer style into one of the defining pieces of her off-duty wardrobe.

While walking dogs in Pacific Palisades, shopping in Santa Monica, or heading to casual lunches in Los Angeles, she consistently relied on the low-profile leather sneakers to balance comfort with a polished finish.

The actress showed how versatile the sneakers could be by styling them with dramatically different outfits. In one outing, she paired the shoes with a romantic ruby-red Zimmermann set, while another look paired the same sneakers with Etro paisley-flared jeans and relaxed separates for a more retro-inspired California look. She also wore them with cropped Rachel Comey trousers and a Bella Freud sweater during a casual outing with Ben Affleck and his children in Los Angeles, reinforcing how frequently the sneakers appeared in her everyday rotation.

Unlike bulkier luxury sneakers that dominated the late 2010s, the Saint Laurent “Andy” stood out for its slimmer silhouette, subtle gold foil branding, and refined “lace-to-toe” construction.

Crafted in Italy from soft calfskin leather, the sneakers offered a cleaner, more understated alternative to chunkier streetwear styles, which helped them work equally well with denim, floaty skirts, and tailored casualwear.

Ana’s preference for the crisp white leather version also helped maintain the polished aesthetic that became associated with celebrity “quarantine style” during 2020. Even on paparazzi-heavy candid outings, the sneakers gave her casual looks a more intentional, elevated feel without appearing overdressed.

The Saint Laurent “Andy” sneakers have since evolved from a pandemic-era trend piece into a modern luxury staple. When Ana de Armas wore the Optic White version in 2020, the style retailed for around $525.

Recent resale activity on StockX shows the model continuing to hold strong value years later, with most sales between 2024 and 2026 landing in the roughly $400–$500 range, though some larger sizes have sold for considerably more.

The sustained resale demand reflects how the slim, minimalist sneaker has remained relevant well beyond the peak of the “quarantine chic” era that first helped popularize it.

The Cuban-Spanish actress had already gained international recognition through films including Blade Runner 2049 and Knives Out, but these candid outings helped establish her as a closely watched figure in off-duty fashion and on the red carpet.

Even in her most relaxed off-duty looks, Ana de Armas tends to finish an outfit with shoes that feel intentional, whether she is wearing practical lace-up boots, clean white sneakers, metallic sandals, or sleek designer heels.

Her style has moved easily between casual Los Angeles streetwear and high-glamour Louis Vuitton moments, making her shoe choices a useful throughline in her fashion evolution.
