Ashley Benson is clearly a pro when it comes to packing for a French getaway. Between breezy dresses, designer bags and effortless jewelry, every look from her trip to Saint-Tropez struck the perfect balance of polished and unfussy. But it wasn’t her Chanel bag or lace slip dress that caught our attention — it was the chic jelly flats that quietly tied her outfit together.
The Pretty Little Liars alum recently shared photos from her family vacation, showing off a black lace slip dress styled with a quilted shoulder bag and clear jelly ballet flats that seemed straight off the runway. However, her shoes weren’t actually a splurge — Benson wore the Steve Madden Grove Ballet Flats, which are hiding on Amazon for just $49.

The clear jelly flats are the kind of shoe that instantly makes a summer wardrobe feel more current. The translucent design pairs with almost anything, from linen dresses and tailored shorts to relaxed denim and breezy maxis. The modern square toe also keeps this shoe looking elevated instead of overly playful. If clear isn’t quite your style, the same pick is also available in red, tortoiseshell, blue and several other colors in sizes 5 through 12.
These flats just as practical as they are stylish, too. The slip-on silhouette makes them easy to throw on before heading out the door, while the airy jelly cage design feels vacation-ready. With a subtle 0.25-inch heel, the shoe adds just enough lift without sacrificing comfort. One shopper called them “so comfortable and so cute,” adding they’re perfect to “wear to either a dinner or just to run errands” and fit true to size.
Another reviewer admitted they were hesitant to try jelly shoes again after remembering uncomfortable pairs from high school, but quickly changed their mind, writing, “boy am I glad I did . . . [they’re] so comfy and still stylish.” One person even admitted that they’re already on their second pair, since the flats “don’t cut in or hurt your feet at all,” adding, “I’ll probably get a third pair. They are just so whimsical.”
Whether you’re planning your own seaside escape or simply want shoes that make everyday outfits feel a little more fashion-forward, Benson’s exact jelly flats are an easy way to capture her vacation style — without spending designer money.
