Angelina Jolie is known for her love of a classic style – black pants and shirt, neutral maxi dresses, trench coats and comfortable shoes. But it seems the mom-of-six has truly found her staple summer shoe as she has, once again, been pictured in a pair of simple but stunning block-heel mules.

The actress has been switching between two pairs; a tan Clare Leather mule designed by Salvatore Ferragamo, and a brown pair by Dolce&Gabbana – the DG Cutout Leather Slide Sandals – both of which retail at $595.

The easy-to-wear mule is this year’s hot trend, thanks to it’s eye-catching design and the ability for it to transform any outfit. Jeans and a shirt? Slip on a mule for an elevated but fun brunch outfit. Elegant midi gown? Add a mule for a little “je ne sais pas”.

Angelina has been spotted wearing her favourite new shoe all over the county this summer; while out in New York City, the Eternals star was spotted wearing a sleek, all-white suit made up of a slouchy linen blazer, a white satin crew-neck T-shirt, and matching wide-leg trousers.

She paired the look with the low-heeled Salvatore Ferragamo sandals.

For her 46th birthday earlier in June, Angie did switch out the mule for a classic pump heel – in a nude color that definitely matched her usual aesthetic – but she shocked fans by rocking a very out-of-character bright yellow dress.

The actress spent the evening with all six of her children, who reportedly surprised her with dinner at popular Los Angeles restaurant, Tao. For the occasion, the actress swapped her usual all-black and neutral uniform in favour of something a bit more festive, wearing an eye-catching bright yellow organza floaty summer dress.

Jolie’s children, whom she shares with ex-husband Brad Pitt, Maddox, 19, Pax, 17, Zahara, 16, Shiloh, 15, and 12-year-old twins Vivienne and Knox were all photographed leaving the restaurant with their mum. According to a source who spoke with PEOPLE, “The kids surprised her with a special dinner out” and, prior to that, they “had a great day celebrating at home.”
