Holiday party season is here, so bring out your ugly (yet cute) Christmas sweaters and sequin dresses. My finishing touch to any festive ensemble? Knee-high boots—and Keira Knightley understood the assignment.

Spotted in New York City, Knightley wore a merry ‘fit, complete with a lace peek-a-boo blouse, scalloped top jacket, and velvet wide-leg shorts. While I could write a novel about each piece, her sexy knee-high boots that look as if they were taken from a Hallmark set stole the show.

Modatope Foldover Knee-High Boots

$63 at Amazon

The statement shoes boasted a holly red hue, glistening finish, and square toe, while a slouchy shaft and foldover design set the style apart from more traditional versions. The two-toned chunky heel additionally provided a leg-lengthening effect that can’t be dismissed.

Marc Fisher Fadila Knee-High Boots

$60 at Amazon

Marc Fisher offers a pretty spot-on lookalike with similar bold elements. The main difference? A pointed toe as opposed to Knightley’s square one, which, IMO, adds an even sultrier touch.

Steve Madden Corenne Foldover Boots

$200 at Nordstrom

But block heels aren’t the only way to achieve the style. Consider this Steve Madden Corenne Foldover Boot that includes a—wait for it—wedge heel. You may be thinking, “That’s so early 2000s,” but Kate Hudson and Gisele Bündchen are making a case for the look… and you can, too.

Jeffrey Campbell Hot Lava High-Stretch Boots

$190 at Nordstrom

Though, let’s be honest; the holiday magic is found in the color itself, so mimic Knightley’s festive attire with Jeffrey Campbell’s Hot Lava Boots. They ditch the fold-over element altogether, but channel the aesthetic with a square heel and toe.

Styling your new celebrity-approved footwear doesn’t have to be difficult. Take Knightley’s fashion advice and opt for a cozy skirt, like this cashmere J.Crew find, and throw on a sleek cardigan. For a foolproof outfit ensemble, slip on any kind of snuggly sweater and cropped wide-leg jeans.

Keep scrolling for more maroon knee-high boots, including both foldover and straight designs.
