Dr. Martens’ signature yellow stitching is a common thread among stylish celebs.
While the boots have been a rock star favorite since the 1960s, Docs are still popping up on everyone from supermodels to reality stars.
So if you’re planning to give some of your old footwear the boot this fall in favor of fresh styles, we’ve broken down famous folks’ most-worn pairs from the beloved brand.
Below, explore (and shop) five of stars’ favorite Dr. Martens designs, from classic lace-ups to loafers. (And for more fall fashion inspiration, don’t forget to check out our guide to all of the most celeb-loved boots leaving their footprint on Hollywood these days.)
Dr. Martens 1460 Boots
While Dr. Martens was once known as a workwear brand — its shoes were even marketed for gardening at one point — it grew beyond its roots with the advent of the1460 boot. The eight-hole design ushered in a new era for the label, which saw it linked to subculture and adopted by rockers like The Who’s Pete Townsend in the 1960s.
In the six decades since, the distinctive design has (quite literally) kept its edge — and racked up plenty of celebrity fans in the process, in addition to high-end collaborations with the likes of Rick Owens and Marc Jacobs.
Selena Gomez, Avril Lavigne and Gigi Hadid all own pairs, while Kourtney Kardashian has been lacing up hers more often since linking up with fellow Docs fan Travis Barker.

Dr. Martens Jadon Boots
The Jadon boot is similarly high on superstar’s must-have lists, as Halsey, Olivia Rodrigo, Kristen Stewart and Dua Lipa all own pairs.
Stars hardly save them for casual looks on the street or stage, however; Miley Cyrus quite literally elevated the platforms by teaming them with a sparkling gown in 2016, while Willow Smith has styled hers with leg warmers.
