Sure, Beyoncé is currently in her Cowboy Carter era, which means cowboy boots and western outfits galore. But when she’s not dazzling on stage in glamorous fringes and towering heels, she sometimes takes a minute to go casual.

Stepping out for a night in London to celebrate the end of her six-day stint at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium as part of her Cowboy Carter tour, Queen Bey was recently seen exiting Harry’s Bar, where she went for a more relaxed (but still totally elevated) look in an oversized green blazer and slouchy jeans. And on her feet? Not cowboy boots, but rather the perfect year-round, cool-girl shoe: loafers! Yep, even Bey is a fan of the posh footwear.

Her exact pair appears to be the Astaire metallic knot leather loafers from Bottega Veneta. While those will run you about $1,100 (whew!), there are plenty of similar versions of this classic style—featuring the same sort of metallic embellishment, no less—available for a fraction of the price. Read on to check them out.

Made exclusively in the brand's Portuguese atelier, these luxe leather loafers boast a low, thick heel and a vintage-inspired, gold-finished brass chain on the upper. Its closed-toe coverage protects your foot for a day of walking, while its versatile design means you can pair it with anything in your closet, whether it's jeans like Bey or work-ready pleated trousers.

Equal parts sleek and chic, these luster calf leather loafers from Larroude effortlessly combine fashion and function. Per the brand, they come with a fitted rubber sole for support, durability and comfort, and there's a memory foam cushion that molds to your foot as you wear it. These are available in a range of neutral hues that work for all seasons—all topped off with that gorgeous gold accent.

These beauties will definitely become a staple in your wardrobe thanks to their cushy foam footbed and elegant appearance. They boast a padded leather insole that accompanies their all-leather construction, and according to shoppers, they also have a little bit of give that adds to their comfort. "They are so comfortable, I feel like I’m gliding when I wear them," raves one buyer. However, some say you need to size down in order to achieve a perfect fit, which is something to keep in mind as you shop.

A stylish loafer for under $70?! It almost feels too good to be true, but the good news is—it's not. These Michael Kors loafers are, indeed, the real deal, with a leather upper and timeless almond-toe silhouette. Boasting a minimalist look that pays homage to the '90s, they feature a convenient slip-on style and come in two additional hues, all of which include gold hardware across the top. Trust me, they won't disappoint (especially at this price!).
