Debby Ryan, star of the Disney Channel's "Jessie,"
may choose footwear looks that run the gamut, but she leans toward one favorite
style: boots.
"I'm a huge fan of them. I like a good vintage cowboy or combat boot," said the actress.
Ryan, 19, plays the lead role in the network's comedy, which is currently shooting its second season, set to air this fall. She also has played characters in the Disney series "The Suite Life on Deck" and the original movie "16 Wishes," in which she sang the theme song. (Music is Ryan's second love, after acting. She currently runs a music blog, through which she conducts interviews with musicians, and she aims to launch a record label in the future.)
And while Ryan and her on-screen character share a few fashion commonalities, she described their signature styles as distinct — and from opposite coasts.
"We both love vintage silhouettes, but [Jessie] is in New York and always in a blazer and heels. I try to be a bit more sensible. I'm really into personalizing or customizing looks," said Ryan, who resides in Los Angeles.
So what does that mean for her personal footwear choices? "I bought combat boots at an Army surplus store and now I'm going to stud them," she said.
Here, the star sounds off on her favorite footwear shops, the best looks for the beach and how she and her TV persona share a love of boots.

Favorite brands: "I kind
of live in a dream world. I like footwear at the top of the [price] spectrum

I have some Vans and Converse Chuck Taylors. I like Charlotte Olympia's
loafers, and I want some YSL Tributes."
Brands you wear on set: "[My character], Jessie, is really into tall boots, so what we like doing is hanging necklaces from the boots. She also has been into short booties lately. She wears Splendid, Elizabeth & James sandals and has an Alice & Olivia pair."
