Léa Seydoux Dons High-Shine Sandals at Cannes Film Festival 2024 Opening Ceremony
The French actress slipped into silver metallic pumps to kick things off in the South of France.
Léa Seydoux complemented her glitzy sequined gown, a custom Louis Vuitton creation, with silver pumps at the opening ceremony of the Cannes Film Festival on May 14.
The French actress, who works with stylist Alexandra Imgruth, was last seen making a public appearance at Louis Vuitton’s show during Paris Fashion Week in March. Seydoux, a brand ambassador for the iconic fashion house since 2016, wore pointed heels in a bright chalk white for the occasion.
At the “Dune: Part Two” premiere in New York City on Feb. 25, she stepped out in gold stiletto sandals boasting barely-there crisscross straps. Seydoux donned the same soaring style at the film’s world premiere in London earlier that month.
The 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival kicked off on Tuesday with the premiere of “The Second Act,” in which Seydoux stars. The prestigious festival known for its glamorous red carpet fashion will showcase other anticipated films such as “Furiosa: A Mad Max Saga,” Francis Ford Coppola’s “Megalopolis” and “The Apprentice” starring Sebastian Stan as a young Donald Trump.”
About the Shoes
The “Blue Is the Warmest Colour” actress sported open-toe high heels featuring a shimmery mirror-like finish. The silver metallic shoes were complete with a buckled ankle strap fastening to secure the foot in place. The slender stiletto appeared to be between 3 to 4 inches tall.
Metallic Shoes
From towering pumps to chic flats and chunky loafers, shoes crafted in shiny metallic materials have been embraced by the fashion set for years. Luxury brands like Saint Laurent, Jimmy Choo and Aquazzura all offer metallic footwear styles, as do more accessible brands such as H&M and J.Crew. Shoes with high-shine finishes are frequently seen on the red carpet due to their ability to pop. Meryl Streep just opted for pointy silver metallic stilettos for a photocall at the film festival.
