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.
