Meryl Streep was spotted wearing a chic pair of silver pointed-toe stilettos after a photo call before receiving the prestigious Honorary Palme d’Or at the 77th edition of the Cannes Film Festival on Tuesday afternoon.
In town to receive the Honorary Palme d’Or, the highest prize at the Cannes Film Festival, Streep was accompanied by Cannes Film Festival director Thierry Fremaux, who was wearing a sleek pair of black leather oxfords. As for Streep’s footwear style, pumps have been a signature shoe statement dating back to the beginning of her career in the 1970s.
In December 2021, the actress stopped by NBC’s “Today Show” in a vibrant pair of red velvet pumps. The shoes were designed with a scalloped vamp detail and boosted by a stiletto heel that measured between 3 to 4 inches. Stiletto pumps with an estimated 3 to 4-inch heel are what you can typically find Streep in for high–profile events and occasions, but she is also known for occasionally donning a pair of flats. The “Little Women” star was photographed in 2020 wearing a pair of all-black flip-flops that featured thin straps and a plush footbed, perfect for warm-weather looks.
About the shoes
Streep opted to keep it more formal and comfortable for her visit to the Cannes Film Festival on Saturday, arriving at the event in a pair of metallic silver pointed-toe pumps that were constructed in shiny patent leather material. No additional embellishments were present as the shoes were kept simple to further compliment her outfit. The pumps were rounded out by a stiletto heel kept within the typical 3 to 4-inch stiletto range that Streep prefers.
About strappy sandals
While the style has experienced some updates over the decades, pointed-toe pumps are a classic model that blends together elements of vintage and modern-day fashion, with the silhouette being praised for its versatility and ease of styling. Regarded as a preferred shoe for red carpets and formal occasions, the popularity of the slim stiletto heel started re-emerging again at the start of the 2020s. Many brands such as Stuart Weitzman, Chanel and Gucci offer a wide range of pointed pumps throughout the season.
