Printed pumps are an efficient way to bring whimsy and fun to any ensemble. Many brands offer polka-dotted styles including Saint Laurent, Crocs, Marni, Comme Des Garcon and Betsey Johnson, just to name a few.

The “Scenes from a Marriage” actress was outfitted in a coordinating black and white long-sleeve polka-dotted dress. The printed garment was layered underneath a sleek black leather jacket that was fitted with silver hardware. Rounding out her look, Chastain sported large black sunglasses featuring a cat-eye construction. The actress’ instantly recognizable red hair was worn straightened and set in a face-framing side part.

Chastain’s shoe style is sleek and glamorous. The “Zero Dark Thirty” actress often wears pointed-toe pumps in a range of shades on the red carpet, hailing from brands including Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weitzman and Sergio Rossi. She’s also been seen in metallic-heeled sandals by Charlotte Olympia, Prada and Aquazzura over the years. Off-duty, Chastain’s rotation is decidedly more casual, including New Balance sneakers and low-heeled boots from brands including Chanel.
