Gillian Anderson arrived at the Broadway premiere of “Patriots” at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on April 22 in New York City while sporting a pair of heeled sandals in a beige colorway.
The “Sex Education” actress has been seen several times attending red-carpet premieres and star-studded events in similar footwear silhouettes. Recently, Anderson was spotted on March 27 in a pair of metallic silver Gianvitto Rossi shoes during the world premiere of her latest movie “Scoop” in London. The star’s sandals featured an open-toe silhouette and an estimated 3-inch stiletto heel.
From British playwright Peter Morgan, “Patriots” is a dramatic stage play that follows the life of a Russian businessman, played by actor Michael Stuhlbarg, during the decline of the Soviet Union. Anderson attended the show’s premiere alongside several other stars including Sarah Paulson, Victoria Pedretti, Camila Canó-Flaviá, Ben Ahlers, Danielle Chaves, Alex Hurt and Peter Bradbury, among others.
About the Shoes
Anderson’s light nude shoes, crafted from a soft leather textile, featured an open-toe silhouette and an estimated 3-inch stiletto heel. Additionally, the star’s footwear style was adorned with a thin ankle strap in the same neutral colorway and finished with a small silver buckle closure.
Over the years, several celebrities have been spotted sporting similar styles of open-toed shoe silhouettes. In fact, Venus Williams was recently seen attending the red carpet premiere of “Challengers” on Tuesday in Los Angeles while wearing a pair of Le Silla’s Bella sandals. The shoe, designed in glossy black leather, featured several diagonally placed straps along the front and a singular strap at the ankle.
Nude Sandals: A Footwear Staple
A classic footwear colorway, nude sandals have been shown in a number of designer collections from Saint Laurent to Jimmy Choo. Most recently, Nicky Hilton Rothschild was spotted wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin Patent leather slingback sandals while walking around New York City. The star’s neutral-colored shoes featured a 5.25-inch platform base constructed from a lightly colored cork, buckle-adorned slingback silhouette and small peep toe detail.
