Ferrera’s dress stopped just above her ankles and the skirt of the garment was free-flowing and flouncy. The girly garment was tiered, mimicking the look of a backed good.

As for footwear, Ferrera sported a pair of white pointed-toe pumps. The shoes were crafted out of shiny patent leather and fitted with stiletto heels reaching an estimated 3 to 4 inches. Despite their size, the stiletto heels offered the thespian a rather sizeable boost in height. Additionally, the pair featured knife-like pointed toes.
