The heels, with their slender straps and simple design, seamlessly blended with Thorne’s sun-kissed skin, creating an elongating effect that made her legs appear endlessly long. This optical illusion is a key reason why tonal heels remain a beloved choice among fashion aficionados and celebrities alike including Meghan Markle and Anya Taylor-Joy.

The brown croc embossed sandals boasted a modest stiletto heel that offered just the right amount of elevation. The design was both comfortable and stylish, ensuring Thorne could navigate the festival’s bustling atmosphere with ease. The subtle sheen of the patent leather heels caught the light beautifully, adding a hint of sparkle to her overall look.
