Elizabeth Banks made her grand appearance at the New York City premiere of her latest film, “Skincare,” on Tuesday night. The event, held at IFC Center, saw the actress, filmmaker, and producer arriving in a look that effortlessly blended old Hollywood glamour with modern edge.
Banks, styled by Erin Walsh, who has also worked with the likes of Selena Gomez, stepped onto the red carpet in a shimmering silver dress by LaPointe. The sleeveless number featured scalloped sequins that glistened under the lights. The dress, which hit just at the knee, boasted a halter neckline with subtle draping, adding a touch of elegance to the overall look.
While the dress was statement in it’s own right, Banks’ choice of footwear added the perfect finishing touch. She opted for a pair of black patent leather pointed-toe heels, with a modest heel height of approximately 3-4 inches. The classic silhouette of the heels provided a timeless contrast to the bold sparkle of her dress. Styled with sheer black tights, the heels exuded sophistication, grounding the outfit in a sleek, polished aesthetic.
