Fanning’s ensemble included a pinstriped button-down neatly tucked high-waisted wide-leg trousers with a crease down each leg; the pants were cinched at the waist with a belt and a navy tie with a pattern was fastened at her neck. For some of the photos on the red carpet, Fanning unified the suit look with a double-breasted blazer with strong shoulders and a dramatic sharp lapel; the jacket was in the same taupe shade as her pants. Meanwhile, her hair was parted to the side and styled in sleek blonde waves while a singular pin contributed to her posh aura.

Her chic business vibe was enhanced by a pair of striking black pointed-toe wedges. The shoes featured an elongated pointed toe which curved into a narrow square-edged tip; the dramatic silhouette only emphasized the commanding nature of her outfit. The shoes appeared to be a design from Saint Laurent’s Spring 2025 Ready-to-Wear Collection.

Her stylist Samantha McMillen shared photos of the look on Instagram. The heels piqued a fan’s interest, who asked in the comments, “I’m curious about the shoe. Sling back kitten?” to which McMilled responded, “It’s a sling back metal wedge.” In another photo the stylist shared to her Instagram Story, Fanning’s shoe was visible revealing a thing slingback strap, an exaggerated pointed toe and a sleek, metal wedge.

Stella McCartney also makes a vegan black pump with a similar pointed toe; the brand’s Elsa style retails for $860 from Bergdorf Goodman.

Fanning has certainly been turning heads as she promotes “A Complete Unknown.” She wore a different menswear look hailing from Bottega Veneta last month which included hardware-adorned loafers. More recent footwear choices of Fanning’s have included black pumps from Shushu/Tong and off-white mules from Betzabe.
