Offering her look a shiny touch, Blunt donned silver and gold leather backless mules from Malone Souliers. The heeled mules featured thin gold straps that fastened the footwear to the thespian’s feet along with sharp pointed toes. The shoes were mostly silver and sat on top of 3-inch gold stiletto heels. The brand’s Maureen 70 style mule also comes in black + gold velvet, black leather, nude leather and wine rose gold with a satin finish, among a variety of other colorways.
