Lupita Nyong’o attended “The Wild Robot” photocall during the 72nd San Sebastian International Film Festival at the Kursaal Palace today in San Sebastian, Spain.
The “Us” actress was camera-ready in a pair of Gianvito Rossi Plexi pumps. Retailing for $815 on the designer footwear brand’s website, the silhouette included mixed clear PVC and plush white leather uppers and pointed toes all set atop 4.1-inch stiletto heels.
If white isn’t your thing, Gianvito Rossi also stocks the Plexi style in “Black,” “Neutrals” and “Red” colorways, offering prospective buyers a diverse range to pick from. While the style has waned in popularity, clear silhouettes have always reigned supreme. Clear heels first became popular in the 90s and early 2000s worn by club kids and pole dancers alike. In 2016, Kim Kardashian made history by wearing a pair of polarizing clear Yeezy booties. The star is credited with revitalizing the trend.

The “Black Panther” star was also dressed in a PH5 floral-printed Jasmine tank dress in a brown, white and yellow colorway.
Nyong’o is known to take a daring and bold approach to fashion. From Oscar de la Renta gowns to Valentino minidresses, the entertainer has quickly become a force in fashion and never misses a mark. For footwear, Nyong’o tends to gravitate towards pointy printed pumps, height-defying platforms and bright strappy sandals.
