Yara Shahidi Shines Bright in Disco Ball-Inspired Boots at ‘Peter Pan & Wendy’ NYC Screening

Yara Shahidi attended a special screening of “Peter Pan & Wendy” at the South Street Seaport Museum in New York yesterday.

The event saw the “Black-ish” star clad in a sleeveless dark gray maxi-length dress from Bottega Veneta comprised of a mock neckline and a diamond-shaped cutout on the bodice. The peekaboo bodice transitioned smoothly into a lengthy skirt featuring sleek ruching and knotted detailing on each side just above her hips, gathering the fabric up in a whimsical manner.

On the footwear front, Shahidi stepped out in silver knee-high boots featuring mirrored metallic uppers and crosshatched embossing. The boots were reminiscent of a disco ball with a high shine finish and striking square toes all sat atop sizeable wedge heels that gave Shahidi a rather big boost.
