Taylor-Joy’s grungy black pumps, crafted from a glossy Patent leather textile, featured a rounded-toe silhouette, a 3-inch platform base and an estimated 5-inch stiletto heel. Additionally, the star’s shoes were designed with a series of thick black straps, one across the middle of the foot and one wrapped around the ankle, with each adorned in a selection of three-dimensional rounded chrome studs.

Edgy Footwear: A Celebrity Staple

A number of stars have been spotted in similar pairs of grunge-inspired shoes recently, sporting chunky boot, heel and loafer silhouettes adorned with bulky silver hardware and layered textiles. Julia Fox, often photographed in eccentric fashions made from unconventional materials, was seen leaving an awards show in Los Angeles in a pair of knee-high black leather boots. The star’s boots were adorned with a faux-collar detail positioned just above the top hemline, as well as a large silver chainlink suspended along the shoe’s length.
