Margaret Qualley Goes Preppy in Capped-Toe Mary Janes at the 25th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival Honors
More from Footwear News
Margaret Qualley attended the 25th Annual Newport Beach Film Festival Honors & Variety’s 10 Actors to Watch held at The Balboa Bay Club and Resort yesterday in Newport Beach, Calif.
“The Substance” star went the preppy route for the red carpet in a pair of black Mary Jane-inspired block heels. It’s likely the shoes hail from Chanel, given Qualley’s affinity for the brand and its footwear offerings. The shoe pick featured mixed black leather and satin uppers that transitioned into almond-shaped capped toes and thin leather ankle straps threaded through adjustable buckle closures in gold.
2 to 3-inch block heels rounded out the set, creating a subtle boost in height. Prospective buyers looking to channel Qualley’s look can shop similar styles to her own from top brands like Prada, Tods, Miu Miu, Ferragamo and Christian Louboutin, among others. No matter the style, Mary Jane silhouettes are a staple in many celebrities’ wardrobes. The style is endlessly versatile, boasting major longevity since its creation in the early 20th century.
Bringing the sunshine, Qualley donned a bright yellow knitwear set from Chanel’s 2025 Resort collection. The two-piece included micro shorts and a preppy cardigan featuring a wavy lettuce trim and ornate buttons.
Beyond Qualley, notable attendees included Colman Domingo, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Amy Poehler, Nicolas Cage, Ella Hunt and Bobby Cannavale, among others.
The “Kinds of Kindness” actress is a major fixture of the fashion scene. More often than not, you’ll find Qualley clad in Chanel, given the star has been involved with the major fashion label since 2012. Most recently, the thespian appeared in the brand’s fall 2024/25 ready-to-wear campaign.
As far as footwear is concerned, Chanel is usually the name of the game. From flats to Mary Janes and block heels, Qualley often reaches for the French fashion house’s more neutral shoe designs, often fixed with cap toes and suede accents.
