Sandal heel or otherwise, metallic styles have quickly become a favorite of many. The unmistakable sheen adds dimension and flair to any ensemble, elevating the wearer’s look with little to no effort. Aquazzura, Paris Texas, Prada, Balenciaga, Isabel Marant, Mugler and Simon Miller are just a few brands that carry metallic styles of all kinds. Gold, silver or bronze, brands have been implementing metallic finishes into footwear and apparel to impart the futuristic look associated with the sheen.

On the outfit front, Henson donned a long-sleeve mini dress made of white and silver fabric. The garment was equipped with structural shoulders and a daring plunging neckline. The actress was on theme along with the rest of her costars and attendees who donned their best ’70s fashion to the premiere.
