When you think of Sandra Bullock, flashy and sexy are not the first words that come to mind. But that was exactly how she looked yesterday when she attended the U.K. premiere of her new movie, The Heat.

The Oscar-winning actress graced the event in a black backless Victoria Beckham dress that intentionally exposed a matching brassiere.

As we scanned her outfit, we were even more surprised (and delighted) by the heels she paired the dress with—divine mixed-media strappy sandals that are (relatively) affordable—the L.A.M.B. ‘Payton’ sandals.

Wowza! Who’d have thought that Sandy here was into the high-low mix?!

Here’s the thing. Sandra wasn’t the only star in a pair of breathtaking heels at the premiere. Natalie Dormer from ‘Game of Thrones’ also attended the event in a stunning pair of sandals we couldn’t take our eyes off.

The shoes have straps that are beautifully cut out and sculpted. She styled them with an ALICE by Temperley Pre-Fall 2013 ensemble of a lace-sleeved silk keyhole top and skirt.

Do you like Natalie’s sandals? They’re from Rupert Sanderson. In addition to black, they’re available in pink and orange.

The ultimate question is between Sandra Bullock and Natalie Dormer: who wore the hotter pair at the premiere? Whose sandals would you grab and wear? Which pair are you more inclined to get if you have the moolah to spend away?
