In June 2014, Jaime King was all covered up when we spotted her in the East Village in New York City. The actress was decked in a purple outfit that wasn’t the most flattering, although she managed to pull it off well enough to look elegant.

The color also brought out Jaime’s bleach-blonde hair and fair skin, making her appear more striking and otherworldly.

What threw us off, however, were the shoes Jaime used to go with the whole look — white pointy slingback pumps.
Don’t get us wrong; they were gorgeous but weren’t strictly the perfect heels for the outfit. Simple ankle-strap sandals would have been enough to seal the deal.

Had she chosen a shorter skirt — like a midi or one that falls just below the knees — the whole mix could have worked out alright.
How about you? Do you think Jaime looks on point, or should she have worn a different pair of heels? If you had to pick a pair for her all-purple dress, what kind of shoes would it be?
