In a chic throwback to the 2014 Venice Film Festival, Burying the Ex star Ashley Greene reminded everyone why she was one of Hollywood’s most polished red-carpet dressers.
Attending the film’s photocall alongside co-stars Alexandra Daddario and the late Anton Yelchin, the then-27-year-old actress exuded understated sophistication in a layered navy-and-white Alexander McQueen ensemble.

Christian Louboutin’s “So Kate” Pumps Perfected Ashley Greene’s Sculptural McQueen Look
Greene balanced the architectural tailoring of her McQueen blouse and trousers with a timeless footwear choice — Christian Louboutin’s “So Kate” pumps, crafted in sleek black silk.
The So Kate is widely regarded as one of Louboutin’s most iconic styles: a daring evolution of the original Kate (launched in 2012 and named after supermodel Kate Moss), this 2013 iteration features a dramatic 120 mm stiletto heel, razor-sharp silhouette, low-cut vamp, steep arch, and, of course, the signature red-lacquered sole.
Designed to elongate the leg and add a sensual, sculptural edge, the So Kate remains a red-carpet favorite—though its extreme height also makes it one of Louboutin’s most challenging heels to wear.

Alexandra Daddario Added a Playful Twist in a Red Mini Dress and Leopard-Print Loafers
Standing beside Greene was Alexandra Daddario—standing 5′7″ (170.2 cm) tall and wearing a US shoe size 9—who opted for a bold red mini dress paired with chic leopard-print loafers at the same photo call.
Her playful yet classic styling provided a striking contrast to Greene’s polished navy-and-white McQueen ensemble, perfectly capturing two distinct approaches to modern festival glamour.
