Jessica Chastain proved the enduring appeal of a statement heel at the 2016 Jazz at Lincoln Center Gala in New York City, opting for a look that balanced intricate texture with high-shine glamour.
Arriving at the “Jazz and Broadway” event at Frederick P. Rose Hall, the actress showcased the versatility of the Sophia Webster “Belle” platform sandals—the same crystal-embellished pair famously spotted on Saoirse Ronan earlier that year.
