Amber Heard leaned into a dark, textural aesthetic for the premiere of Gully at the SVA Theater in New York City on April 27, 2019. At the Tribeca Film Festival, the actress opted for a layered ensemble that emphasized lace, leather, and transparency.

The look centered on a sheer lace trench coat from the Claes Iversen Spring 2018 Couture collection, styled over a black bodysuit and sheer hosiery.

While the outfit featured intricate embroidery and a heavy leather belt, the focal point for footwear enthusiasts was her choice of mesh stilettos, which mirrored the delicate patterns of her gloves and coat.

She was joined at the premiere by her co-stars Charlie Plummer and Kelvin Harrison Jr.

The ensemble transitioned from structured couture to a more daring silhouette from the back, revealing the bodysuit beneath the lace.

To ground the sheer lace textures of her Claes Iversen couture look, Amber finished the ensemble with a wide leather belt and Christian Louboutin’s “Follies Resille” fishnet pumps — one of the designer’s most recognizable “second-skin” silhouettes.

Crafted from nearly invisible polyamide tulle reinforced with a sharply pointed leather toe and structured heel counter, the mesh stilettos create the illusion that the shoe is floating against the foot.

Unlike the crystal-covered Follies Strass variation, the plain Resille version feels more architectural and understated, making it a longtime favorite among red-carpet stylists for its breathable construction, flexible fit, and barely-there effect.
