In mid-December 2019, Brie Larson stepped out in New York City during the Just Mercy press tour wearing two very different looks that have aged remarkably well: Giuseppe Zanotti’s satin Hanna bow mules paired with Sleeper’s feather-trimmed Party pajamas for a Good Morning America appearance, and an Alexander McQueen Resort 2020 floral dress styled with black Celine boots at an event hosted by The Edition.

Photographed outside Good Morning America on December 16, 2019, Larson embraced the pajama-dressing trend in Sleeper’s pink feather-trimmed Party set, layered beneath a floor-length coat and finished with Giuseppe Zanotti’s satin Hanna mules.

Styled by Samantha McMillen, the outfit balanced the ease of loungewear with the polished finish of an evening shoe.

Defined by their oversized bow detail, covered heel, and approximately 105 mm (4.1-inch) heel height, the Hanna mules became one of Zanotti’s most recognizable evening styles of the late 2010s. Introduced in satin and later offered in shades such as red, pink, and leopard print, the design remains active in resale and outlet markets years after its debut.

Although the Hanna mule is no longer a core seasonal style, its influence remains visible in Giuseppe Zanotti’s current collections. By July 2026, Farfetch stocked contemporary designs such as the Lumière 90, Mariposa 105, Elsa crystal velvet mules, and several Intriigo variations, suggesting that the brand has never moved far from the embellished, high-impact evening aesthetic that made the Hanna memorable during the late 2010s.

During her Good Morning America appearance, Larson spoke warmly about collaborating with her Just Mercy co-stars Michael B. Jordan and Jamie Foxx, describing Jordan as a leader both on and off set and crediting Foxx with bringing energy, humor, and music to the filming process.

The Hanna silhouette has demonstrated unusual staying power for a trend-driven mule. Originally retailing for roughly $750–$995, the design still surfaces through luxury resale platforms and Giuseppe Zanotti outlet channels, while its oversized bow construction continues to appeal to collectors of statement evening footwear. Its longevity was underscored years later when Kirsten Dunst wore Giuseppe Zanotti Hanna mule sandals with a black Lanvin dress and oversized coat.

Larson took a different approach the previous evening at an event held at The Edition in New York City on December 15, 2019. She selected an Alexander McQueen Resort 2020 dress featuring a bold floral print, cinched at the waist with a black belt and grounded by sleek black Celine boots that became a recurring choice during the Just Mercy promotional circuit.
