8 Celebrities Step Out in Statement Heels at the Star Trek Into Darkness Premiere

Before Barbiecore pink and naked dresses dominated today’s red carpets, the stars of Star Trek Into Darkness were serving futuristic glam at their Los Angeles premiere on May 14, 2013.

The Dolby Theatre rolled out a chic gray carpet where Zoe Saldaña, Alice Eve, and their castmates brought bold looks—and even bolder heels.

It wasn’t just the film’s leads who turned heads. Style favorites like Kate Beckinsale, Catherine Bell, and Serinda Swan joined the celebration, proving that 2013 red carpet fashion was anything but understated. From Oscar Tiye’s daring color-blocked sandals to Jimmy Choo’s playful “Myth” heels, the night was a showcase of statement shoes that still hold throwback appeal today.

Scroll on to revisit the best footwear moments from the Star Trek Into Darkness premiere and see which pair you’d still wear a decade later.

1. Zoe Saldaña in Oscar Tiye Sandals & a Daring Rodarte Gown

Zoe Saldaña, who brought Lieutenant Nyota Uhura to life in Star Trek Into Darkness, embraced the futuristic mood of the night in a daring Rodarte Fall 2013 gown. The nude dress shimmered with golden undertones and featured Rodarte’s signature asymmetrical draping and layered, gauzy fabrics—an ethereal mix that felt both delicate and high-fashion.

At the time, sheer panels and barely-there designs were just beginning to dominate red carpets, and Zoe proved how to wear the trend without sacrificing elegance. More than a decade later, her look still feels ahead of its time, striking that perfect balance between edgy and enchanting.

Zoe kept her jewelry very simple — droplet pearl earrings and a beautiful multistrand pearl bracelet from designer Aurelie Bidermann. We are just in love with this dainty-looking cuff, and it goes perfectly with Zoe’s dress.
