Amy Adams and Amandla Stenberg’s Red Carpet Contrast: Thom Browne Elegance Meets Gucci Edge

At the Los Angeles premiere of their film “Dear Evan Hansen” in September 2021, Amy Adams and Amandla Stenberg brought contrasting red-carpet energy in their long, designer gowns.

Standing at 5 feet 3 ½ inches (161.3 cm) and wearing a US shoe size 6, Amy looked elegant in Thom Browne, while Amandla, even more petite at 5 feet 2 inches (157.5 cm) with a US shoe size 7, made a bold statement in Gucci.

Several years later, the premiere still feels like a red-carpet throwback worth revisiting—reminding us how both stars used height-defying gowns and accessories to command attention.

Included in Time’s list of Most Influential Teens in both 2015 and 2016, Amandla Stenberg flaunted her boobs in a revealing Gucci Pre-Fall 2021 look featuring a deep plunging neckline and heart pasties.

While Amandla Stenberg was still carving out her place as a red-carpet newcomer, Amy Adams had long been treating fans to standout fashion moments.

At the Batman v Superman European premiere in 2016, she stepped into one of her most memorable looks — and unlike her hidden heels at the Dear Evan Hansen premiere, this time Amy made sure her sparkling platforms were on full display.

Ever wondered whether Amy Adams is Team Batman or Team Superman? If so, you’re not alone. Gal “Wonder Woman” Gadot had the same question.

Amy looked striking in a blue strapless dress by British-Sicilian designer Antonio Berardi, which had a gorgeous detail at the waist that led down to a sexy thigh-high slit.

She completed her look with jewelry from Tiffany & Co., Graziela Gems, and Nigaam, a Tyler Alexandra clutch, and a pair of glittering Jimmy Choo “Laurita” sandals. The Laurita is one of the brand’s most glamorous and vintage-inspired designs, featuring crisscross straps, an adjustable ankle buckle, and a shimmering metallic finish.

With a towering 4.5- to 5-inch heel balanced by a supportive 1-inch platform, the style offers dramatic height without sacrificing stability — a reason it has become a red-carpet favorite among celebrities seeking both glamour and comfort.

Amy’s glittering platforms weren’t just a one-off choice — the Jimmy Choo “Laurita” sandal has become a go-to for celebrities across premieres and award shows. Here are some of the most memorable ways it’s been styled:

Gal gushed over her co-star Amy, even going so far as to say Amy has “a special soul.”

Amy also expressed her appreciation for having Wonder Woman on the set. “I love it,” she told ET about the casting of Amber Heard as Mera in Justice League and Aquaman.

“I hope that we all get to work together at some point, because women, sometimes in these films, don’t get to actually be on set together at the same time.”

She said it was awesome to spend her downtime with Gal since she didn’t have too many women around when creating similar films.
