Back in May 2015, Anna Kendrick stepped out for a Pitch Perfect 2 (“Dando la nota: Aún más alto”) photocall at Madrid’s Villamagna Hotel, offering a sleek and modern take on mid-2010s red-carpet style.

A Structured Shift: Anna Kendrick’s Architectural Narciso Rodriguez Moment
Then 29 years old, the actress and singer chose a monochrome dress from the Narciso Rodriguez Fall 2015 collection, featuring the designer’s signature architectural lines, asymmetric bodice work, and clean, minimalist palette.
While the structured silhouette was more experimental than her usual flirty, playful red-carpet choices, it highlighted the polished, sculptural direction many stars were embracing at the time.
The previous month, Kim Kardashian wore an outfit from Narciso Rodriguez’s Fall 2015 collection, paired with a custom Olympia Le-Tan clutch and Giamba platform sandals.

Stuart Weitzman’s “Nudist” Sandals: Anna’s Minimalist Finish to a Structured Look
She finished the look with Melissa Kaye and Effy rings, keeping the jewelry understated to match the dress’s sharp tailoring. For footwear, Anna turned to a perennial celebrity favorite: the Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals, a single-band heel known for its leg-elongating effect and nearly invisible straps — a defining shoe of the 2010s red-carpet era.
We have previously spotted the same sandals on Jennifer Lopez, Jamie Chung, Zendaya, Alison Brie, Jennifer Aniston, Chrissy Teigen, Kiernan Shipka, Juliette Lewis, January Jones, Solange Knowles, Ariana Grande, Olivia Wilde, AnnaSophia Robb, Vanessa Hudgens, Bella Thorne, Sophia Bush, Jordin Sparks, Rita Ora, Lucy Hale, Chloë Grace Moretz, Kendall Jenner, LeAnn Rimes, Blake Lively, Megan Fox, Sarah Hyland, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Lady Gaga, and many more.
