In September 2014, Anna Kendrick looked fabulous on the red carpet at the ‘Cake’ premiere during the 2014 Toronto International Film Festival at The Elgin in Toronto, Canada.
Her co-stars Jennifer Aniston, who wore a black wool pleated skirt from Emanuel Ungaro paired with a Valentino top, and Sam Worthington joined her on stage before the event.
Anna Kendrick paired her J. Mendel blush floral dress with Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps in nude, an Edie Parker Minnie clutch, and EF Collection diamond white topaz stud earrings
The then-29-year-old actress wore a blush-colored, multicolored high-V-neck, sleeveless dress from the J. Mendel Spring 2014 collection.
Anna carried a “Minnie” white pearl clutch by Edie Parker and accessorized it with jewelry from the EF Collection. She completed her look with a pair of nude patent leather Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps—iconic heels known for their sleek, sultry silhouette and signature red-lacquered soles.
Introduced in 2013 as a more dramatic evolution of the original Kate pump (named after Kate Moss), the So Kate features a soaring 120mm stiletto, pointed toe, low-cut vamp, and plunging décolleté that accentuates the foot’s arch and creates an effortlessly leg-lengthening effect.

Do you think she should have styled the dress with a pair of pumps in a different color? Jennifer Aniston wore the same black pumps to the same event, and we’ve previously spotted Christian Louboutin’s So Kate on numerous other celebrities.
As a petite celebrity standing at 5ft 1 (154.9 cm), Anna Kendrick showcased the power of nude heels. Nude or skin-colored shoes are a go-to styling trick for creating the illusion of longer legs, as they blend seamlessly with the wearer’s skin tone, drawing attention upward and elongating the overall silhouette.
