Anna Kendrick looked stunning as she hit the Good Morning America studios in her retro-inspired look to discuss her new movie, Another Simple Favor. She wore a chic, apron-style mini dress that exuded a sense of nostalgia. The cherry on top was her choice of footwear, which balanced chic with a touch of retro charm.
Unfortunately, Lively had to skip the press tour, but at least Kendrick had a chance to shine in her retro ensemble.

Disco-Ready in Malone Souliers Mora Pumps
As Anna Kendrick strutted her stuff into the studio, I couldn’t help but notice her killer footwear. She looked every bit the disco diva in the towering platform pumps by Malone Souliers, a London-based label renowned for its whimsical, unapologetically feminine aesthetic. Anna’s shoes certainly lived up to that reputation.
The best part is that she wore the “Mora” pumps crafted of rosewood velvet. The lush material is luxurious, and the color is vibrant and bold. Although originally designed for autumn and winter, Anna effortlessly showed that they remain fashionable and appropriate for springtime wear.

The pumps have open sides that draw attention to the foot’s contour, closed almond toes, a buckled ankle strap, and a strap across the top for added dimension.
These Malone Souliers certainly pack a powerful punch while staying comfortable! The 4.9-inch block heel and 1-inch platform make for a stable and comfortable base that Anna’s petite 5’1” frame can easily sport.
Previous Appearances in Malone Souliers
Anna Kendrick has showcased her affinity for Malone Souliers on multiple occasions:
- Late Show with Stephen Colbert: She wore metallic silver Malone Souliers “Yuna” sandals, featuring delicate crossover straps and a 3.5-inch heel, perfectly complementing her retro yellow mini dress.
- The Drew Barrymore Show: Anna paired her burgundy velvet La DoubleJ mini dress with rosewood Malone Souliers “Mora” platform pumps, adding a disco-ready charm to her ensemble.
Exuding Retro Charm in Markarian Mini Dress
I love how Anna paired her Malone Souliers pumps with a matching mini dress from Markarian. Although the New York-based womenswear brand is well-known for its exquisite bridal gowns, its ready-to-wear collection is just as impressive. It features whimsical and romantic designs with sophisticated detailing and quality fabric, and Anna’s mini dress is no exception.
Her dark red velvet pumps complemented her dress, creating an effortlessly chic head-to-toe red look.
In her Fall 2025 Markarian “Grace” dress, Anna looked like a retro dream. It features a metallic rose tweed fabric, showcasing a geometric pattern straight out of vintage vibes. I particularly like the burgundy velvet trimming, as it adds a touch of luxury and creates a stunning color contrast.

I love the creative design elements of the dress, especially the clever way the buttoned front was disguised by using the same burgundy velvet fabric that trims the rest of the dress. The A-line silhouette looks perfect on Anna; it fits snugly at the bodice and flares slightly at the skirt, adding a style reminiscent of the vintage era.
Complementary Rose-Gold Accessories
Anna’s love of pink and red didn’t stop at her dress. Her choice of rose gold accessories was a masterclass in effortless chic. The combination was done tastefully, creating an overall aesthetic that was neither monotonous nor over-the-top.
Anna fashioned her hair in gorgeous waves cascading around her shoulders. Her makeup was kept simple in soft pink, and her eyes were hidden behind a pair of Prada sunglasses with a rose gold acetate frame.

She wore multiple rose gold Anita Ko earrings, including the Huggies with 0.14ct. pave diamonds and three 1.16ct. diamond pear drops, the Classic Round Diamond Orbit Earring, the Classic Pear Diamond Orbit Earring, and the Classic Pink Sapphire Orbit Earring.
Anna wore a bangle and a few rings, including the Anita Ko Three Stone Claw Diamond Ring with Pave Band. Her Brandon Blackwood “Mini Kobi” bag, made of dark brown oiled leather with brass hardware, completed her cohesive look.
Ethereal in Cream Zuhair Murad Crop Top and Trousers
Her latest outing came on the heels of the New York screening of Another Simple Favor, where she looked ethereal in a cream crop top and wide-leg trousers from Zuhair Murad’s Spring/Summer 2025 Ready-to-Wear collection.
While her outfit was somewhat understated compared to her co-star, Blake Lively, Kendrick’s fresh and effortless elegance captured my attention.
She looked classy in her cropped bralette, which had a delicate embellishment of shells, pearls, and crystals at the square neckline. Paired with fluid, loose-fitting trousers and stunning beach waves, her look exuded an effortless yet stylish vibe, almost like she had stepped off the beach and into an upscale summer beach party.

Anna decided to keep her neck bare and instead accessorize the look with rings from L’Atelier Nawbar, including the Artemis Green Topaz Cabochon with White Mother of Pearl Moon Ring and the Break Ring in White.

Anna’s shoe choice wasn’t highlighted in the ensemble, but if I were her, I would choose some dazzling gold or stylish white heels. Those would have been the perfect finishing touch to her outfit!
