At the premiere of LD Entertainment’s Black Rock at ArcLight Hollywood in Los Angeles on May 8, 2013, the film’s cast delivered a surprisingly varied lineup of heels — from metallic pointed pumps to sculptural statement sandals and classic black stilettos.
💫 Jump to a Look:
Kate Bosworth leaned into sharp silver pumps, Katie Aselton opted for architectural Nicholas Kirkwood sandals, and Lake Bell grounded her floral mini dress with sleek black Stuart Weitzman pumps.
Instead of treating the shoes as afterthoughts, each look used footwear to shape the outfit’s mood — polished, playful, or slightly directional — without feeling overstyled.
1. Metallic Glamour: Kate Bosworth Sharpens a Miu Miu Dress With Silver Prada Pumps
Kate Bosworth wore a Miu Miu Fall 2013 dress featuring a white-and-silver embellished bodice and a pearl-grey satin skirt, styled with silver metallic Prada pumps that sharpened the otherwise soft palette.

A blue python Prada clutch and a bright orange-red lip kept the look from feeling overly delicate.
Metallic pointed pumps were everywhere in the early 2010s, but Bosworth’s Prada pair stood out for their razor-sharp silhouette and mirror-like finish, which played especially well against the cool metallic embroidery of her Miu Miu dress.

2. Architectural Edge: Katie Aselton Stands Out in Nicholas Kirkwood Sandals
Katie Aselton, who both starred in and directed Black Rock, wore a Wes Gordon Spring 2013 look that balanced toughness and softness: a black leather wrap skirt paired with a delicate embroidered chiffon top.

The real focal point, though, was her footwear: Nicholas Kirkwood’s geometric laser-cut sandals, designed with the label’s signature architectural heel and bold black-and-white contrast.

3. Pop of Magenta: Melanie Lynskey Brightens Her Look With Saint Laurent Mary Janes
Melanie Lynskey took a more relaxed approach to the premiere in a flowing coral-red dress layered under a cropped black jacket, using magenta Saint Laurent Tribute Mary Jane pumps to bring sharper structure and saturated color to the look.

The Hedi Slimane-era design combined a concealed platform with a sharply tapered heel, giving the classic Mary Jane silhouette a more dramatic, fashion-forward finish.

4. Floral Minimalism: Lake Bell Styles Stuart Weitzman “Anouk” Pumps With Lyn Devon Lace
The American actress leaned into a polished yet unfussy red-carpet look centered on sharp black pumps and a vibrant floral mini dress.

Instead of heavy jewelry, she kept the styling minimal and carried a glitter-flecked Edie Parker clutch that added texture and contrast without overpowering the outfit.

Bell finished the look with an Edie Parker “Flavia” clutch in gold-and-black lacquered confetti — a style that captured the glossy, vintage-inspired glamour dominating red carpets in the early 2010s.

Despite the film’s gritty survival-thriller premise, the cast leaned into polished, directional accessories on the red carpet — from Bosworth’s metallic Prada pumps to Katie Aselton’s architectural Kirkwood sandals. The result felt sharp and modern rather than overtly glamorous, with the shoes doing much of the styling work.
