Back in August 2013, a low-key gathering in Brentwood quietly drew several stylish A-listers—and their footwear did most of the talking. Among the attendees was Ginnifer Goodwin, who arrived wearing Charlotte Olympia Bisoux lip-detailed loafers, setting the tone for an afternoon filled with understated yet chic shoe choices.
Joining her were Jennifer Garner, a glowing Michelle Monaghan, Kaley Cuoco, and Christina Hendricks—each bringing their own take on effortless warm-weather dressing. While the outfits ranged from casual denim to breezy printed dresses and bold belted frocks, the real standout was how each celebrity styled their footwear.
Below, we break down every look from the event and take a closer look at the sandals and pumps that anchored their off-duty summer style.
