Superhero Chic: Brie Larson Stuns in Celestial Cape & Metallic Heels at Avengers Campus Opening

On July 9, 2022, Brie Larson made a true superhero landing at the opening of the Marvel Avengers Campus at Disneyland Paris, turning the red carpet into her own runway with a custom cape and chiseled abs on display.

Attending the launch of the new Avengers Assemble: Flight Force rollercoaster—Disneyland Paris’ high-octane replacement for Rock ’n’ Roller Coaster Starring Aerosmith—the 32-year-old actress balanced blockbuster star power with thoughtful messaging.

In a short speech, Brie reflected on the importance of representation and the impact of storytelling, sharing how stepping into the Marvel Cinematic Universe as Captain Marvel allowed her to embody a character whose strength and values resonate worldwide.

She noted that actors rarely see that impact firsthand, but that Avengers Campus changes that dynamic by bringing the stories and characters to life, allowing fans to interact with them every day—one of the reasons she called the new experience “special and significant.”

Ever the on-brand superhero, she also hyped up the attraction itself, naming Flight Force her favorite ride at the campus and rallying fans with a promise that she could count on them to help Iron Man and Captain Marvel complete their mission—signing off with her signature line: “Higher, further, faster, baby.”

Celestial Cape Moment: Oscar de la Renta Look & Metallic Heels

The Academy Award winner dressed up for the occasion, looking like the most incredible superhero in her sequined cape.

This custom piece from Oscar de la Renta featured a hand-embroidered celestial sequin design that took 400 hours to make. It also had a floor-sweeping hem, adding a dramatic effect to her look.

Brie wore it over a Fall 2022 sleeveless crop top that flaunted her washboard abs. It came in a shimmering gold color with sequin embroidery and a feathered trim.

The Room actress paired it with high-waisted black wool pants from the same Fall 2022 collection. It featured a wide-leg silhouette and a long hem that barely revealed her heels.

She finished off her look with tousled blonde waves, minimal makeup, and jewelry from Djula and Graziela Gems.

The Power of Metallic Heels: Red Carpet Shine, Luxury & Effortless Versatility

Metallic heels — whether in silver, gold, or bronze tones — remain a go-to choice for celebrities because they deliver instant shine and elevate any outfit from chic to show-stopping.

Their luminous finish catches the light beautifully, creating subtle movement and red-carpet glamour that photographs exceptionally well.

As seen on stars throughout our coverage — from Emma Stone’s little black dress and metallic Jimmy Choo pumps to Brie Larson’s metallic Chanel look with Christian Louboutin heels at the Met Gala — metallic shoes act as elevated neutrals that complement everything from couture gowns to tailored power looks.

For celebrities, the appeal extends beyond pure aesthetics: metallic heels inherently signal luxury, confidence, and a polished, camera-ready finish. They consistently appear in high-impact moments across our archives — including Gal Gadot’s shimmering silver Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals and Tessa Thompson’s silver Rodarte gown and space-inspired metallic heels — proving how these reflective styles instantly dress up any ensemble.

Given the dramatic, couture-level outfit Brie wore — a hand-embroidered celestial cape, a gold crop top, and tailored trousers — pairing it with metallic heels was a strategic styling move. The shimmering shoes echo the cosmic sparkle of her Oscar de la Renta cape while elongating her silhouette, striking the perfect balance between superhero drama and red-carpet sophistication.

Post-Ceremony Outfit Change: Sneakers & Dark-Green HVN Dress

After the ceremony, Brie ditched the cape and slipped into a much more comfortable outfit to explore the Avengers Campus. She wore sneakers and a dark green collared dress from HVN with a crystal belt.

On Instagram, the Nissan spokeswoman expressed her excitement and gratitude for the new Captain Marvel ride at a place that brought her so much joy as a kid. She thanked everyone from the Oscar de la Renta team to her mom for her encouragement.

In the caption, she also wrote: “Thank you to the imagineers and all the cast members creating magic every day.” She ended her note by thanking Marvel “for choosing me to be your Captain Marvel. It has been the ride of a lifetime.”

Last month, Brie shared a snap on Instagram of her Zoom call with Iman. In the caption, she wrote: “From our first Zoom, I knew she’d be the best Marvel.”

Both superheroes are set to star in The Marvels, an upcoming film scheduled for release next year.

Meanwhile, Pom Klementieff stepped out in a blazer dress that showed off her legs. She also wore statement jewelry and glossy patent leather ankle boots.

The 36-year-old actress plays Mantis in Guardians of the Galaxy. She reprises her role in the fourth installment of the Thor films, starring alongside Tessa Thompson and Natalie Portman.
