In January 2016, Chloë Grace Moretz was busy promoting her new movie, “The 5th Wave,” which was released in the United States on January 22, 2016, to generally unfavorable reviews.
The then-18-year-old actress, who stars as Ohio high schooler Cassie Sullivan, appeared on “Jimmy Kimmel Live” to talk about her American science-fiction action film.

During her appearance, Chloë also discussed her then-planned role in a live-action adaptation of The Little Mermaid.
Although she ultimately did not star in the project, she joked that she needed swimming lessons and to learn how to move in a mermaid tail, highlighting how excited she was about the opportunity at the time.

In April 2014, it was announced that Chloë would play the main protagonist, Cassiopeia “Cassie” Marie Sullivan, in the film adaptation of Rick Yancey’s The 5th Wave.
Principal photography began in Atlanta on October 18, 2014, when Chloë was 17 years old. Born on February 10, 1997, she celebrated her 18th birthday several months later while the film was still in post-production.

The actress completed the look with Christian Louboutin’s “J String” pumps, a sleek T-strap style that was a red-carpet favorite during the mid-2010s.
Defined by their pointed toes, low-cut vamp, slim ankle strap, and signature red soles, the patent-leather heels complemented the edgy mix of textures in her outfit while adding extra polish.

Originally retailing for around $900 to $1,000, the “J String” has since been discontinued and is no longer part of Christian Louboutin’s current collection.
However, the style remains popular on the luxury resale market, where pre-owned and new-old-stock pairs occasionally surface for collectors and fans of the silhouette.
