Elisabeth Röhm (5’8″, US 8): Sam Edelman “Trent” Capped-Toe Flats
We love that Elisabeth Röhm, aka Serena Southerlyn from Law & Order, wore a stylish pair of Sam Edelman flats and a black dress to the event.

Since she was with her young kids, it made sense for her to be comfortable running after them easily.

Her flats were Sam Edelman’s “Trent” white capped-toe style — a practical choice that offered comfort but did little to elongate Elisabeth Röhm’s 5’8″ (172.7 cm) frame. While this pair is sold out, you can still shop similar Sam Edelman flats at Zappos.

Alli Simpson (5’4″, US 8): Printed White Pumps With Curved Heels
Popstar Cody Simpson, whose song “La Da Dee” is featured in the animated movie, brought his little sister, Alli, as his date (isn’t that sweet).
