At the London photocall for Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness on April 26, 2022, Elizabeth Olsen continued the polished promotional style streak that defined the film’s global press tour.

While Benedict Cumberbatch kept things relaxed in sneakers and tailoring, Olsen leaned into sharp eveningwear with a crystal-embroidered Alexander McQueen look finished with minimalist Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals.

The Marvel sequel reunited Olsen with her Scarlet Witch role following the events of WandaVision, but the real fashion story of the press tour was how consistently she balanced dramatic designer pieces with pared-back footwear.

From black suede sandals in London to metallic versions of the same silhouette in Berlin, Olsen relied on streamlined heels to ground some of her most structured and embellished outfits.

Posing alongside the British actor, Elizabeth went the edgy-androgynous route in a two-piece Alexander McQueen outfit.

She wore a pair of black tuxedo peg trousers with a sleeveless embroidered jacket that you could buy for a whopping $10,900 price tag at Farfetch.

The cropped wool top came from Alexander McQueen’s Spring/Summer 2022 collection and paired sharp tailoring with the label’s signature crystal detailing. It had wide satin peak lapels, shoulder pads, and crystal chandelier embroidery.

Allowing her embellished top to do the talking, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen’s younger sister skipped the jewelry and simply paired her outfit with minimalist Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals in black suede.

She then let her natural beauty shine with minimal makeup, while hairstylist Daniel Martin gave the actress a sleek wet-look hairstyle.

A few days earlier, Benedict and Elizabeth attended the photocall for their upcoming movie in Berlin.

Benedict opted for a blue blazer, matching trousers, a white tee underneath, and a mustard-yellow printed scarf wrapped around his neck. He then rounded out his look with navy leather sneakers.

Not one to shy away from a bold fashion statement, the American actress wore a glossy pale blue co-ord set from Armani Privè’s Fall 2021 collection.

Made from shiny taffeta silk, the futuristic-looking ensemble included a pair of trousers with a beaded floral hem embellishment and a short-sleeved top with structured shoulders, a scalloped hem, dark blue crystal trim, and a plunging neckline with a crystal-embellished buckle at the front.

Underneath, the Martha Marcy May Marlene actress wore a cleavage-baring plunging top adorned with sparkling blue crystals.

She finished the glossy Armani Privé look with metallic Jimmy Choo “Minny” sandals, a barely-there silhouette that balanced the volume and shine of the crystal-trimmed co-ord set while subtly adding height to her elegant frame.

She also wore tiny blue drop earrings and completed her look with a center-parted bob hairstyle and soft pink makeup.
