When it comes to mastering high-shine evening wear, Hailee Steinfeld’s appearance at the Michael Kors Gold Collection launch remains a masterclass in metallic styling.
On September 13, 2015, at Top of The Standard in New York City, the Begin Again star proved that mixing precious metal tones is a timeless strategy for the red carpet.
While she was joined by stars like Camilla Belle and Nina Agdal, Steinfeld’s choice of footwear—the Michael Kors “Jacqueline” sandal—stole the spotlight by balancing a bold, sequined mini dress with a refined silhouette.

Her glittering thigh-skimming dress featured a halter neck design with sequined panels in varying shades of gold, silver, and bronze.
The American actress, model, and singer grounded her high-shine sequined mini in a pair of metallic “Jacqueline” sandals from Michael Kors Collection—the brand’s luxury runway line.
With its barely-there silhouette, featuring a slim toe strap, delicate ankle buckle, and a leg-lengthening 4-inch stiletto heel, the Jacqueline is designed to complement rather than compete.
On Your Next Shoes, Hailee‘s long-standing affinity with the Kors aesthetic extends beyond her metallic “Jacqueline” sandals — she was previously featured wearing crystal-embellished Michael Kors platform clogs as part of a head-to-toe Michael Kors look at the Michael Kors Young Hollywood portrait book celebration in Beverly Hills, pairing the playful clogs with a lace dress from the brand’s Resort 2015 collection

Rendered here in metallic leather, the minimalist sandal echoed the dress’s mixed-metal shimmer while maintaining a refined, ladylike elegance. A longtime staple in the Michael Kors lineup, the style’s stripped-back structure makes it a red-carpet favorite—polished, versatile, and unapologetically event-ready.
At the 2016 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, Ashley Benson also opted to wear metallic silver Michael Kors “Jacqueline” sandals with a metallic mini dress.
