As a nod to her role as a L’Oreal ambassador, Helen carried a black fan with the cheeky white inscription “#WorthIt,” taken from the brand’s empowering tagline. This whimsical addition added a campy flair to her already stunning appearance.

Although her shoes were concealed beneath the gown’s long hem, the Trumbo star opted for Sole Bliss metallic silver platform sandals. The platform soles and thick straps provided comfort and style, while the shiny and textured uppers added a touch of glamour.

She enjoyed a significant height boost with an estimated 5 to 6-inch block heels, completing her red carpet ensemble.
