Jennifer Connelly has long balanced risk-taking fashion with refined elegance, making her a fixture of red carpets for decades. In 2016, she leaned into her close relationship with Louis Vuitton, boldly styling lug-soled combat boots with sequined gowns—a divisive choice that reinforced her loyalty to the French maison. Her Louis Vuitton boots became such a staple that season, they seemed to anchor nearly every look.
That same year, as she stepped into a dramatic role in American Pastoral, Connelly brought the same daring spirit to the Toronto International Film Festival.

Trading in boots for sleek ankle-strap sandals, she showcased a leather Louis Vuitton gown from the Fall 2016 collection, embellished with sequins, beads, and shell accents.

The tribal-inspired detailing was striking, even if the overall look divided critics, further proving her willingness to push boundaries on—and off—the screen.
