Fresh from starring opposite Hugh Jackman in The Death of Robin Hood, Jodie Comer showcased two very different approaches to modern dressing during a busy week in New York City.
At the film’s Tribeca Festival premiere, she embraced romance and drama in a sheer black lace Givenchy gown paired with understated sandals.
Just a day earlier, she took a more streamlined approach for Live with Kelly & Mark, styling a structured Burberry leather coatdress with Christen’s architectural “Helix” sandals.

The contrasting looks continue a string of notable fashion moments for Comer. At the 2025 Fashion Awards, she paired Givenchy bow mules with a sleek black leather Givenchy ensemble. While promoting The Bikeriders in London, she stepped out in metallic gold Jimmy Choo Rosie sandals, worn with a custom Vivienne Westwood gown.
Standing 5ft 7¾ (172.1 cm) tall and wearing a US shoe size 10, Comer often gravitates toward footwear that enhances her proportions without overwhelming an outfit, whether through barely-there sandals, sculptural heels, or sleek pointed-toe styles.
Jodie Comer Commands Attention in Minimalist Heels and a Sheer Givenchy Dress
Jodie Comer made a striking entrance at the Tribeca Film Festival premiere of The Death of Robin Hood, opting for a dramatic black lace Givenchy gown paired with minimalist black heels that perfectly balanced boldness and elegance.
Comer kept her footwear simple, slipping into a pair of black satin sandals with a slim toe strap and a delicate ankle strap. The barely-there design was finished with slender stiletto heels that added height and elegance. Her understated sandals were the perfect choice, allowing her dramatic Givenchy gown to remain the focal point.

Comer put her own spin on the naked-dress trend in a sheer black Givenchy gown, decorated with delicate floral embroidery and scattered sequins that added subtle sparkle as she moved. The see-through lace revealed her black underwear beneath, making the gown even more daring, while the open back added extra drama.
It also had a high neck and long sleeves, lending the look a polished feel, while the fitted bodice and hip-hugging shape beautifully showcased her figure. Finishing the gown with an elegant touch was a short train that flowed behind her as she walked.
Accessories were kept understated, wearing just a single ring and carrying a sleek black box clutch, allowing the gown’s dramatic details to take center stage. Comer wore her blonde hair down in soft waves, and her makeup emphasized her natural glow with peachy-pink tones that enhanced her features.

Jodie Comer Keeps It Sleek in Christen Helix Sandals and Burberry Coat Dress
The day before the Tribeca premiere, Jodie Comer brought sleek, modern energy to Live with Kelly & Mark in an all-black leather ensemble that was both bold and polished.
She grounded the look with Christen’s “Helix” sandals, a design that has also attracted attention on the red carpet, including when Alexa Chung wore the same style in ivory-beige to the 2025 Fashion Awards.
Crafted from Venezia lambskin leather, the sandals combine minimalist lines with subtle hardware details, featuring a thong-style front strap and crisscrossing ankle straps secured with adjustable D-rings.
The design is set on 3.7-inch lacquered stiletto heels with slightly flared bases, giving the silhouette an architectural quality that feels modern without sacrificing versatility. Paired with Comer’s structured Burberry coatdress, the sandals added a directional edge while maintaining the clean, streamlined aesthetic of the outfit.

Comer paired the statement sandals with a long black coatdress from Burberry’s Fall 2026 collection. It featured dropped shoulders with epaulets, angled flap pockets with button details, and a self-tie belt that pulled in the waist and highlighted her figure. The leather finish gave the classic tailoring a tougher edge while still looking sleek and wearable.
She kept her accessories minimal, wearing a pair of Briony Raymond diamond stud earrings and sleek sunglasses that enhanced the modern vibe. A black Alaïa Le Teckel bag completed her ensemble.

How Black Sandals Became 2026’s Most Versatile Shoe Trend
While Jodie Comer’s Givenchy and Burberry looks occupied opposite ends of the style spectrum, both relied on one of fashion’s most enduring footwear staples: the black sandal.
From minimalist thong styles that practically disappear beneath an evening gown to architectural heels that become part of an outfit’s design language, black sandals continue to prove their versatility across red carpets, press tours, and awards-season appearances.
Comer’s latest looks fit neatly into a broader celebrity trend. Recent examples include Katie Holmes’ minimalist Herbert Levine thong sandals, Emma Stone’s understated The Row sandals and Jenna Ortega’s black Jimmy Choo heels, and Anne Hathaway’s black satin Roger Vivier sandals at the Met Gala.
Together, these appearances highlight a continuing shift toward clean-lined footwear that complements a look rather than competing with it.
