With the second season of The Agency arriving on Paramount+ on June 21, Jodie Turner-Smith has been busy on the press circuit for the spy thriller series, where she plays Dr. Samia Fatima “Sami” Zahir, a Sudanese anthropology professor and Martian’s (Michael Fassbender) love interest.

The actress has developed a reputation for making footwear the focal point of her outfits, whether stepping out in Burberry’s dramatic Cavalier thigh-high boots, embracing fashion’s playful side in Schiaparelli’s measuring-tape heels, or taking a more casual approach with Burberry Check Terrace sneakers.

For her latest appearances at The View, Turner-Smith embraced polished power dressing in Marc Jacobs and The New Arrivals ensembles, pairing both looks with elegant Le Silla pumps that delivered a sophisticated finish while keeping the spotlight firmly on her footwear.
Jodie Turner-Smith Brings Modern Power Dressing in Blue Le Silla Pumps and Marc Jacobs Plaid Suit
She grounded the look with Le Silla’s “Vivienne” pumps in a vivid cobalt-blue patent finish, introducing a bold burst of color against the muted gray-and-brown plaid tailoring. The sharply pointed toes and signature V-cut vamps were particularly effective, creating an elongating effect that visually extends the leg line by revealing more of the foot and drawing the eye upward. It’s a design detail frequently used to make pumps appear lighter, sleeker, and more elegant.
The choice also felt consistent with Turner-Smith’s recent evolution in style. Earlier this year, she paired a cobalt Marc Jacobs dress with crisp white Le Silla pumps at the Costume Designers Guild Awards, demonstrating her preference for using sharply pointed pumps to bring structure and contrast to bold, color-driven looks.
Set on slender 4-inch stiletto heels, the Vivienne pumps balanced the menswear-inspired tailoring with a dose of feminine polish. The glossy patent finish amplified their impact, transforming the shoes from a supporting accessory into the focal point of the ensemble.

Jodie paired the statement pumps with a tailored plaid pantsuit from Marc Jacobs’ Spring 2026 collection. Done in textured tweed in gray and brown, the suit had a classic menswear feel with a modern, polished finish.
It included a double-breasted blazer with a deep V-neckline, sharp lapels, and flap pockets, creating a strong, structured silhouette, while the matching slim straight-leg trousers kept the look streamlined and effortlessly highlighted her statuesque frame.
For accessories, Turner-Smith wore hoop earrings, rings, and a delicate necklace, then added a bold red scarf. While I thought the scarf competed a bit with the rest of the outfit, it did emphasize the look’s bold, fashion-forward style.
Her voluminous curls framed her face beautifully, while rosy-toned makeup complemented her radiant complexion. She finished off the look with red-tinted sunglasses, adding a cool, retro-inspired touch.

Red-Hot Tailoring: White Pumps and The New Arrivals Croc-Embossed Suit
Arriving at the studio, Jodie Turner-Smith brought a bold, playful energy in a vibrant red ensemble that was impossible to miss. She paired the look with classic white pumps featuring pointed toes and V-shaped vamps that kept the look sleek and polished, set on slim stiletto heels for a classic finish.
The simple white pumps created a clean contrast against the bright red suit, helping soften the bold color while keeping the overall look sharp.

Jodie’s statement-making outfit came from The New Arrivals’ croc-embossed lamb leather “Maya” skirt suit. It featured a tailored jacket with a rich croc-embossed texture that immediately drew my eye.
The darted waist and fitted seams helped define her figure, while the chest pocket, flap pockets, and padded shoulders gave the design a sharp, structured feel. I loved the jacket’s longline silhouette, which elongated her frame and gave the look a sleek, polished finish.
Below, Turner-Smith wore the matching pencil skirt in the same red croc-embossed leather. Falling just above the knees, the skirt hugged her figure beautifully, completing the suit’s sleek, tailored look.
The British actress finished off the look with oversized sunglasses, multiple rings, and her voluminous, natural hair, which gave the ensemble a playful yet retro finish.

Turner-Smith’s red croc-embossed suit and white pumps highlighted a color combination that fashion repeatedly returns to: the striking contrast of vibrant red paired with crisp white footwear.
The formula creates visual balance, allowing bold tailoring to command attention while white shoes provide a clean, polished counterpoint. From Rachel Brosnahan’s white Jude pumps and red Patou mini dress to Olivia Palermo’s red layered ensemble with ivory-white loafers, the pairing continues to prove its versatility across both formal and daytime dressing.
More contemporary interpretations, including Tessa Thompson’s ivory Jude “Haze” pumps and Turner-Smith’s own white Le Silla pumps at the Costume Designers Guild Awards, demonstrate how light-colored footwear can sharpen bold, color-driven looks without competing for attention. In this case, the white pointed-toe pumps softened the intensity of the textured red leather while reinforcing the sleek, architectural quality that defined the entire outfit.
