During a busy week of press appearances in New York City in July 2021, Kate Beckinsale stepped out in a series of carefully styled looks while promoting the action-comedy Jolt.

Rather than sticking to a single formula, she rotated between sporty separates, sculptural dresses, and floral prints, using footwear to give each outfit its own personality.

From crisp white pumps paired with joggers to metallic platform sandals and colorful designer heels, Beckinsale’s shoe choices helped define each appearance. One of the most memorable looks came as she left The Ritz-Carlton Hotel, where she mixed athletic-inspired pieces with sharp white pointed-toe pumps.

The actress, who celebrated her 48th birthday that same month, proved that age is just a number as she put her flat abs on display in a black bandeau top paired with striped drawstring jogger pants.

Giving her sporty ensemble a touch of business edge, Kate layered an oversized, structured black blazer over her rather revealing top.

To further jazz up her look, Kate accessorized with large gold hoop earrings, a statement gold ring, and layers of gold necklaces.

With her wavy blonde locks tied into a high ponytail, Kate highlighted her natural beauty with light makeup featuring a hint of blush and a nude pink lip gloss.

She then hid her eyes behind a pair of For Art’s Sake “Castle” oversized square-framed sunglasses, retailing for $259.

2. After-Fallon Glamour: Gold Alexandre Birman Platform Sandals Bring Shine to Her White Solace London Dress

She slipped her slim figure into the “Raina” off-the-shoulder midi-style dress from minimalist women’s label, Solace London. It’s tailored from ivory crepe fabric for a figure-skimming fit and features a boned bodice, a pencil skirt, and a dramatic twill ruffle detail.

Arriving back at her hotel, Kate pulled one shoulder up, creating a sultry look. She kept her neck bare, accessorizing with just a pair of $5,995 Walters Faith Saxon 18k rose gold and diamond single chain-link earrings.

Allowing her dress to take center stage, the actress pulled her tresses back into a curled ponytail. She then wore simple makeup with pink lip gloss and shielded her eyes behind the Prive Revaux “Ocean Drive” sunglasses.

To complete the look, Kate paired her show-stopping white dress with Alexandre Birman’s “Lenny” gold sandals.

These sold-out, towering sandals come in metallic gold and feature slender ankle straps, square toes, 1.2-inch platforms, and about 4.3-inch, sky-high heels.

3. All-Black Power Dressing: Jimmy Choo Holly Sandals Add Height to Satin Trousers and a Bandeau Top

Earlier in the day, Kate once again flaunted her incredible body in a black sweetheart-neckline bandeau top, which she paired with high-waisted satin pants.

Leaving her NYC hotel, the mom-of-one turned heads in an ab-baring all-black ensemble, finished with satin platform stiletto heels from Jimmy Choo.

The “Holly” sandals have thick ankle and front straps set atop a 1-inch platform and a 5-inch block heel.

At the 2016 Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards, Sarah Hyland made waves on the orange carpet in a blush Tommy Hilfiger bomber and shorts set, finishing the sporty look with gray suede Jimmy Choo “Holly” platform sandals.

4. Floral and Feminine: Pink Christian Louboutin Pumps Match Her Monique Lhuillier Dress

After her appearance on Live with Kelly and Ryan, Kate Beckinsale returned to her New York City hotel in a romantic floral look that balanced Old Hollywood glamour with her signature modern edge.

Michael Sheen’s ex opted for a black midi dress with feminine floral prints from Monique Lhuillier. Showing off her toned shoulders and ample cleavage, the frock features an off-the-shoulder style with ruffled puffy sleeves and a flattering fitted silhouette.

Letting her enviable assets and beautiful dress do the talking, Kate opted for minimal accessories, wearing just a pair of stud earrings and her For Art’s Sake sunnies.

She then wore her signature curled ponytail and stayed safe with a black face mask.

Adding extra inches to her 5’7” height, Kate slipped into a pair of pink patent Christian Louboutin pumps, which perfectly matched her girly frock.

Why Kate Beckinsale’s Jolt Press-Tour Shoes Still Stand Out

Across her Jolt press appearances, Kate Beckinsale treated footwear as more than a finishing touch.

The sharp white pumps made joggers look polished, the gold Alexandre Birman platforms amplified the sculptural white dress, the black Jimmy Choo sandals added height to her satin separates, and the pink Christian Louboutin pumps pulled the floral Monique Lhuillier look together with a playful flash of color.
