At the Los Angeles premiere of the romantic fantasy film Upside Down on March 12, 2013, the red carpet at ArcLight Hollywood transformed into a masterclass in monochrome styling.

The evening’s unofficial dress code was the “little black dress,” providing a neutral canvas that allowed the stars to showcase experimental silhouettes and high-fashion footwear.

Leading the arrivals, Kirsten Dunst set the tone in a wool-crepe Proenza Schouler Fall 2013 ensemble. While her asymmetrical dress featured a striking leather-cinched waist, it was her choice of striking bi-color footwear that anchored the avant-garde look. From textured minis to metallic layers, here is a look back at the standout styles from the Hollywood screening.

The American actress looked glamorous in a black wool-crepe sleeveless dress from the Proenza Schouler Fall 2013 collection, styled with bi-color pumps from the same brand.

The sleek, pointed silhouette echoed the label’s signature modern minimalism—a style also embraced by Elizabeth Olsen, who paired a Proenza Schouler dress with sharp black pumps, while Jessica Alba experimented with sculptural Proenza Schouler heels.

The brand’s architectural footwear has also appeared on fashion-forward celebrities such as Chloë Sevigny in lace-up Proenza Schouler ankle booties and Bella Hadid during Cannes in statement Proenza Schouler heels, reinforcing its reputation for bold yet refined red-carpet footwear.

She accessorized with Dior jewels and finished her look with a Stella McCartney clutch.
