She chose a white Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2014 sheath dress whose architectural cutout neckline created visual impact without overwhelming the silhouette.

The look was grounded by strapped Pollini heels, a choice that quietly reinforced the outfit’s polish. Founded in 1953 in San Mauro Pascoli—Italy’s historic footwear district—Pollini is known for blending traditional Made-in-Italy craftsmanship with modern, often playful design.

Here, the heels provided height, balance, and technical refinement, while a gold metallic Reese Hudson clutch added contrast and warmth.

Together, the styling underscored a timeless red-carpet principle: when the dress commands attention, the shoes provide structure and clarity.
