At the 2020 NBC Winter Press Tour in Pasadena, California, Manifest star Melissa Roxburgh arrived at The Langham Huntington in a look that balanced classic tailoring with modern textures.
Standing 5ft 5 (165.1 cm), the Canadian actress—widely recognized for her roles as Michaela Stone in Manifest and Thea in Valor—often utilizes sharp footwear silhouettes to elongate her frame.
For this appearance, Roxburgh joined co-stars Matt Long, Josh Dallas, and Luna Blaise.

She paired her ensemble with Carolyne pumps by Giuseppe Zanotti. Known for wearing a size 6 shoe, the actress opted for a design that highlights the Italian label’s focus on architecture and material contrast.
