While promoting Bad Moms and its sequel between 2016 and 2017, Mila Kunis wore a surprisingly varied lineup of footwear, from practical block-heel sandals during her pregnancy to metallic evening sandals and classic pointed-toe pumps.
Across premieres, screenings, and promotional appearances in New York, Las Vegas, and Los Angeles, her shoe choices reflected the different demands of each event while remaining consistent with her understated personal style.

The American actress posed with Melissa Musen Gerstein and Denise Albert, the founders of The Moms, and her “Bad Moms” co-star Kathryn Hahn on the red carpet. However, there was the notable absence of Christina Applegate and Kristen Bell.

Instead of building the look around her pregnancy, she opted for understated pieces that prioritized comfort while maintaining a polished red-carpet appearance.

Her black Sea New York jumpsuit featured soft pleating at the waist and a loose silhouette, while her footwear choice—a pair of chunky-heeled Sarah Flint “Tara” sandals—added stability and practicality without sacrificing style.

Just two months earlier, Kunis took a very different approach while promoting the film alongside her co-stars at a major music awards show.
Mila Kunis Added Sparkle With Neil J. Rodgers “Stella” Sandals at the Billboard Music Awards
At the 2016 Billboard Music Awards in Las Vegas on May 22, Mila Kunis joined Kristen Bell and Kathryn Hahn to promote Bad Moms.

While Bell opted for a black-and-blue Jonathan Simkhai jumpsuit with Brian Atwood heels and Hahn chose a sequined Altuzarra mini dress paired with black sandals, Kunis took the most embellished route in a crystal-covered Zuhair Murad Couture mini dress.

She completed the look with Anita Ko jewelry, a Tyler Alexandra clutch, and metallic silver Neil J. Rodgers “Stella” sandals that echoed the sparkle of her dress.

While Mila Kunis’ crystal-covered Zuhair Murad Couture dress drew most of the attention at the 2016 Billboard Music Awards, her Neil J. Rodgers “Stella” sandals played an important supporting role.
The metallic design echoed the dress’s embellishments without competing for attention, illustrating how a well-chosen sandal can reinforce a look’s overall texture and finish.

Other celebrities have used the same style to similar effect, including Heidi Klum in sparkling Neil J. Rodgers “Stella” sandals at the amfAR Gala, Lupita Nyong’o in silver “Stella” sandals at the Queen of Katwe premiere, and Jenna Dewan’s embellished evening look featuring the same silhouette.

By the time the sequel arrived the following year, Kunis had returned to a cleaner, more minimalist approach.
Mila Kunis Finished Her Premiere Look With Christian Louboutin “So Kate” Pumps
For the premiere of A Bad Moms Christmas in Westwood, California, Mila Kunis chose a fitted black Cushnie et Ochs dress featuring cutout details and a thigh-high slit.
Rather than competing with the dress, she grounded the look with Christian Louboutin’s iconic “So Kate” pumps, a red-carpet staple known for their sharply pointed toe and sleek silhouette.

Taken together, the three appearances highlight the versatility of Kunis’ promotional style. Whether wearing supportive Sarah Flint sandals during pregnancy, metallic Neil J. Rodgers heels on the awards-show circuit, or classic Christian Louboutin pumps at a Hollywood premiere, her footwear choices consistently balanced practicality with polish.
