Rashida Jones has long mastered the art of cerebral chic, but even style icons have their experimental days.
A prime example occurred on April 21, 2016, at the Annenberg Space for Photography in Century City, California, where Jones joined fellow stars such as Amy Adams and Tracee Ellis Ross for the opening of the Refugee Exhibit.
While Kristen Bell leaned into high-octane glamour with metallic Jimmy Choo pumps, Jones opted for a look that sparked a lasting debate on the fine line between “structured” and “stiff.”

The American actress, comic book author, film producer, singer, and screenwriter embraced her love for blazers in a long, metallic silver piece from the Suno Fall 2016 collection.
Rashida Jones once said, ‘It’s downright undignified how many blazers I’ve bought over the years. And will continue to buy. They immediately give shape and add authority. With the perfect blazer, anything is possible.’ However, this particular styling choice leaned more toward a matronly look than a modern one.

She styled the metallic jacket with a black dress and simple pointy-toe pumps—a restrained combination that did little to flatter the petite actress’s proportions, as the 5-foot-2¼-inch (158.1 cm) star often relies on higher heels to add lift and elongation on the red carpet.

Do you agree that this outfit was poorly styled? Rashida Jones consistently showcases her impeccable taste in footwear, seamlessly integrating pumps into her red carpet ensembles. For instance, at the 2014 London premiere of ‘Cuban Fury,’ she dazzled in a bold Prada dress complemented by vibrant orange Kurt Geiger ‘Anja’ pumps, adding a pop of color to her look.
Similarly, at the Prabal Gurung for Target launch event in 2013, Rashida opted for Alexander Wang’s ‘Liya’ pumps, featuring cuff-like ankle straps that lent a modern edge to her ensemble. These choices highlight her ability to blend classic silhouettes with contemporary designs, reinforcing her status as a fashion-forward yet practical style icon.

Suno, a New York-based fashion brand founded in 2008 by Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty, was celebrated for its bold prints and globally inspired designs. The brand’s commitment to ethical production and artisanal craftsmanship garnered a celebrity following.
