In April 2015, at CinemaCon in Las Vegas, Reese Witherspoon and Sofia Vergara brought their Hot Pursuit chemistry off-screen, turning the red carpet into a lesson in contrast styling—and statement footwear.

While the film paired a rule-following police officer with a high-energy witness on the run, their promotional appearances leaned into a similarly playful balance. Flowing silhouettes, leg-baring hemlines, and bold heels worked together to reflect the film’s lighthearted tone without tipping into costume.

For Witherspoon in particular, the moment stood out for its shoe choice. Her lace-and-mesh Christian Louboutin “Tiny” heels added edge and height to a soft J. Mendel halter dress, proving how intentional footwear can sharpen a romantic look—and why this CinemaCon appearance remains a reference point in her red-carpet style evolution.

The duo’s off-screen friendship was just as charming as their onscreen chemistry.

At CinemaCon 2015, Witherspoon and Vergara radiated joy on the red carpet, sharing candid laughs, playful poses, and an undeniable sense of sisterhood that delighted photographers.

Reese dialed up the sex appeal in a J. Mendel hyacinth dress, which she paired with “Tiny” fishnet Louboutins that seemed to be a cross between the “Salonu” and the “Patinana.”

The heels added an unexpected layer of intrigue to an otherwise classic red-carpet look.

Sofia Vergara leaned into sleek minimalism in a structured neoprene dress from Cushnie et Ochs Fall 2015, letting the clean lines and body-skimming silhouette do the work.

She grounded the look with Charlotte Olympia “Bon Bon” slingback platform pumps, whose sculptural curves and subtle shine added height without competing with the dress’s modern simplicity.

The pairing struck a confident balance—streamlined, leg-lengthening, and unmistakably red-carpet ready—proving that bold footwear doesn’t need embellishment to make an impact.
