At the premiere of A Wrinkle in Time at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood on February 26, 2018, 5’3¾” (161.9 cm) actress Sasha Lane showcased her distinctive personal style in a Celine Spring 2018 look paired with classic Christian Louboutin pumps.
Known for her expressive smile and eclectic fashion choices, the actress of African-American, European, and Māori heritage completed the red-carpet ensemble with footwear that balanced the dress’s dramatic silhouette while complementing her petite frame and US shoe size 7.

The actress paired a black turtleneck gown with a white fringed skirt, allowing the clean silhouette and contrasting textures to take center stage.
The look came from Phoebe Philo’s Spring 2018 collection for Céline, one of the designer’s final collections for the French fashion house. The gown’s swirling bodice, metallic detailing, and dramatic drop-waist construction created a strong vertical line, while the layered fringe skirt added movement as Lane walked the red carpet.
Against those contrasting textures, her white Christian Louboutin pumps provided a clean finish, keeping the focus on the silhouette rather than introducing additional straps or embellishments.
Her choice of understated pumps complemented the dress without competing for attention, reflecting the polished yet unconventional approach to fashion that has become a hallmark of her red-carpet appearances.

One month earlier, Sasha Lane embraced a more fashion-forward aesthetic at the InStyle & Warner Bros. party following the 2018 Golden Globe Awards, pairing an Off-White c/o Virgil Abloh ensemble with Christian Louboutin’s striking ‘Toubootfrou’ boots.
The look showcased her willingness to experiment with statement footwear, a sharp contrast to the classic Christian Louboutin pumps she later chose for the A Wrinkle in Time premiere.

She styled the edgy mini dress with Victorian-inspired ‘Ana’ grosgrain-trimmed satin ankle boots by Pedro Garcia.
The Valentino Pre-Fall 2018 dress reflected Pierpaolo Piccioli’s continued exploration of high-contrast graphics and sharp monochrome styling. Rather than treating the outfit as a traditionally feminine red-carpet look, Lane balanced the graphic stripes with her visible tattoos and Pedro Garcia’s Victorian-inspired ankle boots, creating the mix of luxury fashion and rebellious edge that became a signature part of her style during this period.

It takes a total of 89 people to assemble each of Pedro Garcia’s shoes. These lustrous satin ‘Ana’ pointy-toe boots are set on a pin-thin heel and have grosgrain ribbon laces.

The then-21-year-old actress wore a Louis Vuitton Spring 2018 look designed by Nicolas Ghesquière, pairing a romantic white blouse and silver floral jacquard vest with black trousers and the brand’s ‘Desert’ boots. The outfit drew inspiration from 18th-century European tailoring, while the modern footwear helped ground the historical references with a more contemporary, fashion-forward edge.

“We really inspire each other, and she’s just such a breath of fresh air,” Chloë Grace Moretz told Vulture about Sasha Lane after the Sundance premiere of the 2018 drama film directed by Desiree Akhavan.
“I definitely connected to it. [Chloë] has two gay brothers, and I being gay, it was something we wanted people to be aware of. Not many people know that there are still conversion therapy camps out there,” Sasha added about the movie.
