Sophie Turner Proves Wedge Mules Are Back in a Sculpted Khaite Leather Look

Sophie Turner is quietly bringing wedge mules back into the spotlight. At the BAFTA special screening of Steal, she stepped out in a sleek, all-black ensemble that looked sharp, modern, and undeniably cool. She wore a black Khaite set with clean lines and subtle structure, paired with black wedge mules.

Wedge mules have gone in and out of style, and while they can easily look dated, Turner’s styling gave them a fresh update. Let’s take a closer look at how she pulled it off.

Why Sophie Turner’s Khaite Wedge Mules Signal a Modern Comeback

Sophie slipped into the “Colt” wedge mules by Khaite, made in Italy from soft glazed calf leather. From the front, the snip-toe silhouette gave the shoes a sharp, modern look. The open back, on the other hand, balanced that structure, making them appear comfier and more relaxed.

These mules featured Khaite’s signature gold stitching across the high, seamless vamp, adding detail to the otherwise plain black leather. They sat on 3-inch wedge heels, a style that’s making a clear comeback this year. I love how they add height without the sharpness of a stiletto, keeping the design polished and wearable.

While pointed pumps would have worked for a more classic finish, the wedge mules made Sophie’s outfit more interesting and a little unexpected.

A Sculpted Black Khaite Leather Look That Lets the Shoes Lead

Sophie paired the shoes with a black leather set from Khaite that put her long legs on full display. She wore the close-fitting “Samuel” jacket, $4,200 on Farfetch, made from glossy lambskin leather with a smooth, shiny finish. I liked how she wore it fully closed, with silver-tone trompe l’oeil buttons down the front and concealed internal snaps that kept the silhouette neat and secure. Matching button details at the cuffs added a clean finishing touch!

The jacket also featured strategic seams and darting that beautifully shaped it through her waist, while slightly padded shoulders gave it structure. It was lined in cupro twill, with a hem that stopped at the thighs, sitting neatly over the mini skirt. 

It looked like she had forgotten her bottoms, but Sophie was actually wearing the Khaite “Jett” mini skirt underneath. Available for $1,168 at Farfetch, it was made from glossy Italian lambskin leather, lined in silk, giving it a smooth, fluid look. Its minimal cut allowed her long legs to take center stage, while the more structured jacket balanced it.

Minimal Accessories and Soft Glam to Balance the Wedge Silhouette

Styled by Emma Jade Morrison, Sophie kept accessories to a minimum, which worked perfectly with the sharpness of her leather outfit. She wore just two carved ear cuffs from Ananya on one ear, adding a touch of shine without distracting from the jacket and skirt. I liked how the choice was modern and understated, in line with the ensemble’s clean feel.

Turner pulled her hair into a slick, side-parted chignon, with a few loose strands softening one side of her face. The sleek style echoed the sharp lines of her black leather jacket, keeping the look cohesive from head to toe. Her makeup was kept simple, with soft, smoky eyes and glossy nude lips that complemented her outfit.
