Amy Adams Stuns in Valentino and Casadei Heels at Man of Steel Premiere — Plus Zack Snyder’s Justice League Dedication

In January 2013, our favorite strawberry blonde actress, Amy Adams, arrived at Heathrow Airport, along with other cast members of ‘Man of Steel’, for the UK premiere of the Zack Snyder film.

Amy Adams, who plays Lois Lane opposite Henry Cavill as Clark Kent in this latest Superman interpretation, seemed to have eliminated travel fatigue with her casual but chic getup.

Amy Adams pairs a casual button-down shirt with rolled-up skinny jeans and high-heeled gray ankle boots, adding height to her petite 5ft 3½in (161.3 cm) frame while arriving at Heathrow Airport in London on June 12, 2013 (Credit: WENN)

It was simple enough: a button-down shirt, jeans, and a bright yellow satchel. Then, the ‘pièce de résistance’: a pair of high-heeled gray booties.

And just like that, Adams had our attention as a potential Katie Holmes figure to be reckoned with — in terms of fashion, of course.

Amy Adams Stuns in Valentino Dress and Casadei Heels at Man of Steel UK Premiere

To the movie premiere, Amy donned a strapless Valentino Spring 2013 Couture nude dress paired with black Casadei pumps.

Despite the boost from her high heels, Amy Adams still appeared noticeably shorter than her Man of Steel co-star Henry Cavill on the red carpet. Amy, who stands at 5 feet 3 ½ inches (161.3 cm) — though she often rounds up to 5’4″ in interviews — is slightly below the average American female height of 5 feet 4 inches (163 cm).

In contrast, Henry Cavill towers over her at 6 feet ½ inch (184.2 cm), creating a striking height difference even as he looked sharp in a tailored Tom Ford suit.

Zack Snyder told Comic Book Debate about casting for the part of Lois Lane. He considered giving the part to Guardians of the Galaxy’s Zoe Saldaña for 2013’s Man of Steel.

“Amy actually inspired that opening scene in Batman v Superman. She mentioned journalists who have been in war zones and we went along with it. At a time, it was between her and Zoe Saldaña. They’re totally different, but their presence is super strong,” he revealed

Amy Adams auditioned twice for the role of Lois Lane before finally being cast in Man of Steel (2013).

“The first time there was a version that never got made with Matt Bomer, who’s amazing. Then there was the Bryan Singer version (Superman Returns); I auditioned for that one and didn’t get cast. And then this one — I auditioned and got cast,” she explained.

Laughing about her persistence, Amy added, “You’d think I would have learned, but I have enough Lois in me that I kept trying. I would have been, like, 75 and still auditioning.”

While Man of Steel launched Amy Adams as Lois Lane in the DC Extended Universe, her role continued in Justice League — a film that would later take on deeply personal meaning for director Zack Snyder.

Zack Snyder Dedicates Justice League to His Late Daughter Autumn

Zack Snyder’s daughter, Autumn Snyder, tragically passed away in 2017, leading him to step away from directing Justice League.

Years later, he released Zack Snyder’s Justice League, dedicating the film “For Autumn.” The end credits feature Leonard Cohen’s Hallelujah, performed by Allison Crowe, as it was Autumn’s favorite song and had been played at her funeral.

Allison Crowe shared with Billboard that Hallelujah was chosen for the film’s ending as it was Autumn’s favorite song, making the project a heartfelt tribute to her and the Snyder family. Zack Snyder originally intended to keep the family’s loss private, but ultimately chose to share the dedication publicly.

After Autumn’s passing, production on Justice League was paused so Zack Snyder and his wife, Deborah, could focus on their family.

Although Snyder initially considered returning to work, he ultimately decided to step away to support his children and allow time for healing.

The cast and crew, including Gal Gadot, Ezra Miller, Jason Momoa, and Ben Affleck, supported Zack and Deborah Snyder’s decision to step away.

Warner Bros. later hired Joss Whedon to complete filming, though Snyder expressed frustration that the studio gave Whedon greater creative control.

After Autumn’s passing, Snyder later said the family was too overwhelmed to continue production discussions.

While Joss Whedon finished filming, Warner Bros. maintained that the final product followed Snyder’s original vision. Justice League was released in 2017 and earned $657.9 million at the box office, though both fans and Snyder hoped for a chance to revisit his full version.

Snyder eventually returned to complete his version of the film, releasing Zack Snyder’s Justice League on HBO Max.

The four-hour cut received praise from fans, with Snyder dedicating the film to his daughter Autumn, whose memory inspired him to finish the project.

Snyder has often spoken about Autumn’s creativity and passion for writing while studying at Sarah Lawrence. He also shared that she struggled with self-worth, making her memory central to the film’s dedication and his decision to revisit the project.

Zack Snyder says Autumn was the only one of his children who had the same passion for superheroes that he does. “She’s the only dork,” he laughs. “She was the only fan.”

Autumn was one of the main reasons he felt he needed to revisit Justice League, but this time, he did it in her honor.
