On her feet, the “Tar” star sported a pair of edgy knitted ankle-length boots from Alexander McQueen. The footwear was comprised of black knitted uppers that transitioned into shiny silver metal pointed toes. The set was rounded out with red stilettos standing at 1 to 2 inches in height, offering the thespian a subtle and walkable boost. As we transition into fall, boots are becoming a staple piece in many celebrities’ wardrobes. No matter the style, boots can offer any look a utilitarian touch.

Bringing the drama, the “Carol” actress sported a suiting-inspired ensemble cast in bold bright red and black hues. The thespian’s look was comprised of a plunging blazer-esque top featuring structural shoulders and a silky red pleated bodice accompanied by a billowing red cape that draped elegantly off her shoulders.

The striking top was paired alongside high-waisted tailored black trousers, offering a sleek and simple element to her look.

Off-duty, she can also be seen in low-soled and platform sneakers by Gucci, Roger Vivier and Stella McCartney.
