Fanning’s choice of footwear not only complemented her attire but also demonstrated a blend of classic and modern styles that she often opts for in her wardrobe. She consistently showcases her affinity for high-heeled sandals on both red carpets and talk show appearances.

In March, she donned a pair of Gianvito Rossi Ribbon Stiletto heels in gold for her appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” echoing the same vibe. At another appearance for the Hollywood Reporter Power Stylists Dinner in March 2023, the “Ripley” actress stepped out in Jimmy Choo Minny Sandals, featuring an ankle strap and stiletto heel. Similarly, in February 2020, Fanning opted for a pair of Alexander Wang crystal-detailed black pumps at the launch of The Webster in Los Angeles.
