Karen Gillan Gets Sleek in Proenza Schouler Dress and Inverted-Heel Mules at Veuve Clicquot’s 2023 Polo Classic

Karen Gillan took a dynamic step forward at Veuve Clicquot’s 2023 Polo Classic.

During the Saturday event at Liberty State Park in Jersey City, New Jersey, Gillan arrived in a sharp white Proenza Schouler minidress. Hailing from Lazaro Hernandez and Jack McCollough’s spring 2023 collection, the Marvel actress’ style featured a long-sleeved silhouette with a mock neckline. The piece gained a dash of bold flair, however, from its cuffs — each crafted in layered tiers of flowing ruffles, complete with thin black trim for a sophisticated statement.

When it came to footwear, Gillan slipped into a pair of sleek black mules to finish her outfit. The “Selfie” star’s style featured thin squared soles topped by two thin upper straps, all crafted from smooth glossy patent leather. Gillan’s set was finished with thin angled stiletto heels totaling at least 4 inches in height for a slick height boost. The pair’s inverted heel silhouette — a popular 2020’s shape, featuring heels at a sharp angle to mimic a heel-less silhouette — completed her outfit with a burst of geometric drama, while smoothly matching her dress’ thin black trim to crrate a coordinating moment from head to toe.
