Dakota Fanning donned classical wears while in attendance at the “Mastermind: To Think Like A Killer” premiere during the 2024 Tribeca Festival held in New York on Friday. The first episode of the new series will premiere on June 13 and will be available for streaming on Hulu starting July 11.
The “Uptown Girls” star got red carpet ready in a pair of black sandal heels. The style featured shiny uppers that transitioned into open-caged toes that featured straps that criss-crossed in an X shape. The style was finished off with 2 to 3-inch heels that offered Fanning a subtle boost in height. Sandal heels, especially in black or nude, go with just about everything, making them the ultimate must-have shoe in any closet, Fanning’s included.

The shoe style is a favorite among many celebrities beyond Fanning and for good reason. These days, sandals can be found in a variety of styles from both high-end and affordable brands like Aldo, Steve Madden, The Row, Dolce & Gabbana, Jimmy Choo and Aquazzura, just to name a few. Despite all of the unique styles of sandal styles that have cropped up in the last few years, the good old black sandal heel has seemed to reign supreme.
