The actress, who was styled by Samantha McMillen, wore the Gianvito Rossi Manhattan 70 sandals in black. The shoes are crafted from glossy Nuit leather. The Manhattan 70 is a round-toe signature sandal with a 70mm stiletto heel, or 2.8 inches, which is a manageable height for a red carpet event.

The design is defined by simple straps. The sandals feature a wide toe strap, an asymmetrical strap that wraps over the vamp and a slingback strap. The slingback strap is enriched at the back by the signature Gianvito Rossi Ribbon buckle in gold. The shoes are handmade in Italy. The heels retail for $945 and are also available in a pink nude nappa leather.

Fanning has received multiple Emmy nominations, most recently this year in the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited or Anthology Series or Movie for her role as Jenny in Peacock’s “All Her Fault.”
