The “Smashing Machine” actress wore a pair of Christian Louboutin’s Levitalo heels in black. The style creates an optical illusion with a wedge heel featuring a clear portion, so the upper appears disconnected from the heel while metallic gold trim adds another element of glamour.
Further accentuating the levitating look, Blunt’s shoes featured a clear slingback strap attached to a black ankle strap. The minimalist upper also included a medium-width strap across the toes. Blunt wore the silhouette in suede, which the brand has also offered in other iterations, including rose gold glitter. The Levitalo no longer appears to be sold directly by Christian Louboutin.

Blunt’s distinctive footwear accompanied an all-black ensemble. She dressed up in a bodysuit with a twist on a sweetheart neckline, and a sheer midi skirt with linear jewel embellishment. The embellishment could be seen along the lapels of her matching oversize blazer as well.

Blunt has had many opportunities to share her fashion sense lately. She attended the WWD Style Awards on Friday wearing crystal-embellished Miu Miu slingback heels with a black Carolina Herrera by Wes Gordon look. On Sunday at the Golden Globes, she went with a futuristic white Louis Vuitton look.
