For shoes, she opted for a pair of black, patent-leather platform court heels, which are Kurt Geiger’s London Shoreditch Platform-heel Leather Court shoes from a previous collection. Crafted from 100 percent leather with a glossy patent finish, the shoes feature ankle-buckle fastening, which was obscured by the wide leg on the “Black Panther” star’s trousers.

Her shoes featured a round closed toe, a towering platform sole measuring 1.5 inches and a thick block heel measuring 4.5 inches. The Oscar winner’s shoes featured a closed-toe design, with a D’Orsay-like silhouette that left the sides of the vamp cut away, exposing the instep and arch of the foot. The shoes are currently on sale in a leopard printed design and a a rainbow wave print embellished with crystals.
