Palmer went with an iteration of Rene Caovilla’s Cleo sandals. The silhouette featured two horizontal straps stretching across the foot and a sinuous strap encircling the ankle. She specifically modeled a glittering gold crystal Cleo sandal adorned with stars of various sizes, contributing a celestial flair to the set. The brand explains on its website that Cleo was designed in 1968 and draws inspiration from a Roman bracelet.

The shoes were selected to accent a spring 2002 haute couture dress from Versace. The ruffly, staggered hemline of the sleeveless dress reached around Palmer’s knees and also featured a scoop neck, a fitted bodice, and a flowy skirt. The garment featured warm hues like orange and peach and was embellished throughout. The actress’ auburn-hued hair, which was styled in waves, fit in with the color scheme of her outfit, as did her eye shadow. A metallic gold manicure picked up her Rene Caovilla sandals.
