McCarthy wore a pair of booties from the luxury brand, the Arc style featuring onate crystal embellishments. In addition to the elaborate jewelry-like decorations, the shoes featured a unique sculpted silver heel which ran parallel to the ground rather than vertical, making for a floating aesthetic. In a hybrid look, the shoes were partially mesh and displayed a d’Orsay pump design as well.

McQueen is known to shake things up with footwear designs. Margot Robbie recently wore a pair of spring 2026 shoes by the brand, an embellished T-strap sandal with a statement curved heel; the style references the brand’s spring 2003 rosary shoes. In June 2025, Charlize Theron wore a chunky caged sandal style from the label with buckled straps and a block heel.
