Leave the ballet to Jane Fonda, the definition of Hollywood legend, to work on the black tie affair. The actress arrived on the red carpet in Cannes, France, for the annual (and very flashy) Cannes Film Festival wearing a pair of silver ballet shoes for under3300 from New York-based shoes and accessories brand Margaux. They can still shop.

Fonda stepped on the carpet for the premiere of Le Deuxième Acte (or Act 5-14 for non-French speakers), wearing a black beaded Elie Saab jumpsuit and forte Forte's charming leopard print coat. She accessorised with equally extravagant accessories: a stunning collar-style necklace, a thin diamond-encrusted bracelet, a matching cocktail ring by pomerato, and a pair of Mary Jane flats in Margaux in a silver mirror colorway. She was styled by Christina Ehrlich for the occasion.

The flat is still in stock in most sizes and retails forと295. Their appearance on the carpet indicates a noticeable change in the dress code necessary for the participants of the festival. It was once mandatory to wear stiletto heels on the carpet, but the archaic rule actress Kristen Stewart, famous for taking off her shoes in protest on the carpet in 2017, said on the festival's official website: "You need elegant shoes, with or without heels." It clearly states that "trainers are prohibited."

Being a 2-time Academy Award winner, 86 is not the first celebrity to co-sign Metallic footwear in 2024. On May 1, Katie Holmes wore the pair on the streets of New York City, proving that they were the ultimate versatile buys. They complement both the aesthetic of the "bustling downtown mom" that Holmes personified and the high alluring energy of the star-studded, far-flung red carpet, and are worth investing in them.

The Cannes Film Festival is unmatched in its trend to attract over-the-top gowns on the red carpet. This year's looks prove that accessories can (and maybe should) take center stage. Elsewhere in the festival, sun hat, writing the statement of Anya Taylor-Joy in Jacquemus, went semi-viral with its size and drama. The Fonda flats are just the next thing to make such a statement — and I keep scrolling for similar pairs of Fonda with a good chance that they will sell out after, for one, the Flats have gotten the recognition they deserve

co-signed by the icon . I found options from some other cult favorite brands like the Reformation, Sam Edelman, and many more.
