Jessica Chastain Slips On Classic Pumps for ‘Memory’ Panel in NYC
Jessica Chastain took a chic approach to dressing while promoting her latest film, “Memory.” The drama, which Chastain stars in alongside Peter Sarsagaard, premieres on Netflix on Jan. 5, 2024.
During a panel discussion with Sarsgaard, Michael Franco and Joe Neumaier at 92NY in New York City, Chastain slipped on a pair of black leather pumps. The Oscar-winning actress‘ style featured smooth uppers with sharply pointed toes, complete with closed counters and thin stiletto heels. For a sleek edge, the pair was finished with textured rubber paneling on its soles.
Chastain’s heels brought a modern take to the pointed-toe pump with its heavily textured base, while remaining rooted in the shoe’s classic silhouette. The style is often favored for its sharp shape and heels, allowing it to dress up ensembles both casual and formal. Neutral pairs like Chastain’s are favored year-round and are regularly released from numerous brands, including Vince Camuto, Gianvito Rossi and Jimmy Choo.

Chastain smoothly streamlined her pumps by pairing the sharp heels with an equally dark outfit. The “Help” star’s attire featured a black short-sleeved top and trousers, layered beneath a cape-style coat that tied around her waist to create a monochrome appearance.
Chastain’s ensemble leaned into classic, versatile colors and silhouettes to create an appearance that was smoothly streamlined and elegant. Specific details like her shoes’ rubber soles, as well as her coat’s slit sleeves and knotted waist, brought an elevated take to otherwise simple pieces. Her outfit’s completion with classic pointed pumps only served to highlight this method, while cementing the power of wardrobe staples to provide an ease when getting dressed.
