Kirsten Dunst stepped out in New York on Tuesday with two very different heel moments while promoting her new film “Roofman.” Both looks played in her usual register — classic shapes, fine detail, and that imitable cool girl aura — but each carried a distinct point of view.

Her first look paired a lavender metallic-knit Rabanne maxidress with blush slingback heels that balanced softness and structure. The shoes featured a scalloped toe box in a pale pink hue, offset by gold slingback straps and slender matching heels.

The mix of matte and metallic textures echoed a larger fall movement toward contrast finishes — a detail also spotted on the same day on Taylor Swift, who opted for glittering Jimmy Choo Claressa platforms for “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” to promote “The Life of a Showgirl.” Keke Palmer, who opted for white Louboutin Hot Chick pumps worn in Los Angeles in August, played with the notion of scalloped detailing much like Dunst. Both styles playing with sculpted curves and surface texture to reframe classic silhouettes.

Later in the day, Dunst shifted from softness to structure. She wore a gingham Shushu/Tong dress from the designer’s spring 2025 collection with a navy knit vest and black pumps that featured a rounded toe, a thick ankle strap with a gold buckle and a small tan platform. The faint red sole and gold buckle hinted at a likely Louboutin design, though the tan platforms suggest they have been customized or altered.

Dunst’s double appearance came as she continued her “Roofman press” run. The true-crime drama follows a thief, portrayed by Channing Tatum, hiding inside a Toys “R” Us who falls for a single mother, played by Dunst. Off-screen, her footwear choices keep their own steady narrative — thoughtful and anchored in the kind of edgy femininity that never feels forced.
