Angel Reese Stuns in Gianvito Rossi Heels at ‘A House of Dynamite’ New York Film Festival Premiere
There’s a certain magic when an all-black look meets the right glow. At the New York Film Festival, basketball phenom Angel Reese reminded us how a minimal palette can still feel daring, feminine and unapologetically luxe. For those of us who live for sleek lines, luminous textures and a whisper of drama, her red carpet moment is pure inspiration. Consider this your front-row seat to a masterclass in modern glamour.
Angel Reese’s All-Black Moment at the New York Film Festival
Stepping onto the “A House of Dynamite” red carpet at Lincoln Center, Angel Reese embraced a head-to-toe black palette that felt polished and powerfully understated. The look hinged on contrast—soft movement, clean structure and a glossy finish where it mattered most.
The Statement Heel: Gianvito Rossi Dorotea
Reese anchored her ensemble with **Gianvito Rossi’s Dorotea sandals**—a refined, high-heel silhouette that balances strength and delicacy. Retailing at $1,095, the style blends sheer **organza silk** with plush **suede** trimming for a quietly sensual finish.
- Modern **pointed-toe** profile
- 105mm **stiletto heel** for elegant lift
- See-through **organza** upper with suede edging
- Signature **Ribbon buckle** in gleaming gold
The result is a heel that elongates and illuminates—ideal for a monochrome look that still reads as dimensional and luxe.
The Dress and the Finishing Touches
Reese’s **black midi dress** kept the lines fluid with an A-line skirt and a low-cut, sleeveless neckline—softening the sharper geometry of her heels. Jewelry stayed purposeful: a black choker with a silver pendant, plus **silver rings** and **stacked bracelets** for a cool, metallic gleam.
From Court to Couture: Reese’s High-Heel Streak
While she’s the face of her own signature **Reebok** sneaker, Reese is clearly a **high-heel** devotee off the court. She’s returned to **Gianvito Rossi** time and again, pairing the brand’s chic Ribbon sandals in black with the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in 2024.
Her fashion calendar kept the momentum: **Metropolis** strappy PVC heels for the 2024 **CFDA Awards**, and the sultry **Montecarlo** sandal for the 38th annual **Footwear News Achievement Awards**. Consider it proof that sport and sophistication can absolutely coexist.
Get the Look: Malibu Elixir Style Notes
- Go monochrome: A **black midi dress** with movement creates instant polish.
- Choose texture play: Mix **sheer** elements with **suede** or satin for depth.
- Elevate with a **pointed-toe stiletto** to lengthen the leg and sharpen the line.
- Keep jewelry intentional: One bold piece, then refined **silver** accents.
- Beauty glow matters: A subtle **body luminizer**, a moisturized **pedicure**, and a satin-finish complexion make black feel radiant, not flat.
