Anna Kendrick Gets Creative in Sculpted Slingback Sandal for ‘Another Simple Favor’ NYC Press

Anna Kendrick is still in New York City, helping to promote her new film “Another Simple Favor.” She’s been making the rounds, not only heading to the film premiere, but also a series of press appearances like “The Tonight Sow Starring Jimmy Fallon.“

On Tuesday, she was seen leaving her hotel with a red floral midi-length dress. The dress included shoulder straps and a belt in green. She also small white handbag.

On foot, Kendrick wore a pair of Alexandre Birman Cacau sandal. The shoes feature a sole that has a pointed toe. But the toe is completely open, allowing a view of the toes — the company calls it their leaf toe. The upper is composed of brown leather. It is a D’orsay cut slingback, meaning that it is divided into two halves: a front half that comprises the toe box and a back half composed of a strap that slings around the back of the foot.

The distinguishing design is the actual sculpted heel. It sources inspiration in cacao fruit. It measures almost 4 inches and is a contrasting color to the rest of the shoe.

Alexandre Birman sells the Cacau heel for $695. It is available in two differing colorways.

Slingbacks have been trending with celebrities over the last year or two in a variety of heights. Stars have worn them via platform styles as well as stiletto heels and even flats. Viola Davis just wore a pair of kitten heel slingbacks from Gucci to the premiere of her new film “G20.” A particularly popular slingback has been the three-buckle slingback from Miu Miu. That option has been worn by Sydney Sweeney, Gigi Hadid, Nicky Hilton, Addison Rae and Zaya Wade among others.
