Whenever the internet gets upset over a pair of shoes, we know it’s going to be a good day in the office.
On Tuesday evening, Killing Eve actress Jodie Comer attended the Harper's Bazaar Women Of The Year Awards 2024 at prestigious London hub Claridge’s, alongside fellow industry veterans and emerging stars.
For the central London bash, the Liverpudlian wore 16Arlington's ‘Ettina’ dress, which featured swathes of dark chocolate sequins, a mini silhouette, a scooped neckline and a Nineties-inspired mesh underlay.

However, all eyes fell upon her shoe choice for the after hours bash. The actress slipped into a pair of mesh thong kitten heels, fusing beach-ready silhouettes with on-trend fabrics.

The actress’ shoe selection marked the marriage of the aforementioned with the ongoing captivation with thon-shaped footwear.

Pioneered by Miu Miu, who debuted the avant-garde design in its spring/summer 2024 collection, thong boots led on from thong mules, a strappier version of Jodie’s controversial kicks.
Love them or hate them, Jodie’s shoewear shows that fashion flourishes when worn by the brave. Bring on the thong.
