Vanessa Kirby stepped into shine and structure for Thursday’s London premiere of “The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” wearing Aquazzura’s Minute Sandal 105 in metallic silver — the latest entry in her sculptural maternity footwear streak.QUES

The Italian-made stilettos featured mirrored leather uppers, two slim straps and a high, tapered heel. A back zip created a clean finish at the ankle, and the brand’s signature gold plaque was visible on the sole. The 105mm silhouette added lift without disrupting the overall proportion.

Kirby paired the sandals with a beaded turquoise dress from Loewe’s spring 2025 collection. The strapless midi-length look, styled by Andrew Mukamal, was constructed entirely of layered bead strands that created fringe-like movement across the body. The runway version featured a shorter hemline and metallic underlayer, but Kirby’s custom iteration removed any lining to emphasize the vertical drape. Combined with the clean stiletto, the full look felt visually elongated.

This marked Kirby’s latest footwear-forward look on the “Fantastic Four: First Steps” press tour. Earlier this week in Paris, she wore metallic wraparound stilettos with a lilac Givenchy halter dress. In Mexico, she styled two different Manolo Blahnik silhouettes — including the black snakeskin Paloma heel — with cutout knits and a teal Schiaparelli gown. And at the Alabama trailer launch in February, she wore pointed PVC stilettos with vintage Versace.

Across each appearance, Kirby has relied on heels with clean lines and exaggerated finishes — think eye-catching metallics, sheer panels and snakeskin — to ground dresses that range from architectural to body-conscious.

“The Fantastic Four: First Steps” marks the Marvel franchise’s official reboot under Disney, introducing a new cast led by Kirby, Pedro Pascal, Joseph Quinn and Ebon Moss-Bachrach. Directed by Matt Shakman, the film serves as both an origin story and launchpad for the characters’ integration into the broader MCU, ahead of their expected crossover appearances in “Avengers: Secret Wars.” The film opens in U.S. theaters on July 25.
