Taraji P. Henson delivered a sculptural second on Monday on the Netflix STRAW Tastemaker Dinner, hosted at Tatiana by Kwame Onwuachi in New York Metropolis. The Emmy-winning actress arrived in a slate-hued, asymmetrical jumpsuit punctuated by plush accents, finishing the look with lace-up Alexandre Birman sandals.
For the event, Henson opted for the Zaya 100 heeled sandal in darkish brown. Crafted from gentle nappa leather-based, it featured an intricate lace-up ankle wrap and a leaf-pointed toe. The standout element of the shoe — a cluster of picket, gold and bronze beads, accented with silver studs throughout the toe strap – is a nod to Birman’s Brazilian heritage, the place artisanal craftsmanship and cultural influences encourage his aesthetic.
