What's Happening?
Thandiwe Newton made a striking appearance at the world premiere of 'Anaconda' in Los Angeles, wearing René Caovilla's Cleo snake wrap sandals. The metallic gold sandals, featuring a coiled serpent strap, complemented her metallic and monochrome ensemble from Wiederhoeft’s spring 2026 collection. The sandals retail for $1,340 and are available in multiple colors. Newton's choice of footwear directly aligns with the film's theme, as 'Anaconda' revives the creature feature franchise with a new cast including Paul Rudd and Jack Black. The film is set to release on December 25.
Why It's Important?
Newton's fashion choice highlights the intersection of style and thematic relevance in film premieres. By wearing sandals that mirror the film's central motif, she draws attention
to the movie's narrative and aesthetic. This approach not only enhances the promotional impact of the premiere but also underscores the role of fashion in storytelling. The event also reflects the ongoing trend of metallic and wrap-around sandals on red carpets, as seen with other celebrities like Kacey Musgraves and Kim Kardashian.
