Upon first glance at the 2017 Emmys red carpet [1], you'd immediately spot Elisabeth Moss [2], who took home two awards [3] for The Handmaid's Tale [4]. She was wearing the most gorgeous shade of pink from head to toe, and she completed her outfit with an eye-catching ACLU ribbon pinned to her clutch [5]. While you might expect that the foundation of her look began with that custom Prabal Gurung strapless fit-and-flare, her Olgana Paris shoes made way more of a statement.
What you can't tell just by looking at them is that they've got a hidden message inscribed on the sole [6]. Elisabeth's stylist, Karla Welch, shared a photo of the satin heels on Instagram, writing, "You'll have to guess what the other shoe says.... our note to the patriarchy #teamresistance." While the easy-to-guess phrase can be connected to Elisabeth's role as Offred, who revolts against the patriarchy in The Handmaid's Tale [7], we're guessing there's a bigger picture here. Perhaps the actress's shoes stand for something on a larger scale than just her well-received series. Read on for a look.
