There's a dress code for stars when they walk the red carpet [1] and usually, it involves wearing heels. When Jennifer Garner [2] attended the 5th annual Save the Children Illumination Gala [3], we, of course, expected her to dress up. The star wore a Michael Kors Collection gown and stood tall in her black, strappy pumps. She looked elegant and fancy for the special occasion.
But Jennifer also had a style secret. She had brought a back-up shoe — a pair of APL sneakers [4] — to change into post-event. The star was spotted leaving the venue in her multicolored kicks, which peeped out from under her fringe dress.
Her choice to choose a comfortable shoe to end the night in doesn't seem too unusual. In Hollywood, stars spend hours standing in four-inch heels. We saw Viola Davis switch into platform sneakers [5] after the 2017 Academy Awards and Katie Holmes [6] always keeps her Stan Smiths [7] close by. Because at the end of the night, nothing beats a pair of cushioned sneakers.
