Leslie Mann and Michelle Buteau brought their own style to the Spa Weekend premiere in the Hamptons, stepping out in two very different red-carpet looks.
Mann went for a summery printed Stella McCartney dress with bold red heels, while Buteau took a more futuristic approach in a metallic blue pleated Jovani gown paired with towering Azalea Wang platforms.

Leslie Mann Matches Red Strappy Heels to Her Stella McCartney Raspberry Dress
Leslie Mann radiated effortless summer glamour at the daytime screening in the Hamptons, pairing a romantic printed dress with bright red heels. It’s a color-coordinating trick she has used on the red carpet before: at The Other Woman Los Angeles premiere, Mann made vivid orange-red Oscar Tiye “Cleopatra” sandals the focal point of her look. Here, the effect was softer, with her red shoes picking up the hand-painted raspberries scattered across her dress and tying the two pieces together.
Her minimalist red sandals featured slim crossover straps across the front and squared open toes, giving the classic strappy style a more modern look. The barely-there silhouette recalls other minimalist red-carpet styles, including the red Gianvito Rossi “Corset” sandals Leigh-Anne Pinnock wore with a thigh-high-slit gown, though Mann’s squared toes gave her pair a more contemporary finish.
The high stiletto heels added height without competing with the print, while the delicate straps made them a natural match for the lightweight summer dress. Mann has gone much bolder with her footwear in the past, including the 5-inch leopard-print Bionda Castana “Daphne” pumps she wore during The Other Woman press tour, making these barely-there red sandals feel comparatively restrained.

Mann paired them with a red-and-pink recycled mesh dress from Stella McCartney’s High Summer collection. Made in Portugal, the dress featured a raspberry motif hand-painted at the brand’s London atelier. The scattered red prints stood out against the soft pink base, giving the dress a playful, summery feel.
I especially loved the stretchy, lightweight mesh, which worked perfectly for the season and offered different ways to wear the dress. Mann wore it off the shoulder, but the versatile design could also be styled across one shoulder or as a bandeau. The slim, body-skimming silhouette further flattered her figure, with the floor-length hem creating an elegant, elongated line.
You can get this Stella McCartney dress for $1,690 at Farfetch and Net-a-Porter.
Mann finished her ensemble with simple hoop earrings and a ring. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail with soft waves and loose fringe framing her face, while defined lashes and a rosy lip kept her beauty look polished and summery.

Michelle Buteau Goes Sky-High in 5.5-Inch Azalea Wang Platforms and Metallic Jovani
Michelle Buteau, meanwhile, embraced maximalism, bringing a retro-futuristic energy to the Spa Weekend premiere with a head-turning metallic blue gown and unexpected black-and-white platform sandals.
Rather than pairing the shiny gown with matching blue or silver heels, Buteau chose Azalea Wang’s “Tell It How It Is” sandals.
The funky design featured a glossy black faux patent leather strap across the toes and towering 5.5-inch black block heels, while chunky 2-inch double platforms created a graphic black-and-white contrast beneath the foot. That exaggerated proportion has appeared elsewhere on the red carpet, including the 5.5-inch Aquazzura “Sundance” platform sandals Linda Cardellini wore to the Gotham TV Awards, which similarly balanced towering block heels with substantial platforms and delicate straps.
Buteau also shares a taste for towering platforms with her Spa Weekend co-star: Leslie Mann once wore 5.5-inch Saint Laurent Lightning Bolt pumps to the London premiere of Anchorman 2. Buteau’s sandals took that extreme height in a funkier direction, with a white ankle strap wrapping around the heel and fastening with a silver buckle.
I loved the unexpected color combination, which made the dramatic platforms look even more striking against the metallic blue gown.

Buteau paired the sandals with a striking turquoise Jovani gown covered in metallic sheen and intricate plissé pleating. The pleats ran throughout the dress, giving the fabric plenty of texture and movement.
The gown featured a crossover halter bodice with a triangular cutout at the midriff. A wide band of horizontal pleats wrapped around her waist before the skirt opened into a full-length A-line silhouette with a thigh-high slit that added another dramatic detail.
Her glam matched the outfit’s playful energy. She wore her hair in a high curly ponytail woven with intricate braids, metallic hair rings, and white beads. Gold hoop earrings and layered chunky bracelets added even more shine.

Why Azalea Wang’s Statement Shoes Keep Turning Up in Celebrity Style
Buteau’s towering platforms also make sense within Azalea Wang’s broader celebrity appeal. The brand has built its identity around footwear designed to be noticed, from crystal-covered boots and sculptural platforms to neon stilettos, metallic finishes, and hardware-heavy silhouettes that hold their own under stage lights and camera flashes.
Rather than disappearing beneath a dramatic dress, these are shoes designed to become part of the visual story—a formula that has made Azalea Wang a natural fit for red carpets, performances, and other high-impact celebrity looks. Buteau’s black-and-white “Tell It How It Is” sandals fit squarely into that world, giving her metallic Jovani gown an unexpected graphic finish.
The exact pair she wore may be hard to find now, but Azalea Wang still offers similarly bold styles. As of August 2026, Nordstrom carries an extensive selection of Azalea Wang footwear, including platform sandals, ankle-wrap heels, stilettos, wedges, pumps, and statement boots, with many styles priced around $59 to $139.
