Anne Hathaway Raises the Vamp and Keeps the Rest Strictly Black

Anne Hathaway has put her foot behind the season's taller pump, stepping out in a slingback pair from the Danish label Anonymous Copenhagen with the front cut high across the instep. The shoe does the talking: a closed toe that climbs farther up the foot than the low-cut court heel most closets are used to, held at the back by a single strap. She matched it to a knit dress in black, so the entire outfit reads as one color from hem to heel and the only thing that changes is texture. It is a quiet way to try a trend, and the kind of pairing that will travel easily from Manhattan sidewalks to a Palm Beach dinner.
