Aquazzura. For the London premiere at the BFI IMAX Waterloo on July 10, 2025, she wore the label's Minute Sandal 105 in metallic silver: mirrored leather, two slim straps, a tapered stiletto and a back zip at the ankle. Andrew Mukamal styled it with a strapless turquoise Loewe spring 2025 dress made entirely of beaded fringe.
Five days later in Sydney, at Hoyts Entertainment Quarter, she chose the pointed Aquazzura Love Affair Mesh pump with an all black look. FN counted it as at least her third Aquazzura pair of the tour, after a clear gold slingback in Rome.
On Live With Kelly and Mark in New York on July 23, 2025, she wore Aquazzura's So Nude sandal in a blue python degrade metallic leather, a 1990s inspired strappy style on a 105mm stiletto with an elastic slingback. FN noted she had kept to high heels through the tour, naming Christian Louboutin, Manolo Blahnik and Paris Texas as well.

| June 2025 | Mexico | Manolo Blahnik strappy sandals |
| Early July 2025 | Paris photocall | Metallic stilettos with gold ankle ties |
| July 8, 2025 | Berlin fan event | Black satin barely there sandals |
| July 10, 2025 | London premiere | Aquazzura Minute Sandal 105, silver |
| July 15, 2025 | Sydney launch | Aquazzura Love Affair Mesh pump |
| July 23, 2025 | Live With Kelly and Mark | Aquazzura So Nude, blue |
At the Berlin fan event at Das Center on July 8, she wore black satin sandals with a razor thin toe strap, a looped slingback and a stiletto over four inches, under a sheer high neck dress. In Paris, FN described metallic stilettos with one thin toe strap and gold ties wrapping the ankle, likening them to a gladiator revival also seen on Meagan Good and Tyla. A month earlier, on the Mexico leg, she had worn similar barely there Manolo Blahnik sandals.

Wikipedia records that she grew up in Wimbledon, worked in an AIDS hospice in South Africa during a gap year after LAMDA turned her down, and studied English at Exeter. Director David Thacker gave her three leads at the Octagon Theatre Bolton in 2010, and she later played Stella in A Streetcar Named Desire at the Young Vic opposite Gillian Anderson.
Playing Princess Margaret in The Crown won her a BAFTA, and Pieces of a Woman earned the Volpi Cup and an Oscar nomination. Films include two Mission: Impossible entries, Hobbs and Shaw and Napoleon, as Empress Josephine. Between 2021 and 2023 she co hosted the True Spies podcast with Hayley Atwell, Sophia Di Martino and Daisy Ridley, and she returned to the National Theatre in 2018 in Polly Stenham's Julie. In March 2024 Netflix cast her as Lynette, the lead in its adaptation of Willy Vlautin's novel The Night Always Comes, filmed in Portland that spring. She and former lacrosse player Paul Rabil revealed at CCXP Mexico in May 2025 that they were expecting their first child.
