In addition, she deserves the star for founding the Joyful Heart Foundation, a foundation against sexual abuse and domestic violence. What’s so special about her star is that it was placed right next to that of her mom, 1950s-era sex symbol Jayne Mansfield.

For the event, the actress kept it simple yet very classy in a black Fall 2013 Lanvin dress. It seemed to be the perfect outfit for a very special occasion.

She chose to wear Lanvin from head to toe, finishing her look with a pair of pumps from the same brand.

She looked very elegant here. It was not the first time we’d seen her wear the pumps. She was spotted wearing them at the NBC 2013 Fall Launch Party in September.

They could be her favorite, and we can’t blame her! The Lanvin pumps are very sophisticated and upped the elegance of her look.

The only issue is that since she’s been wearing them often, her shoes are visibly worn out!

See the sole of the left shoe? Poor pumps! We hope she’ll let them rest now or at least have them fixed! Do you like her smooth calfskin leather pumps featuring bronze-tone croc-stamped toe caps?
