According to Us Weekly, she has been friends with Reynolds for a long time. They met through a producing partner in 2000 when he was a star of the sitcom Two Guys and a Girl.

But let’s talk about what really steals the spotlight: Sandra Bullock’s impeccable shoe game. Sandra’s footwear choices continue to set trends, from power pumps in The Proposal to glittering Jimmy Choo heels at high-profile events.

Filming The Proposal: Behind the Scenes

Directed by Anne Fletcher and written by Peter Chiarelli, The Proposal’s filming started in April 2008 in Rockport, Massachusetts, when Sandra Bullock was 43 years old. She turned 44 on July 26, 2008.

Costume designer Catherine Marie Thomas carefully curated Sandra Bullock’s wardrobe in The Proposal to reflect her character, Margaret Tate’s transformation from a rigid, high-powered New York book editor to someone who embraces love and vulnerability.

In addition to wearing Christian Louboutin heels in the movie, she has frequently boosted her height in heels from the French shoe designer on the red carpet. Who could forget the green suede Christian Louboutin’s “Geo” pumps she wore with a Narciso Rodriguez color-blocked dress at the Toronto International Film Festival?
