Naomie Harris wasn’t the only celebrity to go unconventional for the 2017 Oscars ceremony.
Leading “Star Wars” lady Felicity Jones broke from routine and attended the 2017 Academy Awards in a tutu-esque tulle skirt. Looks like Felicity is a rebel both on- and- off-screen.

A Romantic Twist: Felicity’s Dior Tulle Dress
The then-33-year-old English actress looked sweet and romantic for her second Academy Awards appearance. It was a 180-degree turn from her fierce “Star Wars” character Jyn Erso.
Okay, so Felicity wasn’t exactly in a tutu fit for a ballerina’s stage, but she was in a rather ethereal tulle Dior number.
The actress switched out her butt-kicking costume for a romantic spaghetti-strapped multi-layer dress. We really love the subtle embellishments sprinkled about on the delicate fabric.

The Christian Louboutin ‘Bat Bat’ Phenomenon
Felicity Jones’ choice of the Christian Louboutin “Bat Bat” sandals at the 2017 Oscars wasn’t an isolated instance of this design gracing the red carpet.
Earlier that year, Amy Adams received her star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, pairing her ensemble with the same gold “Bat Bat” sandals, showcasing their versatility and appeal.
Similarly, Elle Fanning embraced the whimsical charm of these heels during “The Neon Demon” photocall in Rome, complementing her Giamba babydoll dress with the gold version of the sandals. These instances highlight the popularity of the “Bat Bat” sandals among celebrities seeking a blend of elegance and distinctive design.

Though we expected something more glamorous for the Oscars, Felicity’s Dior gown still earns our approval. It’s not exactly memorable — and honestly, we think this would be more fitting for the Oscars luncheon — but we also don’t hate it.
Christian Louboutin: A Red Carpet Staple
Christian Louboutin’s iconic red-soled creations have long been a staple on red carpets and fashion events. In January 2025, Katie Holmes showcased the timeless appeal of the brand by pairing her ensemble with the elegant Cathedral Mary Jane pumps, highlighting the versatility of Louboutin’s designs.
Similarly, Kerry Washington embraced the brand’s allure, stepping out in chic platform ankle boots that added a modern edge to her look. These instances underscore the enduring popularity of Christian Louboutin’s footwear among celebrities seeking to make a statement.
Felicity’s Christian Louboutin “Bat Bat” sandals are not available online, but you can check out the most recent designs from the designer at Nordstrom and Mytheresa.
