Lourd plays Worry Smurf in the film, which also features the voice talent of Rihanna as Smurfette.

For the movie’s premiere, Lourd opted for a beige version of the French luxury brand’s Follies Strass style, which features a mesh upper — “a nod to Christian Louboutin‘s love of transparency,” per the brand — embellished with shining strass concentrated most heavily at the toe and gradually scattered more sparingly beyond. In addition to showcasing the popular transparent shoe trend and eye-catching crystals, the shoes contrast the mesh with a suede heel.

The pumps served as a neutral yet glamorous complement to Lourd’s pale blue halter neck gown featuring a high-low hemline. The garment showcased a tiered design with layered ruffled fabric in a loose silhouette, and a large floral design embellished the dress at the chest. The actress maintained the “Smurfs”-appropriate color scheme with matching icy blue eye shadow.
