Sophie Turner Stuns in Knee-High Boots at Rugby World Cup Final
Sophie Turner brought her signature chic style to the Rugby World Cup final this past weekend. The Game of Thrones actress and Louis Vuitton muse arrived at the iconic Stade de France in Paris on Saturday to present the coveted Webb Ellis Cup to the winning team. Ever the LV girl, Turner donned a full look by the French fashion house for the major sporting event. She slipped on a pair of the label’s Donna boots, which feature sleek black leather uppers with a narrow pointed toe and 3.3-inch block heel. The knee-high shaft of the boots provided ample coverage for Turner as she took to the field before throngs of cheering rugby fans from around the globe.
Turner’s showstopping footwear was the perfect complement to her outfit, which included a long-sleeved beige knit top and a graphic black and yellow miniskirt covered in LV’s signature rope, chain and anchor motifs. The edgy skirt also incorporated panels of glossy black leather, adding depth to the look. Turner finished off the ensemble with LV jewelry, including the Eclipse Pearls pendant necklace, Crown hoop earrings and Symphony ring, all in gleaming gold. A rose gold Tambour watch — a true LV collector’s item — sparkled on her wrist. From head to toe, Turner was the embodiment of French girl chic.
The actress, who shot to fame as Sansa Stark on the hit HBO series Game of Thrones, has a close relationship with Louis Vuitton. She often wears custom looks by creative director Nicolas Ghesquiere on the red carpet and sits front row at the brand’s runway shows. LV even tapped Turner as the face of their OnTheBeach fragrance campaign over the summer.
At just 23 years old, Turner has quickly established herself as a budding fashion icon with an affinity for bold prints, edgy textures and statement accessories. Knee-high boots are one of her go-to styles, and she frequently wears sleek pairs by Aquazzura, Saint Laurent and other top brands.
For the Rugby World Cup final, Turner’s choice of boots seemed appropriate, as the sport is known for its rough and tumble nature. The Donna’s smooth leather and block heel gave her a bit of height while still providing the opportunity to stride across the field steadily.
Off the field, Turner mixes up her footwear choices. She often steps out in sporty Nike sneakers and fuzzy Yeezy slides when wanting to be casual. For formal affairs, she turns to Christian Louboutin, Jimmy Choo and Giuseppe Zanotti heels. But her heart lies with Louis Vuitton, and the French label can undoubtedly count on Turner to show off their latest shoe styles.
Turner presented the trophy before the championship match between South Africa and New Zealand. Over 98,000 fans packed into the stadium to watch South Africa emerge victorious over three-time champion New Zealand. It was an electric atmosphere as the Springboks became the second team ever to win the Rugby World Cup after a loss in the first round.
No doubt Turner’s high-fashion moment will go down as one of the most memorable parts of the entire tournament. The actress’ ability to meld sporty and chic so effortlessly epitomizes her unique sense of style. With award season just around the corner, we can’t wait to see what elegant looks Turner steps out in next. One thing is for certain — her footwear game will be on point.
