Tati Gabrielle has been leaning into wrapped, martial-arts-adjacent dressing throughout the “Mortal Kombat II” promo run, and at Gold House’s fifth annual Gold Gala, she picked up the same wrapped idea in a cleaner black stiletto sandal.

“You” and “The Last of Us” star wore black suede-effect stiletto sandals with one band across the toes, a narrow black sole, an open back and a thin heel. Around the ankle, the styling crossed slim black straps into an X shape and closed the higher band with a small silver buckle at the outside. The open toe showed her pedicure: a metallic beetle-green finish that shifted between teal, olive and gold.

The choice put Gabrielle near the wrap-sandal revival without pushing her into full gladiator territory. Kim Kardashian went higher and more literal earlier this month in butter yellow calf-wrapping heels, while Serena Williams took the idea to Met Gala scale in gold thigh-high sandals. Gabrielle’s version stayed lower, cleaner and more red carpet-minded, closer to a barely-there stiletto with a Roman line worked into the ankle.

Gabrielle appeared to stay in the orbit of stylist Jean Chung’s Ghost Elements for the Gold Gala, pairing the sandals with a black two-piece look that extended the wrapped, martial-arts-adjacent language they have been working throughout the “Mortal Kombat II” promo run. They wore a cropped top with a cross-front neckline, wide sleeves and sheer ribbed trim, styled with a low-slung skirt cut with a pointed apron front and sheer side panels.
Gabrielle joined Gold House’s fifth annual Gold Gala on Saturday at The Music Center in Los Angeles, where the organization gathered its annual mix of actors, artists, athletes and industry figures for AAPI Heritage Month. This year’s event, themed “A New Gold World,” drew guests including Priyanka Chopra Jonas, Eileen Gu, Simu Liu and Mindy Kaling, among others.
