The actress opted for the Lidia Slingback in Silver Mirrored Leather from Paris Texas, complementing her 1970s Saint Laurent dress with a striking high-shine finish. In addition to the arresting metallic colorway, the style features a sharply pointed toe and an ultra-narrow straight stiletto heel which the brand likens to a pin. The label recently expanded its popular Lidia family with the introduction of thong styles.

At the Actor Awards, Paulson also showcased a fall 1979 Saint Laurent look — a black long-sleeve dress with a deep V-neck and a unique pattern on the upper section which cut off in the middle of the skirt, leaving the rest solid black. The garment featured a fitted bodice and A-line skirt, in addition to subtly puffed shoulders.
