We’re Still Obsessing Over Tessa Thompson’s Two-Toned Boots

Tessa Thompson’s boots were certainly made for walking (and sending in our fashion group chat).

Spotted out and about in Paris in an effortlessly cool and cozy evening look, the Hedda actress served a reminder that sometimes the entire outfit hinges on one impeccable piece. In this case, it was her Ami Paris anthracite black leather bicolor knee-high boots, a two-toned moment that quietly stole the spotlight.

There’s something irresistibly chic about a boot that knows it’s the main character. The contrast of the bicolor detailing adds just enough visual interest to elevate the look, while the sleek silhouette keeps things polished and wearable. Paired with a cozy shearling jacket, a relaxed knit, and a fluid skirt, the boots anchored the outfit, adding structure and edge to an otherwise soft, off-duty ensemble.

Two-toned boots have been creeping back into fashion’s good graces, and Thompson’s look makes a strong case for why they deserve a spot in the current rotation. They’re versatile enough to dress down denim or elevate an evening look, and bold enough to feel like a considered fashion choice rather than an afterthought.

In other words, if your winter wardrobe has been feeling a little too safe lately, consider this your sign to step it up. Preferably in a great pair of statement boots.
