According to WWD, the "Ted Lasso" star arrived at "The Jennifer Hudson Show" in Burbank on Monday wearing an Et Ochs Rumi Knit Top and Oaklynn Knit Skirt set — a tiger- and zebra-print turtleneck and pencil midi skirt in deep cognac and black.

Stylist James Yardley's play, WWD notes, was to anchor the bold two-piece not with an obvious black pump but with a pair of all-white shoes as the foundation of the look.

WWD reports that a black pump would have been the easy pairing given the black details woven through the cognac-and-black print. Choosing white instead, the outlet says, helped elongate Waddingham's leg and gave the ensemble a captivating contrast.

The magazine also notes she is known for using her shoes as the anchor of her look, which explains why the pump selection — not the print itself — is what the write-up centers on.

The pump in question, per WWD, is the Manolo Blahnik BB 105 in white calf leather — a pointed-toe style with a 105mm stiletto heel, roughly four inches, and a low-cut top line whose sides are cut away to expose the arch and inner sides of the foot.

WWD adds that the shoe is famously named after Brigitte Bardot, whom Blahnik calls one of his greatest inspirations, first designed in 2008 and retailing for $895, with a following that includes Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton. Yahoo carried the same Footwear News report.

Cosmopolitan UK spotlighted the other half of the appearance: Waddingham's curled, chin-length bob paired with bottleneck bangs, shared on her Instagram reel from the show.

The magazine explains the fringe starts tapered at the root and curves longer at the cheekbones, mimicking a bottle's silhouette and drawing attention to the eyes and cheeks. Cosmopolitan argues the cut is far lower-maintenance than a blunt bang because it blends into the hair as it grows out.

The same talk show stop generated a headline of its own. Fantha Tracks reports that Waddingham declared "I am obsessed with Star Wars" and put it into the universe that she would love a role in that galaxy, saying the type of part does not matter to her.

The outlet points to her existing Lucasfilm connection through the third episode of "Willow" as a reason to expect her in the franchise someday.

What comes next is the ripple effect. As WWD's framing shows, the story here is not the outfit but the styling logic — using one immaculate neutral to cut through a loud print — a formula daytime guests and their stylists will likely copy this fall.

And with the BB pump already a signature for red-carpet A-listers and royals, a high-profile daytime turn in white calf leather only reinforces the style's reach. Cosmopolitan, meanwhile, expects readers to book the bottleneck-bangs-and-bob combo, calling it a style you "simply can't go wrong" with.
