When it came to shoes, the Louis Vuitton ambassador wore a pair of grungy Vuitton ankle boots. The wedge-like style featured thick heels totaling at least 4 inches in height, with a faint asymmetric divide between the heel and sole. Her pair also included black leather uppers, squared toes and silver stud accents, often seen in rock n’ roll aesthetics. Jung’s footwear brought her outfit an effortless edge, adding to its carefree nature.
