Step out like Dakota in a pair of velvet Miu Miu sandals

Dakota Fanning arrived in Venice to to attend the famed international film festival wearing head to toe Miu Miu, and we are SO obsessed with this look.

The strapless gold jacquard dress was a stunner when paired with the lush burgundy velvet platform sandals. Velvet is huge this season and is a great way to add a luxurious element to your ensemble.

Shop the exact style she is wearing via the link to the right for $750 via Mytheresa. Style yours with skinny jeans and a cream colored sweater for the perfect fall look.
