Great film! Though I can't see his footwear in that pic.
In most cases one wouldn't dream of pairing a loafer with a suit except for very casual summer seasonal suits like linen or seersucker. But there are some very sleek, minimalist non-penny slippers like the Lobb Lynton or EG Royal Albert that could work, particularly in black calf.
And of course, burgundy tassel loafers with suits was a historical "uniform" among lawyers and politician types in the 70s and 80s...
Oh, he's rocking black calf loafers there. There are a few bugs devoted to sartorial movie style—with many posts on CG's sense of style, especially between 1949 to about '62 or so. It's been noted in a few places how he willingly broke the "no loafer rule". But he put his look across with such confidence, and subtlety that it always worked.
It's good to be Cary Grant I guess.
