I am not sure about the meaning of the verb ground in this sentence from an online article.
Accessories were kept polished and stylish with taupe suede Manolo Blahniks grounding the look and simple diamond stud Adina Reyter earrings for subtle sparkle.
Does ground mean connect with the ground, place on the ground, or give theoretical basis to? None of the dictionary definitions seem to work here. What does the sentence mean? Manolo Blahniks supposedly refers to a pair of shoes designed by Manolo Blahniks, but how do shoes ground a look?

"Establishing a neutral-toned foundation" is my take, where "foundation" has the sense of "main underlying color".
P.S. grounding also may have connotations of basic simplicity. There's nothing "flashy" about taupe.

Manolo Blahnik makes shoes, so the meaning is a pun. Shoes touch the ground, and in this case they also form the foundation of the ensemble.

I would say this is the figurative use of grounding to refer to something being reliable and practical. When a person has their feet on the ground, it means that they're sensible and focused on the immediate practicalities of the world around them, as opposed to someone who has their head in the clouds, constantly thinking about abstract ideas or fantasies.
In this case, it sounds like the article is saying that the shoes helped make the outfit as a whole practical and useful.
