In honor of Día de los Muertos, FootwearNews is celebrating the best looks from Carlos Eric Lopez’s orange-carpeted gala.
Jesse Garcia and Eva Longoria
Accompanied by “Flamin’ Hot” actor Jesse Garcia, Longoria donned what appeared to be platform heels in black. The lofty pair is akin to styles the thespian has worn and re-worn in the past, creating both length and height. More vertically challenged celebs like Sabrina Carpenter, Ariana Grande and Sofia Vergara have all utilized this styling trick to create the illusion of a loftier stature.
Paired with her sky-high footwear, Longoria wore a black floor-length gown made of a whispy sheer fabric. The playful garment featured sheer paneling and a strappy bodice.
Nicole Richie
Turning heads, the “Candidly Nicole” star partied hard in a floor-length leopard print dress. The garment was form-fitted and strapless. Although they weren’t visible, it is likely the reality star wore some sort of platform shoe that elongated her silhouette, likely from one of her favorite brands like Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin, Stella Luna and Miu Miu.
Rachel Zoe
The fashion designer graced the orange carpet in a pair of glossy platform heels, an on-trend style of the night. The sky-high footwear choice featured high-shine black patent leather uppers that transitioned into triangular toes and thick platform soles. Thin straps appeared to wrap around Zoe’s ankles, securing the shoe pick in place. 4 to 5-inch block heels rounded out the set, making Zoe appear larger than life.
Accompanying her towering platforms, the businesswoman sported a black floor-length gown fixed with glittering sequin long sleeves.
Miguel
The “Sure Thing” singer graced the gala in ultra-chic dress shoes. The red carpet-red choice included leather uppers in black, unique angular metallic silver square toes and lace-up closures. Short stacked block heels rounded out the set. Dress shoes are a staple item in many male celebs’ closets.
Simple but sophisticated, the performer wore a black tailored suit and silver statement jewelry.
Mishel Prada
Mishel Prada flattered her feet in a pair of Rene Caovilla Chandelier Total sandals in black as seen on models at the 2024 Victoria’s Secret fashion show. The playful pick featured 4.1-inch stiletto heels, hand-applied rhinestones and eye-catching serpent hardware.
Matching the dressy vibe of her footwear, Prada wore a sheer black gown fixed with a floor-length train that trailed dramatically behind her. The garment included a keyhole cut-out and a strappy bodice.
