Sanchez’s footwear choice packed a statement. She wore a pair of Gianvito Rossi Flavia metallic gold sandals that peeked out from beneath the hem of her gown. The Greek-inspired design featured delicate leaf motifs and stem-like straps that wrapped around her feet, lending an opulent node to the “a celebration of spring” themed dinner.

The journalist and philanthropist opted for a daring crimson corset gown by Rasario. The off-the-shoulder silhouette boasted intricate lace detailing, accentuating her décolletage and featuring corset-style boning.

The Gianvito Rossi Flavia stiletto heel is a statement sandal designed with mirror-effect leather, showcasing an asymmetric design. The sandal features leather throughout the upper, sole, and lining, accentuated by its pointed open toe. The shoe stands 4 inches tall on a thin stiletto. For a different look, a flat version of the sandal is also offered. The shoe is available at gianvitorossi.com or at retailers including Net-a-Porter, Mytheresa and Farfetch.

Lauren Sanchez’s Shoe Style

Lauren Sanchez’s shoe collection is defined by her affinity for open-toe sandals that often give her a minimum 4-inch lift for professional outings. At Elle’s Women in Hollywood celebration last December, she donned a pair of jet-black peep-toe platforms, making a statement with her bold choice.

On the red carpet, Sanchez is frequently seen in versatile nude and black heels from labels like Christian Louboutin. While off-duty, Sanchez leans towards a more casual aesthetic, opting for sneakers from Alexander McQueen, Nike, Adidas, and Golden Goose, as well as Chloé’s rubber boots or a pair of gladiator-style sandals with thick crossed straps in neutral tones.
