Karolina Kurkova, famous for not having a belly button, is the latest celeb to rock the knee-high gladiator sandals trend.

The model showed off her long legs in a minimalist version of the shoe style at the press conference for her latest TV project, “The Face,” held during NBC Universal’s 2013 Winter TCA Tour.

She styled hers with a knee-length black dress that featured a high neck and cutouts along the chest and shoulders.
