English musician Aluna Francis of ‘AlunaGeorge’ was spotted on the red carpet in a very edgy and fun ensemble!

She wore a pair of Giuseppe Zanotti wedge sneakers with an all-white strappy cocktail dress. Her messy hair screamed rock and roll, and the metallic details of her hoes finished the theme perfectly! While some critics hated this fashion choice, I like the idea of juxtaposing sporty wedge sneakers with a sexy party dress. It’s very unexpected and fresh without being too over the top.

However, she could have benefited from a colorful studded clutch or a necklace for a little extra oomph and to bring the look together. A leather vest or some type of complementary outerwear could have worked as well. Nonetheless, I like her edgy and fun outfit.

Do you think these styles are as cool as Aluna’s pair? Incidentally she was seen in another pair of nontraditional red carpet shoes earlier the same month:

However, at the 2013 Brit Awards, she wore a stunning dress by Theyskens’ Theory and a more traditional pair of red carpet event shoes:
