Now, the obvious question is, with her below-the-knee dress from Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2012 collection, do you think the American singer looked sexy in her ankle-wrap sandals or just plain short? Should she have picked a pair with no straps so her legs would look longer? Or perhaps worn a shorter dress instead?

Alicia’s black kid suede sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti feature super high 5-inch metal stiletto heels and barely-there half-inch thick platforms. You can find these sandals at Net-A-Porter, Shopbop and Neiman Marcus.
