Jessie J Radiates Confidence in Vintage Jean Paul Gaultier and Saint Laurent Sandals
The then-26-year-old English singer exuded confidence in a vintage emerald-green Jean Paul Gaultier gown, a striking piece defined by its draped, plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit that epitomized early-2010s sensual glamour.
She elevated the look with Stephen Webster rose-gold diamond earrings and a timeless footwear choice — black Saint Laurent “Jane” ankle-strap sandals, a minimalist favorite that perfectly balanced the gown’s dramatic fluidity.
