Bella Thorne and Jennifer Garner brought two very different takes on glamour to the Hollywood premiere of Alexander and the Terrible, Horrible, No Good, Very Bad Day at the El Capitan Theatre.
The then-16-year-old Thorne lit up the carpet in a bold tiered chiffon gown from Alberta Ferretti, paired with Stuart Weitzman’s iconic “Nudist” sandals.
Beside her, Garner delivered timeless sophistication in a black Valentino mini dress, elevated with Jimmy Choo “Kalpa” sandals and an Oscar de la Renta clutch. Together, the co-stars set the tone for an evening that blended youthful vibrance with classic elegance.
Red Carpet Drama: Bella Thorne in Alberta Ferretti and Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” Sandals

The then-16-year-old star opted for a bold color palette in a tiered chiffon gown from Alberta Ferretti, its plunging neckline and flowing silhouette adding a touch of drama to the family-friendly premiere.
She complemented the bold gown with soft waves, glowy makeup, and delicate layered jewelry for a youthful, polished finish
She finished the look with an Edie Parker clutch, Neil Lane jewelry, and a pair of Stuart Weitzman’s now-iconic “Nudist” sandals—a single-strap stiletto that dominated red carpets in 2014.

Other Celebrity Moments in Stuart Weitzman’s “Nudist” Sandals
While Bella Thorne embraced the minimalist silhouette early on, she wasn’t the only star turning to Stuart Weitzman’s “Nudist” heels. The barely-there sandal quickly became a Hollywood uniform, spotted on countless red carpets and styled in every color imaginable.
