For the June 2016 premiere of Finding Dory at the El Capitan Theatre in Hollywood, Sarah Hyland arrived in a bright, summery ensemble that mirrored the animated film’s aquatic palette.

Though the Modern Family actress wasn’t part of the voice cast, she attended the event to support her colleagues Ed O’Neill and Ty Burrell, posing against a “blue carpet” backdrop complete with sandcastles and bubbles.

Hyland’s look centered on a bold, striped “Nikola” midi skirt by Alice + Olivia, paired with a minimalist red crop top. To balance the skirt’s vibrant patterns, the petite actress chose neutral footwear that elongated her frame.

She wore a pair of nude patent leather “Cassie” sandals by Giuseppe Zanotti.
These stilettos are defined by a substantial 120mm heel and a wide ankle strap featuring an oversized buckle, a design choice that adds a modern, architectural edge to a classic platform-less sandal.

The petite American actress kept her accessories to a minimum, sporting only a few rings and a giant smile.

The Lipstick Jungle actress swept her brunette hair back into a ponytail and kept her makeup clean and simple.

Giuseppe Zanotti “Cassie” Sandals: The Power of a Single Strap
As this look shows, the right sandal doesn’t just complement an outfit—it defines its structure. Giuseppe Zanotti’s “Cassie” design, with its wide ankle strap and razor-sharp stiletto pitch, works like visual architecture: grounding bold silhouettes while lengthening the leg line with precision.
It’s a style that has quietly anchored some of the most striking red-carpet and event looks—always minimal, always commanding.
