Lea Michele arrived at the Soho House in Los Angeles on August 8, 2016, for the FOX Summer TCA Press Tour.
Known for a red carpet aesthetic that favors structured silhouettes and bold textures, the Scream Queens star chose a look that balanced the romanticism of floral embroidery with the sharp, minimalist lines of fuchsia footwear.

The appearance served as a practical study in color blocking, with her co-stars Emma Roberts and Keke Palmer.
By pairing a multi-colored Marchesa mini with vibrant Stuart Weitzman sandals, Michele demonstrated how a singular, saturated hue can pull together an intricate pattern.
Years later, the ensemble remains a clear reference point for late-summer event dressing, rooted in classic proportions and a punchy palette.

It was not the first nor the last time she’d wear a dress by Marchesa. A few years earlier, she paired Jimmy Choo shoes with a white Marchesa Spring 2012 fringe dress and jewelry from American designer Lorraine Schwartz.

Loose Waves, Smoky Eyes, and Bare Accessories Complete Lea Michele’s Sultry Glam Look
Lea went bare-necked and accessorized the look with several rings. The “Glee” actress wore her long, dark tresses in loose waves that cascaded over her shoulders.
She also sported smoky kohl-rimmed eyes and nude lipstick, both of which heightened the look’s sultriness.

Why Stuart Weitzman’s Iconic “Nudist” Sandals Remain a Celebrity Red-Carpet Favorite
Lea completed her look with a pair of fuchsia satin Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” sandals—an iconic style that has become a red-carpet staple since its 2013 debut. Designed by Stuart Weitzman after 19 meticulous design trials, the Nudist was created to solve a specific wardrobe dilemma: finding a versatile heel that could seamlessly complement last-minute outfit changes.
The result? A minimalist, barely-there silhouette featuring just two delicate straps—one across the toes and an adjustable ankle strap—that frame the foot while offering just enough support. Set on a slim 4.5-inch heel and finished with the brand’s signature keyhole detail at the back, these sandals have earned their place as a go-to choice for celebrities and stylists alike, balancing elegance, versatility, and comfort in one sleek package.
You can check out these Stuart Weitzman sandals in different versions on Zappos and Nordstrom.
