Back in February 2018, Margot Robbie and Saoirse Ronan shared a chic fashion moment at the 90th annual Oscars Nominees Luncheon at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in California.
Before they competed against each other for Best Actress at the Academy Awards, the two rising stars had a playful style showdown of their own—both stepping out in luxe velvet sandals that turned heads on the red carpet.

Why the Saint Laurent “Amber” Sandal Became a Celebrity Staple
The Saint Laurent “Amber” is one of the house’s most enduring shoe designs—beloved for its minimalist silhouette, slim toe strap, and elegant ankle buckle. Offered in a variety of finishes from smooth leather to velvet and glitter, the Amber is versatile enough for red carpets, fashion week appearances, and even off-duty styling.
With heel heights typically ranging from a comfortable 85mm to a dramatic 105mm, the sandal strikes a balance between sophistication and wearability, making it a go-to choice for A-listers around the world.
