The most notable element of the outfit was the choice of footwear: the “Kilo” mule from EGO Shoes. These heels feature a clear perspex upper—a signature trend of the late 2010s—combined with a sharp stiletto and a black patent finish.
While styles evolve, these affordable statement heels remain a versatile example of the “naked shoe” aesthetic.

Joining her sister on the carpet, Maddie Ziegler provided a sharp color contrast in an electric-blue ensemble from Area. Standing at approximately 5ft 5 (165.1 cm), Maddie’s height gave the duo a tiered silhouette as they posed together.
