Liza Koshy arrived at the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards on January 26, 2020, at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, wearing a striking monochromatic look that played with texture and transparency.
Her choice for the evening was a mini dress from the Pamella Roland Spring/Summer 2020 collection. The garment features intricate zebra-stripe patterning created with white sequins and black crystals. The design incorporates a plunging V-neckline, sheer mesh inserts throughout the bodice, and a fringed hemline that adds movement to the structured silhouette.

To complement the bold patterns of the dress, stylist Jason Rembert selected the Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Miria’ sandals.
That same month, Rachel Brosnahan wore the same heels at the 2020 Producers Guild Awards, styled with a crystal-embellished Michael Kors Fall 2019 fringe dress.

These Italian-made heels are defined by their suede construction and slender 4-inch stiletto heels.
The standout feature is the asymmetric crystal-embellished straps that wrap around the ankle and drape across the foot, providing a metallic contrast to the matte black suede.

Liza had her glam squad beautify her for the show. She had her hair styled in wet waves by Aviva Perea, while makeup artist Allan Avendaño glammed her up with dark, smoky eyeshadow, mascara, and nude pink lip gloss.

At just 5 ft ¾ in (154.3 cm), Liza Koshy has long leaned on statement heels to sharpen her silhouette—and these earlier red-carpet moments show how consistently she gravitates toward leg-lengthening styles.
From sky-high stilettos to sculptural sandals like Giuseppe Zanotti designs and the pearl-accented Nicholas Kirkwood “Penelope” sandals, her footwear choices do more than complete a look—they create it, adding height, polish, and a signature sense of confidence across every appearance.
