At the 92nd Academy Awards at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on February 9, 2020, Brie Larson stepped onto the red carpet in a shimmering custom Celine creation by Hedi Slimane.
Nominated that evening through Avengers: Endgame, which received a Best Visual Effects nomination, Larson embraced a head-to-toe sparkle theme that extended all the way to her footwear.

Styled by Samantha McMillen, Larson completed her custom Celine look with matching strappy Celine sandals that almost disappeared against her skin tone.
The custom gown featured a plunging neckline, dramatic cape sleeves, and a thigh-high slit that occasionally revealed the coordinating strappy sandals.
The delicate strappy silhouette created an almost barefoot effect, complementing the gown’s shimmering embellishments without distracting from them.

Larson’s custom Celine sandals featured slim crystal-embellished straps in a pale champagne shade that closely matched both her skin tone and the gown’s shimmering embroidery.
The minimalist design ensured the hand-embroidered dress remained the focal point while still tying seamlessly into the overall look.
Because the delicate straps blended almost invisibly against the red carpet, some fashion observers initially mistook the shoes for bare feet.
