The global premiere of The Twilight Saga: Breaking Dawn – Part 2, held on November 12, 2012, at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live, remains a landmark moment for red-carpet fashion.
While the event drew a star-studded guest list—including Elle Fanning, Bella Thorne, and Julianne Hough—it was the film’s lead, Kristen Stewart, who set the tone for the “naked dress” trend that would dominate the decade.

Stewart arrived in a daring nude lace gown by Zuhair Murad, a design that balanced intricate embroidery with provocative transparency.

While the gown’s sheer silhouette captured the headlines, the most critical detail for footwear enthusiasts was Kristen Stewart’s calculated choice of shoes: a pair of Jimmy Choo “Vibe” peep-toe platform pumps.
Crafted in nude snakeskin leather, the towering stiletto design featured a thick platform and open toe that subtly elongated her legs without distracting from the intricate Zuhair Murad lace.

Stewart returned to the same model again the following year—famously wearing one Jimmy Choo “Vibe” pump at the 2013 Oscars after injuring her foot.
The sky-high platform style was a red-carpet favorite of the era, later spotted on stars like Taylor Swift in metallic versions at the 2014 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show.

Kristen Stewart may be the star of the Twilight franchise, but new cast member Judi Shekoni turned heads at the London and Los Angeles premieres in November 2012.

At the Los Angeles screening, Judi wore a gorgeous ombre-colored high-low dress from Dutch designer ILJA (Visser)’s Fall 2012 collection.
And at the European premiere, it was another high-drama piece in black lace and yellow chiffon by Chagoury Couture. All in all, she pretty much upstaged the show’s lead stars.
