Christian Louboutin’s Red-and-Gold Croc Pumps Steal the Show at Blake Lively’s Holiday Event

Blake Lively kicked off the holiday season with the kind of effortless flair she does best. Stepping out to celebrate her Blake Brown haircare collaboration with Stoney Clover Lane, she wore a bold red satin corset dress by Annina, instantly setting a festive tone.

She finished the look with red-and-gold Christian Louboutin heels, adding a polished touch that enhanced the outfit’s holiday feel.

The event took place at Stoney Clover Lane’s West Village store in lower Manhattan, where guests were treated to hot chocolate topped with whipped cream, biscuits, and the chance to try Blake’s hair and beauty products.

Stoney Clover also set up a colorful accessory station, inviting everyone to decorate bags, necklaces, and bracelets. There were also interactive stations throughout the space, including decorating accessories, adding Timeless Pearly bag charms, hand embroidery with Tiger & Eloise, cookie decorating with Sugar Bloom Cookie, and even mahjong lessons with Oh My Mahjong.

With so many festive details, the night felt joyful, and Blake’s bright red look fit right in with the holiday spirit.

A Reimagined Ruby-Red Silk Taffeta Dirndl by Annina

Blake Lively always knows how to make a strong impression when she steps out, and this look was no exception. Her $1,456 ruby red Annina “Alice” dress instantly stood out for its balance of tradition and modern edge. Designed by the Bavarian fashion designer Annina, the dress draws inspiration from traditional Alpine dirndl silhouettes, refining them through a polished, high-fashion lens.

Crafted from lustrous crimson silk taffeta, the dress shimmered with every step, lending the look a jewel-toned depth that felt unmistakably festive yet refined. The structured, corseted bodice defined Blake’s silhouette, while a deep square neckline edged in soft red silk ruffles introduced a romantic counterpoint to the sharp tailoring.

Traditional details—including a front busk fastening and a lace-up back—grounded the design in classic corsetry, executed with a modern finish that felt elevated rather than theatrical.

From the fitted bodice, the dress flowed into a full tea-length skirt with soft pleats that added volume. I especially liked the addition of pockets, which made the design both practical and wearable despite its luxury.

Emerald Lorraine Schwartz Jewelry Paired With Soft Waves and Warm, Glowing Makeup

Instead of playing it safe, Blake leaned into contrast by pairing the red dress with emerald-green jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz. My instinct would’ve been gold—classic and festive. But this unexpected green was bold and unapologetic, and somehow that made it work.

The beaded necklace, featuring an agate teardrop gemstone, sat perfectly against the neckline, complemented by emerald statement rings and matching earrings. It was festive, yes, but also fearless!

Blake’s glam stayed soft and romantic. She wore her hair in voluminous curls that framed her face and cascaded down her shoulders, while warm, shimmering eyeshadow, peachy blush, and a pink lip kept everything fresh and glowing.

Red and Gold Croc-Embossed Heels with Crystal Straps and Dramatic Floral Appliqués

Now comes my favorite part. Instead of minimal heels, Blake went all in with red-and-gold croc-embossed Christian Louboutin pumps that looked just as festive as they were bold.

The crystal-encrusted straps across the vamp sparkled like a layered diamond necklace. At the same time, the oversized red velvet floral appliqués at the heel, trimmed with rhinestones, looked a little over the top but undeniably festive and striking.

Set on towering stilettos, they were dramatic, intricate, and completely unforgettable!

Time and again, Blake Lively returns to one designer to anchor her bold fashion moments—using statement heels not as an afterthought, but as the defining element of each outfit.
