Inside Mia Goth’s 2026 Oscar Heels: The Engineering of the Stuart Weitzman Nudist II and Roger Vivier’s Marlene Strass

Mia Goth brought romantic bridal energy to the 98th Academy Awards, stepping onto the red carpet in an all-white Dior ensemble paired with elegant Stuart Weitzman heels.

She joined a glamorous lineup of stars at the ceremony, where standout fashion moments included Jessie Buckley’s historic Best Actress win in Chanel with pink satin pumps, Priyanka Chopra’s feathered Dior gown paired with Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” pumps, Kate Hudson’s shimmering Armani ensemble styled with Aquazzura platforms, Anne Hathaway’s Valentino look finished with Roger Vivier heels, and Renate Reinsve’s striking Louis Vuitton ensemble paired with Giuseppe Zanotti “Intriigo” sandals.

Goth’s look leaned into a soft, bridal-inspired aesthetic that felt both romantic and slightly gothic—perfectly in tune with her distinctive red-carpet style.

Mia Goth Completes Her Bridal Dior Look With White Satin Stuart Weitzman “Nudist II” Sandals

For her shoes, Mia Goth chose the Stuart Weitzman “Nudist II” sandals, a minimalist style instantly recognizable to fashion insiders. She wore sleek white satin heels, a bridal-inspired finish that paired beautifully with the romantic feel of her Dior gown.

The design stays true to the iconic elements that made the original Nudist sandal a red-carpet favorite. A slim strap stretches across the toes while a delicate ankle strap fastens neatly around the ankle. At the back, the signature keyhole cut at the heel counter and a slender stiletto heel create the brand’s signature barely-there silhouette.

The Nudist II is a modern update of the original Nudist sandal, reworked with subtle engineering changes to improve comfort while maintaining its famously minimal design. The updated version features discreet cushioning in the footbed for added shock absorption, addressing one of the biggest complaints about the original style. The toe strap has also been redesigned with a slight arch and higher coverage to better secure the foot.

Construction has been refined as well. Stuart Weitzman describes the Nudist II as one of the brand’s lightest designs, with reengineered internal components that reduce weight without sacrificing stability. The heel counter now curves more naturally around the foot, exposing more of the arch and enhancing the sandal’s signature “naked” effect.

The Stuart Weitzman Nudist II sandals are available in a variety of materials and finishes at Nordstrom and Farfetch.

Inside Mia Goth’s Romantic Bridal-Inspired Dior Gown With Lace Appliqués and Ruffled Tulle

Goth kept the all-white theme going with a custom Dior gown that perfectly matched her satin sandals. The dress was made from layered sheer mesh fabrics, creating a soft, draped effect throughout the silhouette. For added texture and a gentle sparkle, delicate floral lace appliqués and tiny crystal beads were scattered across the gown.

The bodice featured a plunging V-neckline trimmed with scalloped lace. Enhancing its romantic feel, one shoulder was adorned with floral appliqués that resembled soft petals resting along the strap. The skirt wrapped slightly at the front, creating a daring slit that revealed her leg as she walked, while layers of sheer ruffles cascaded downward, adding volume and movement before extending into a soft train.

Mia Goth styled her hair straight with face-framing bangs and kept the jewelry minimal, wearing Dior Couture mismatched white-gold earrings set with diamonds, letting the dress’s delicate details take center stage.

Mia Goth Switches to Roger Vivier “Marlene Strass” Sandals for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party

After the Academy Awards wrapped up, Mia Goth stepped out again for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, this time in Roger Vivier heels with another custom Dior gown by Jonathan Anderson. I found this look even more interesting than what she wore to the Oscars earlier. It felt modern, a little unexpected, and very fashion-forward.

For her shoes, Mia wore the Roger Vivier “Marlene Strass” sandals, the same pair seen earlier on Anne Hathaway on the Oscars red carpet.

The heels were crafted from satin, and the soft sheen instantly elevated the whole look. The design featured a slim strap across the toes and another delicate strap around the ankle, fastened with a crystal-encrusted buckle that added just the right amount of sparkle.

One detail that really stood out was the crystal sphere threaded through the stiletto heel. It looked like a tiny disco ball, giving the otherwise minimalist sandals a playful, glamorous twist. The open-toe squares also gave the heels a trendy finish.

The Roger Vivier Marlene Strass sandals are available for $903, down from $1,290, at Net-a-Porter.

A Sculptural Dior Bustle Dress and Messika Diamonds Define Mia Goth’s After-Party Look

Mia paired the heels with a custom Dior gown designed by Jonathan Anderson. From the front, it looked simple and sleek in black with a convex neckline and a softly rounded draped skirt. But the back brought a completely different twist.

The gown featured a white tulle bustle that contrasted sharply against the smooth black front. It resembled a tutu made of layered shimmering tulle that flared out and ended just below her knees. I loved how the mix of minimal and theatrical details made this dress feel bold without being overwhelming.

Mia styled her hair in a chic bun for the after-party and finished the look with Messika jewelry, including the Tamara diamond necklace and the Puzzle Divine Enigma earrings, adding a final touch of sparkle.
