Stars like Demi Moore, Olivia Palermo, Sofia Carson, and Bella Hadid graced the red carpet in stunning gowns and statement shoes. But while the dresses captured attention, the clear focal point of the night was, undeniably, their Chopard jewels, adding an extra layer of luxury and glamour to every ensemble.
Still, it’s worth noting how their choice of footwear complemented each look, with most choosing pumps that added timeless elegance.

Demi Moore: Nina Ricci Satin Pumps & Sculptural Black Tulle
Demi was a masterclass in style on the red carpet. Her black pumps looked simple at first glance, but then there were the tiny details. She wore a pair of Nina Ricci pumps, crafted in Italy from silk satin with sleek, pointed toes and slim stiletto heels. The real standout?
The openwork cutout on the heel gives it a chic, airy effect, while the sharp, vertical, bow-like extension at the back creates a dramatic, winged silhouette that makes her ankles look elongated.
The subtle geometric folds around the pumps added dimension and a bit of playful texture to an otherwise classic shoe. Her Nina Ricci satin pumps are on sale at Farfetch for $325, down from $950!

Demi’s outfit perfectly complemented her heels. She wore a Nina Ricci Fall 2026 two-piece set, pairing a tailored suit jacket with a voluminous skirt. The jacket featured notched lapels, long sleeves, and front pockets, with the hem casually folding over the skirt, which had a high-low silhouette made of layered sheer tulle, giving it a slightly undone yet feminine look.
Demi Moore, of course, finished everything with Chopard jewels, including a dazzling diamond floral necklace with a black choker band, matching earrings, and rings that added just the right amount of glamour.

Olivia Palermo: Silver Casadei “Alice” Pumps & Soft Pink Monique Lhuillier
Olivia Palermo wowed on the red carpet in a soft pink gown from Monique Lhuillier’s Fall 2026 collection with dazzling silver Casadei heels.
I loved the color combination here, and her Casadei “Alice” pumps really elevated the evening’s luxe vibes. Made in Italy from ultra-shiny silver calf leather, the metallic finish gave them this striking, reflective quality.
The pumps featured sleek, pointed toes and a classic D’Orsay silhouette that perfectly showcased the natural curves of Olivia’s feet. The slim ankle straps were lined with sparkling crystals that flowed down Casadei’s signature Blade heels, which had a sculptural curve that added elegance and a modern, architectural touch.
These Casadei 100mm Alice pumps are currently on sale at Farfetch for $1,299, down from $1,856.

Olivia’s Monique Lhuillier gown was soft and feminine, with a strapless, draped bodice that wrapped snugly around her torso. While slightly restrictive, it emphasized the structured waistline, giving the dress a polished and flattering silhouette.
The chiffon skirt then flowed effortlessly into a cascading train. It had a high slit that added a touch of daring, letting her leg peek through and balancing the pink’s sweetness.
Olivia accessorized with Chopard diamonds, including chandelier earrings and rings, and pulled her hair back so the earrings could really shine.

Sofia Carson: Liquid Silver Pumps & Caroline’s Couture Fringe Mini
Sofia Carson dazzled on the red carpet in a full silver look, and I have to say, her shoes really elevated the entire outfit.
She wore sleek silver pumps with pointed toes and stiletto heels, which were simple in silhouette, but the high-shine liquid finish of the leather made them impossible to ignore. They paired perfectly with her dress, adding to the effortless shimmer of her ensemble.

She wore a showstopping silver fringe mini dress from Caroline’s Couture, made from sheer fabric and covered in metallic fringes that shimmered with every step. They also featured delicate beaded heart details that added a playful, whimsical touch and swayed beautifully as she moved.
The retro-inspired fringe made the dress look fun and glamorous, blending vintage charm with a red-carpet-ready vibe. It had a sleeveless cut that highlighted Sofia’s sculpted arms and a short hemline that showcased her toned legs, creating a youthful, chic silhouette.
Carson styled her black hair in a neat bun with a center part, keeping the focus on her face. She wore smoky eye makeup with bold liner and mascara, balanced by a brown lip color that added warmth.
Of course, she finished the outfit with Chopard jewels, which included diamond drop earrings and matching rings that added just the right amount of sparkle.

Bella Hadid: Gold d’Orsay Pumps & Archival Elie Saab Couture
Bella Hadid was impossible to miss at the Chopard Gala, looking radiant in a shimmering champagne-beige gown paired with gold heels that elevated her entire look.
Her pumps had a metallic sheen that added an extra layer of luxe sparkle, and the d’Orsay cutout sides perfectly showcased the shape of her feet. The pointed toes, slim ankle straps, and sleek stiletto heels gave the shoes a sophisticated and elongated silhouette, while the gold hue complemented the warm tones of her gown and skin beautifully.

Hadid paired the gold pumps with an archival Elie Saab Fall 2004 Couture gown featuring a nude, sandy-beige mesh base covered in alternating rows of platinum-silver and soft antique-gold metallic sequins. The fitted, structured bodice featured a plunging sweetheart neckline, accented by a crystal-embellished brooch at the center, held in place by delicate shoulder straps.
I loved how the sequins seemed to cascade down the skirt, giving the gown a fluid, liquid shimmer. The skirt then flowed into soft chiffon with a ruffled hem and a short train, adding drama.
Bella styled her blonde hair in bouncy, voluminous curls that gave her a retro-glam vibe, perfectly complementing the gown’s shimmering tones. Her makeup was warm and glowing, with bronzed, luminous skin, subtly defined eyes, and a nude-pink lip that enhanced her natural features.
