Anne Hathaway’s Pregnancy Style: Custom Louis Vuitton Platform Heels & Brown Gown
Anne Hathaway gave off an earthy-goddess energy in an all-brown Louis Vuitton look that beautifully highlighted her pregnancy glow.
Although her shoes were mostly hidden beneath the flowing skirt, Hathaway reportedly wore custom Louis Vuitton heels in shiny brown satin. They boasted platforms, toe straps, ankle straps, and block heels that gave her extra height while still providing the support and stability she needed during pregnancy.
Hathaway paired her platform heels with a custom chocolate brown Louis Vuitton gown, inspired by a design from the French fashion house’s Fall 2026 collection. I loved how the all-brown color palette created such a sophisticated and timeless look.

Her LV dress featured a babydoll silhouette with a fitted leather bodice, accented with delicate ruffle trim along the neckline and structured darting at the bust. From the high waist, the gown flowed into a silk plissé skirt that moved beautifully down to the floor, creating a flattering silhouette.
She elevated the warm brown palette with a Bulgari Fluid Tanzanite choker necklace, adding a beautiful touch of color and elegance around her neckline.
Her wavy half-up, half-down hairstyle with soft face-framing strands added a vintage, feminine touch, while her neutral makeup kept everything polished and effortlessly elegant.

Lupita Nyong’o Wears Red Chanel Crochet Dress With Salone Monet Slingbacks
Lupita Nyong’o embraced a fiery red look in a bold Chanel dress, balanced with rich brown Salone Monet heels that softened the intensity of the vibrant shade. I loved how the warm brown sandals added a hint of contrast, allowing the dramatic dress to remain the main focus.
Her heels featured a minimalist design with a simple strap across the toes and a slingback strap around the heel, finished with a buckle fastening for a secure fit. Set on four-inch heels, the sandals added height and elongated Lupita’s silhouette. They were finished with padded insoles that gave the pair a more comfortable feel during a long red-carpet appearance.

Nyong’o paired her Salone Monet slingbacks with an avant-garde red Chanel openwork dress featuring a crochet-like lace design and intricate floral patterns, adding texture and an artistic touch to the look. Its bodice featured wide shoulder straps and a low-cut neckline, while scattered crystals added a delicate touch of shimmer throughout.
Lupita layered the dress over a black bodysuit for coverage. Below, the skirt continued the dramatic silhouette with an asymmetrical hem, adding movement and a modern edge to the design.
To complete the look, Nyong’o accessorized with Sauer jewelry, including the “Branch” earrings and “Axis” ring. Her sculpted hairstyle, shaped into rounded ring-like sections on top, added another artistic element that perfectly matched the boldness of the outfit.

Zendaya Wears Custom Louis Vuitton Pumps With White Lace Gown
Zendaya once again embraced an ethereal goddess aesthetic with a dramatic high-fashion twist, this time in a head-to-toe Louis Vuitton look.
Instead of her usual Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps, Zendaya opted for a custom pair of ivory satin Louis Vuitton heels. The glossy satin finish added a soft, luxurious touch to the look, beautifully complementing her delicate white gown.
Staying true to her love for the classic pointed pump silhouette, the shoes featured sharp pointed toes, low-cut sides, and sleek stiletto heels, creating a timeless, elegant shape. Although I do think this shoe style has become a little predictable from her, I have to admit they worked perfectly with her ethereal outfit.

Zendaya paired the heels with a custom floor-length white Louis Vuitton gown made from delicate gauzy lace with intricate floral embroidery. The dress featured a striking center cutout, creating a plunging bralette-style bodice held together by floral-embroidered shoulder straps. Scalloped lace edges added a romantic touch, while the skirt flowed into a floor-length silhouette with a thigh-high slit and a sweeping train that trailed behind her.
Adding even more drama, Zendaya layered the gown with a matching cropped jacket featuring oversized sleeves covered in voluminous, sheer ruched tulle and lace ruffles.
She accessorized the look with Messika Diamond Frequencies earrings, a statement choker necklace, and Jessica McCormack rings. Her sleek, braided crown and light-blue eyeshadow finished her look perfectly, giving her a true modern-goddess aura.

Charlize Theron Wears Custom Dior Sandals With Sheer Lace Gown
Charlize Theron showcased a gothic romance aesthetic in a custom Dior ensemble from head to toe.
She slipped her feet into a pair of simple yet sophisticated black satin sandals featuring architectural squared open toes, slim ankle straps, and open sides that highlighted the shape of her feet. The minimalist design allowed the gown to remain the main focus, adding just the right amount of sleekness to the overall outfit.
Set on slender stiletto heels, the sandals gave Theron added height and a graceful silhouette, perfectly complementing the black accents of her dress and completing the look’s dark romantic vibe.

Theron paired the sandals with a custom gown by Jonathan Anderson, reimagined from a piece in Dior’s Fall 2026 Ready-to-Wear collection. The dress featured a semi-sheer white lace base layered with black floral lace appliqués, creating a striking contrast and a romantic yet mysterious feel. The highlight was the voluminous black fabric gathered around the waist, forming a sculptural peplum-like detail that added drama and shape.
I loved how the gown followed Charlize’s slim silhouette with its plunging V-neckline and floor-length column skirt. It was finished with a thigh-high slit that brought a modern edge, adding a touch of boldness to the elegant design.
Skipping a necklace, Theron let her Dior jewelry shine, wearing Delicat High Jewelry Collection earrings, the Diorissima High Jewelry Voie Lactée Double Ring, and a Diorexquis High Jewelry Collection Ring to complete the glamorous look.
