While Taylor Swift wore white and picked a pair of PVC-detailed platform sandals from Christian Louboutin to go with her dress for the 40 Principales Awards, Alicia Keys opted for an all-black outfit. She finished her look with Vernier jewelry and black ankle-wrap sandals.

To recreate Alicia Keys’ chic look, pair a sheer-panel black midi dress with bold drop earrings, ankle-strap heels, and a voluminous updo for effortless sophistication
The big style question: Did Alicia Keys’ below-the-knee dress from Victoria Beckham’s Spring 2012 collection enhance her chic vibe, or did her ankle-wrap sandals give the illusion of shorter legs?
Could a strap-free sandal have streamlined the look, or would a flirty, shorter hemline have brought even more drama to her red-carpet moment?

Alicia’s black kid suede sandals from Giuseppe Zanotti feature super high 5-inch metal stiletto heels and barely-there half-inch thick platforms. You can find these sandals at Farfetch.

Alicia Keys’ affinity for Giuseppe Zanotti’s edgy designs is evident, as she previously showcased the brand’s fold-over zip ankle boots at KIIS FM’s 2012 Jingle Ball. This consistent choice underscores her penchant for bold, fashion-forward footwear that complements her dynamic style.
