Her Giuseppe Zanotti sandals coordinated closely with the dress’s contrasting black panel, creating a sharper, more cohesive finish than a traditional neutral heel would have offered. Amy attended the premiere alongside co-star Goldie Hawn, who wore a custom Michael Kors Collection look.
The “Sophie” sandals were originally retailing for $650 at Farfetch.

Why Giuseppe Zanotti’s “Sophie” Sandals Became a Red-Carpet Favorite
During the mid-to-late 2010s, Giuseppe Zanotti’s “Sophie” sandals became a dependable red-carpet choice for celebrities who wanted a sleek, barely-there heel that would not compete with dramatic gowns or embellished tailoring. The design’s slim toe straps, delicate slingback closure, and tall stiletto heel photographed especially well on step-and-repeat carpets, making the silhouette popular for premieres, award shows, and fashion events.
Amy Schumer’s blue-and-black version fit neatly into that trend. The sandals echoed the contrasting panel details of her Antonio Berardi gown while keeping the overall styling streamlined rather than overly accessorized.
A number of other celebrities also wore the “Sophie” sandals during the same era. At the 2017 Golden Globe Awards, Heidi Klum paired black patent Giuseppe Zanotti “Sophie” sandals with a dramatic black-and-white J. Mendel gown, using the minimalist silhouette to balance the heavily embellished dress. She later revisited the same shoe in a monochromatic look, wearing red suede “Sophie” sandals with a matching Dundas gown at the Emmy Awards.

The style also translated easily to more fashion-forward evening looks. During Art Basel festivities in Miami, Heidi Klum styled black patent “Sophie” sandals with a sequined Saint Laurent jumpsuit, proving how adaptable the barely-there design was across different silhouettes and textures.
Even celebrities known for body-conscious, minimalist dressing gravitated toward the shoe. Emily Ratajkowski and Heidi Klum both wore Giuseppe Zanotti “Sophie” sandals with fitted Michael Kors Collection and Roland Mouret looks, reinforcing the sandal’s reputation as one of the defining red-carpet heel styles of the decade.
