Ashley Tisdale brought a dose of High School Musical nostalgia to Madrid while promoting her spin-off film Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure.

During her whirlwind press tour, the actress attended a morning photocall before switching things up for an afternoon autograph signing.

For her second appearance, she wore the AllSaints Aria black cowl-neck leather mini dress, pairing it with bold red open-toe booties for an edgy look that perfectly captured her playful yet fashion-forward style.

By 2011, Ashley Tisdale had become something of a style regular for us, thanks to her never-ending rotation of standout boots.

While many stars leaned on classic sandals or pumps, Ashley consistently made ankle boots and booties her signature—rocking them year-round, from fall/winter to the height of spring.

True to form, the 5′2½″ (158.8 cm) star gave her Madrid autograph-signing look a bold twist, pairing a sleek black leather mini dress with striking red open-toe booties. At a petite US shoe size 5.5, Ashley Tisdale used the vivid heels to add both edge and a leg-elongating pop of color to her ensemble.

These bold red booties were designed by Camilla Skovgaard, the Danish-born designer celebrated for her innovative, architectural footwear. Skovgaard launched her namesake line in the early 2000s after studying at London’s Cordwainers College and the Royal College of Art.

Her designs eventually retailed in more than 170 locations worldwide, earning her the prestigious Queen Elizabeth Scholar Award in 2007 and a nomination for Accessories Designer of the Year at the 2010 British Fashion Awards.

Later in life, disillusioned by the fashion industry’s waste, Skovgaard moved to Ibiza, where she founded Of Origin, a sustainable footwear and clothing brand crafted from natural fibers like jute and flax. Though she tragically passed away in 2018 at the age of 46, her legacy endures through her pioneering aesthetic and the eco-conscious brand she left behind.
