Bellamy Young Wears Rare Marchesa Wedge Sandals at ELLE Women in Hollywood Awards

We’ve always loved striking shoes—especially from a fashion house known more for couture gowns than footwear. It is fascinating to see how non-shoe-specialty brands translate their design DNA into heels, sandals, or wedges.

Back in 2016, one such label memorably stepped into the footwear space: Marchesa. Known for its ethereal, red carpet-ready dresses, the brand surprised us with ornate wedge sandals that captured the same romantic flair in shoe form.

Actress Bellamy Young gave us a glimpse of Marchesa’s rare venture into footwear when she attended the ELLE “Women in Hollywood” Awards in Los Angeles.

Founded in 2004 by designers Georgina Chapman and Keren Craig in New York City, Marchesa is an American high-end women’s fashion label known for its romantic, feminine, and red carpet–worthy designs. Inspired by Italian socialite Marchesa Luisa Casati, the brand has become a go-to for celebrities seeking ethereal gowns and bridal wear.

🌸 Bellamy Young Wears Whimsical Couturissimo x Michael Cinco Gown That Misses the Mark

Bellamy arrived on the red carpet in a floral-embroidered gown by British label Couturissimo. Designed in collaboration with renowned Filipino fashion designer Michael Cinco, the dress was part of the Couturissimo x Michael Cinco collection and aimed to deliver a whimsical, ethereal vibe.

However, the layered silhouette and bold floral print slightly overwhelmed her frame, making the overall look feel less polished than expected, especially compared to her more tailored red carpet choices.

The then-46-year-old finished her look with a clutch from Lee Savage, jewelry from Sylva & Cie, and her Marchesa “Allie” wedge sandals.

👠 Marchesa’s Ornate “Allie” Wedge Sandals Steal the Spotlight

While this isn’t one of Bellamy’s best looks, we’re grateful she brought the Marchesa “Allie” wedge sandals to life.

Marchesa has gained worldwide popularity due to its ethereal dresses in flowy fabrics, so we were pretty intrigued about how the brand’s aesthetic would translate to footwear. While bold and sculptural, the shoes remain a standout example of Marchesa’s romantic design DNA translated into footwear.
