Camila Cabello’s red carpet appearance at the 2019 American Music Awards in Los Angeles remains a notable example of tonal styling.
Arriving at the Microsoft Theater on November 24, 2019, the singer-songwriter opted for a monochromatic palette that sparked debate among fashion critics for its muted effect against her complexion.
Shawn Mendes and his then-girlfriend Camila Cabello won the award for Collaboration of the Year for their song “Senorita” and also performed during the show
The centerpiece of her look was a nude strapless Oscar de la Renta Spring 2020 gown featuring a bustier bodice and draped tulle.
While she joined Shawn Mendes to perform their hit “Señorita,” her choice of accessories—including Djula jewelry and hoop earrings—kept the focus on the intricate embroidery of the dress.

For footwear enthusiasts, the highlight was her choice of sky-high platforms. Cabello elevated the delicate tulle hem with Jimmy Choo’s Pearl platform sandals.
Camila Cabello’s choice of Jimmy Choo’s iconic Pearl platform sandals places her in notable company on the red carpet. The sculptural, sky-high design has also been worn by Hailey Baldwin at the MTV Video Music Awards and again at the Maxim Hot 100 Party, where the dramatic platform balanced ultra-short hemlines with ease.
The same Jimmy Choo Pearl silhouette appeared on Amy Adams at the Venice Film Festival, while Victoria Justice relied on the style’s statement ankle strap for a sequined premiere look.
Even Ashley Graham’s memorable Time 100 Gala moment underscored how the Pearl platform has become a red-carpet staple, valued for its ability to add height, drama, and stability under gowns, jumpsuits, and performance-ready looks alike.
While the “Pearl” is no longer in production, the chunky platform remains a red-carpet staple for balancing high-volume tulle; you can find the latest iterations of this silhouette and similar Jimmy Choo platform sandals at Nordstrom.
