From Sculptural Drop Heels to a L’Oréal Runway Walk: Camila Cabello’s Bold Paris Shoe Moments

During Paris Fashion Week in Paris in September 2024, Camila Cabello leaned into two very different fashion moods: futuristic metallic dressing at the Rabanne show and classic black eveningwear on the L’Oréal Paris runway.

While the clothing drew attention, the footwear choices helped define each look. Cabello paired Rabanne’s signature silver chainmail with sculptural graphic-heel sandals from Jimmy Choo, then switched to sharp black pointed-toe pumps for a more streamlined runway appearance later in the week.

The contrast worked because both outfits stayed grounded in proportion and styling rather than shock value, showing how Cabello continues to experiment with fashion while keeping the shoe pairing central to the overall look.

Party-Ready in Rabanne Silver Mini Dress and Jimmy Choo Heels

Camila Cabello, who often mixes edgy and bohemian elements, looked party-ready at the Rabanne Spring 2025 show, clad in a silver ensemble from the Spanish fashion label.

I initially thought she was wearing a minidress, but upon closer look, I saw that she was sporting a halter top and a matching miniskirt.

The outfit, made of silver chainmail—a material iconic to the brand—consists of a loose-fitting halter top with a 3D floral accent and draped sides and a matching miniskirt cut several inches above Camila’s knees.

The side-slit miniskirt amplified the movement of Rabanne’s signature chainmail fabric, while the abbreviated hemline kept the focus on the metallic sandals and elongated leg line.

Stylist Kate Qian kept the accessories restrained, opting for dangling diamond earrings and minimal jewelry so the reflective chainmail texture and sculptural heels remained the focal points.

At one point outside the event, Camila draped a black leather biker jacket over her arms, adding a cool edge to the party vibe.

Cabello finished the monochromatic look with silver Jimmy Choo “Etana” sandals, whose curved drop heels added a modern, architectural element to the otherwise retro-inspired metallic styling.

They are characterized by their sculptural silhouette and graphic drop heels, which I particularly like. The elevated heel and slim ankle straps also helped lengthen the silhouette without competing with the texture-heavy outfit.

Dakota Fanning wore the Jimmy Choo Etana sandals during The Watchers photocall. They are available at Farfetch in two heel heights, 80mm and 95mm, allowing for a versatile choice depending on your style preference.

These sandals, crafted in Italy from metallic leather, are a sleek and contemporary update to a wardrobe classic. They feature crossover straps, square open toes, and adjustable ankle straps.

The Boys Don’t Cry singer rocked a variety of hairstyles during Paris Fashion Week. She looked straight out of the shower for the Rabanne show with a 1960s wet-look shaggy bob styled by Marty Harper. Its lengthy bangs, combed to the side, added to the sultry appearance.

Patrick Ta, meanwhile, used a hint of blush, matte nude lipstick, and cat eyeliner to emphasize Camila’s features.

Sexy and Sassy in a Black Velvet Mini Dress and Pointy Pumps

Wearing a black velvet minidress, Cabello looked confident as she walked the runway with several stunning models and other well-known faces at the L’Oreal Paris runway show during Paris Fashion Week.

Her LBD is simple yet striking and seductive with its thigh-skimming hem and low-cut strapless neckline! The ruching softened the structure of the velvet dress and added dimension under the runway lighting, while the pointed pumps kept the look polished and streamlined.

Keeping the neckline free of necklaces prevented the styling from feeling overly busy and allowed the clean strapless shape to stand out. She only wore a few rings, black tights, and shiny black pointed-toe pumps, adding an air of sophistication to the minimalist LBD.

For the L’Oreal Paris show, Camila styled her tresses straight with her signature bangs framing her runway-ready makeup!

Despite looking comfortable strutting her stuff on the catwalk, critics always pointed out flaws and made negative comments. A video of Camila walking the runway went viral, and netizens started making fun of her stride.

From Crystal Platforms to Sculptural Heels, Camila Cabello Keeps Her Footwear Playful and Unpredictable

Whether she’s stepping onto a Paris runway in sheer tights and pointed pumps or pairing metallic minis with futuristic sandals, Camila Cabello consistently uses shoes to shape the mood of her outfits.

Her style tends to shift between polished glamour and playful experimentation, but the footwear almost always ties the look together—especially on petite frames where proportion and silhouette matter. These standout moments show how Cabello balances statement fashion with equally memorable heels.
