Camila Mendes Channels Warrior Goddess Teela in $199 Metallic Femme LA Mules & Archival Cavalli Gowns

Camila Mendes has been serving major glamour throughout the European premiere of her sword-and-sorcery film, Masters of the Universe, and I love how her outfit choices subtly nod to her character’s classic warrior aesthetic while still looking modern and red-carpet ready.

Since Camila Mendes plays Teela, Captain of the Royal Guard in Masters of the Universe, her premiere wardrobe has subtly echoed the character’s strength and confidence.

For the London premiere, she opted for a custom white Anna October gown paired with metallic Femme LA heels, creating a soft, goddess-inspired look.

A day later in Berlin, she embraced a bolder mood in a vintage Roberto Cavalli leopard-print gown, trading ethereal elegance for unapologetic glamour.

Let’s take a closer look at her outfits.

London Premiere: Camila Mendes Wears Metallic Femme LA Heels and a White Anna October Gown

Camila Mendes fully embraced goddess glamour at the Masters of the Universe London premiere, and I loved how her metallic Femme LA “Sicilian” slipper mules kept the look sexy and modern.

Priced at $199, Femme LA’s “Sicilian” slipper mules reflected the brand’s minimalist approach to occasion footwear. Handmade with vegan uppers, the barely-there design featured slim metallic straps, including a thong-style detail between the toes and a second strap across the forefoot. The combination of metallic finishes and stripped-back styling gave the shoes a modern feel while aligning with the continued popularity of minimalist strappy sandals on red carpets.

With an open-toe, open-back silhouette and an 85mm (3.34-inch) stiletto heel, the mules delivered subtle height without competing with the gown. Their lightweight appearance complemented the fluid draping of Anna October’s design, adding polish while allowing the dress to remain the focal point.

The metallic mules paired seamlessly with Camila’s custom Anna October gown. Crafted in white silk, the design featured a dramatic plunging halter neckline, a knotted waist detail that defined the silhouette, and soft draping that reinforced the look’s modern goddess aesthetic.

It also had an open back that made her look even more alluring, while the floor-sweeping skirt draped beautifully around her figure, finished with a front slit that revealed her legs.

Styled by Molly Dickson, the look was completed with Retrofête’s “Sunset” necklace, a statement pearl bib necklace set in hammered gold-tone metal.

Mendes also wore icy blue contact lenses, a subtle reference to Teela’s appearance in Masters of the Universe. Together, the accessories helped connect the red-carpet look to the film’s fantasy world without feeling costume-like.

Berlin Premiere: Camila Mendes Channels Teela in Vintage Roberto Cavalli

For the Berlin premiere, Mendes embraced a more dramatic interpretation of Teela’s warrior spirit, stepping out in a vintage Roberto Cavalli leopard-print gown from the label’s Pre-Fall 2010 collection, trading London’s ethereal elegance for unapologetic glamour.

While the sweeping hem of the archival Roberto Cavalli gown kept her footwear out of view, height-enhancing shoes were almost certainly working behind the scenes. At 5’1¼” (155.6 cm), the Riverdale actress frequently uses elevated footwear to balance floor-length silhouettes, creating the long, uninterrupted line that allowed the leopard-print gown and dramatic train to make their full impact on the red carpet.

The asymmetrical off-the-shoulder strap added a sultry twist, with one side draped over her arm and the other sitting higher on the shoulder.

The figure-hugging fit was another standout detail. With corset boning through the bodice, the gown shaped Camila’s waist and highlighted her hourglass figure beautifully. From there, it skimmed down her body before flowing into a sweeping short train that added just the right amount of red carpet drama.

Accessories played an important role in reinforcing the film’s fantasy-inspired styling. Thick silver-toned cuffs on both wrists created an armor-like effect, while a simple open necklace added structure without distracting from the gown’s dramatic leopard pattern.

Roberto Cavalli’s fascination with animal prints continues to resonate on modern red carpets. At the Glamour Women of the Year Awards in Berlin on November 14, 2025, Heidi Klum embraced the house’s signature leopard motif in a shimmering Roberto Cavalli mini dress, pairing it with sheer black tights and classic pointed-toe pumps.

While Klum opted for a shorter, more playful silhouette, both looks demonstrated how Cavalli continues to reinterpret wildlife-inspired patterns for contemporary red-carpet dressing.

From Warrior Goddess to Modern Glamour: Camila Mendes Continues to Make Footwear Part of the Story

Whether she was embracing the soft elegance of metallic Femme LA mules in London or leaning into Roberto Cavalli’s signature animal-print drama in Berlin, Camila Mendes demonstrated how thoughtful styling can reinforce a character’s identity without feeling costume-like.

The contrast between the two looks showcased an impressive range, but both relied on the same principle: using fashion—and especially footwear—to support the narrative while maintaining a distinctly modern red-carpet presence.
