In April 2019, Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson coordinated their looks at the 14th Annual Tribeca Film Festival Artists Dinner in New York City, both wearing contrasting black Chanel heels.
While their outfits followed the same dark Chanel palette, the footwear told two different stories: Cara opted for pearl-heel cap-toe booties from Chanel’s Fall 2017 collection, while Ashley paired her navy Chanel mini dress with chain-embellished slingback sandals that softened the look’s sharper tailoring.

Cara’s cap-toe Chanel booties stood out for their sculptural pearl heels, adding a polished finish to her otherwise rock-inspired leather look.

Ashley Benson opted for Chanel black leather sandals with chain embellishments on the straps.
Her navy Chanel Spring 2019 dress originally appeared on the runway layered beneath a matching stretch-crepe jacket, but Benson wore it on its own for a cleaner silhouette, keeping the focus on the accessories.

How Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson Made Matching Chanel Heels Feel Completely Different
While Cara Delevingne and Ashley Benson coordinated around Chanel’s signature black palette, their footwear choices reflected two distinct styling approaches.
Cara leaned into sharp tailoring and statement pearl-heel booties with a more rebellious finish, while Ashley balanced structured Chanel dressing with softer chain-detailed sandals and polished accessories.
Together, the looks captured how versatile Chanel heels can be across different red-carpet personalities and eras of the brand’s design language.
