6 Throwback Red-Carpet Looks from the 2013 Maxim Hot 100 Party — and the Iconic Heels Behind Them

More than a decade later, the 2013 Maxim Hot 100 Party still stands as a snapshot of early-2010s red-carpet glam—where body-con dresses, bold heels, and glossy hair reigned supreme.

Miley Cyrus may have been No. 1 on Maxim’s Hot 100 list that year, and she may have rocked gorgeous Saint Laurent sandals at the Hot 100 party, but she wasn’t the only rose in the crowd wearing unforgettable heels.

From Giuseppe Zanotti cutouts to glittering Taylor Says pumps, the night delivered a parade of statement shoes that defined the era’s maximalist aesthetic. Below, we revisit six standout looks that still deserve a spot in the Y2K-revival conversation—and maybe a little shoe envy, too.

Angela Simmons in Giuseppe Zanotti Butterfly Sandals

We’re starting our list with Angela Simmons and her uber-sexy Giuseppe Zanotti cutout sandals.

The daughter of hip-hop legend “Rev Run” wore a figure-hugging dress with a keyhole-detailed halter neckline. It was a very simple frock, but thanks to her blue-violet heels, she stood out from the crowd.

Kendra Wilkinson in Christian Louboutin Sandals

Perhaps she was a little underdressed for the event, but her seriously sexy Christian Louboutin sandals more than made up for it (even though her toes were practically spilling out of the shoes).

Golnesa Gharachedaghi in Snakeskin T-Strap Sandals

Persian heiress Golnesa Gharachedaghi arrived at the party’s green carpet in a floor-grazing beachy number that showed off her legs and, of course, her gorgeous designer heels.

A long outfit for the event would have been a tad much, but the crotch-high slit managed to turn her look into something more appropriate for the occasion. Besides, her T-strap sandals were really gorgeous.

Arianny Celeste in Christian Louboutin ‘Clou Noeud’ Heels

Standing 5ft 5 (165.1 cm) tall, American ring girl and model Arianny Celeste brought high-octane glamour to the event in a sequined black mini dress that sparkled under the lights.

The figure-hugging LBD perfectly suited the occasion, which she completed with red-bottom Christian Louboutin heels in her usual U.S. shoe size 7.5 for a polished, party-ready finish.

Jessica Sutta in Taylor Says ‘Lookie’ Pumps

Singer and songwriter Jessica Sutta chose to wear separates for the event; it was a two-piece that showcased her abs and legs.

Honestly, we can’t say we’re sold on the outfit, but those glittery red pumps from Taylor Says sure got our attention. The artwork on the outsoles actually gave her look some extra pow. You basically can’t help but take a second glance.
