This year’s BET Awards delivered unforgettable performances, surprise appearances and fabulous fashion. We spied a number of amazing footwear choices at the event, ranging from multi-strap Giuseppe Zanottis to red carpet staples like the Stuart Weitzman “Nudist” heels.
Here are some of the most memorable celebrity shoe styles from the 2017 BET Awards.
1. Yara Shahidi in Jimmy Choo “Annie” sandals
Yara Shahidi made quite the entrance at the event in a distressed sleeveless denim dress from Jonathan Simkhai, which you can get for $795 at Shopbop. It featured layered ruffles, flirty cut-out details, shredded denim, and an asymmetrical hem with worn edges. Jennifer Meyer hoop earrings added a hint of sparkle, while Jimmy Choo “Annie” sandals elevated her look. This denim look was a fashion risk that paid off beautifully, just like what model Imaan Hammam did in a head-turning double denim look at this year’s CFDA Awards.

The “Annie” sandals from Jimmy Choo have delicate ankle straps, a closed curved back, self-covered heels and leather lining. What makes these shoes stand out are the ostrich feather details and sequin embellishments. Perhaps you remember that Emma Stone wore them to the premiere of “La La Land”?
