At the TIME 100 Next gala at Pier 17 in New York City on November 14, 2019, Camila Cabello leaned into one of the decade’s most recognizable night-out formulas: a blazer dress paired with dramatic over-the-knee boots.
The six debut covers of TIME’s inaugural TIME 100 Next issue spotlight rising figures across entertainment, business, politics, and sports, including Camila Cabello, Awkwafina, Zion Williamson, Chanel Miller, Carlos Alvarado Quesada, and Emily Weiss
The singer wore a black Alexander McQueen blazer from the brand’s Fall 2019 collection, styled with fishnet tights and black suede Stuart Weitzman boots that extended well above the knee.
The contrast between the sharply tailored jacket and the soft suede boots gave the outfit a balanced, editorial feel that still reads modern years later.

Rather than competing with the oversized satin rose sleeves, Cabello kept the rest of the styling narrow and monochromatic. A velvet waist belt defined the silhouette, while the streamlined boots helped elongate the look without overpowering it.
Stuart Weitzman’s ‘Lesley’ boots were a natural fit for the outfit. The over-the-knee style featured a manageable 3-inch block heel and the brand’s signature tie-back detail, showing why stretch suede boots remained a red-carpet staple throughout the late 2010s.
