Looking back, the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards delivered one of the most eclectic red carpets of the decade — a blend of youthful energy and high-fashion experimentation.
Among the standout attendees, Chloë Grace Moretz joined Jordin Sparks, Nicki Minaj, Cher Lloyd, Victoria Justice, Kim Kardashian, Jennifer Lopez, Lucy Hale, Miley Cyrus, and Ariana Grande on the carpet at The Forum in Inglewood, California.

Then just 17, the If I Stay star brought a surprisingly polished sense to the event, opting for a look from the Louis Vuitton Resort 2015 collection — a richly embellished magenta top cinched at the waist with a matching belt, balanced by sleek, light-pink fitted trousers.
She finished the ensemble with pink patent-leather “Jane” sandals by Saint Laurent, featuring adjustable ankle straps, buckle closures, and glossy calfskin uppers that subtly echoed the high-shine aesthetic that dominated early-2010s footwear trends.

Revisiting the Look: From Controversial to Cult Classic in Saint Laurent’s “Jane” Sandals
At the time, some fashion critics felt the look skewed mature, suggesting the structured silhouette and pastel palette might have been better suited to someone twice her age.
Yet viewed a decade later, it reads less as a misstep and more as a bold experiment in red-carpet individuality, showcasing a 17-year-old confidently embracing designer sophistication long before her peers.
We’ve previously featured numerous celebrities wearing the Jane sandals, including Chrissy Teigen, Khloé Kardashian, Bella Thorne, Miley Cyrus, and Nicole Richie.
