Attending the event at the Dream Hotel, Teigen used the red carpet to showcase her own design work, arriving in a look that balanced evening glamour with textural contrast.
Chrissy Teigen paired her shimmering velvet-accented Chrissy Teigen x Revolve gown with minimalist Le Silla “Award” sandals
She wore the “Jet Lagged” maxi dress from her own Chrissy Teigen x Revolve collection. The floor-length piece features a deep navy-and-black palette, highlighted by a wraparound waist and velvet accents with a subtle metallic sheen.
To complete the ensemble, she opted for a structured glitter clutch and anchored her outfit with a pair of minimalist, high-shine sandals that complemented the metallic flecks in her dress.
While the silhouette is frequently compared to the Giuseppe Zanotti “Harmony”, Teigen reportedly wore the Le Silla “Award” sandals for the occasion.
The design features three slender patent leather straps and a structured heel counter, providing a sharp, modern finish to the heavily textured velvet maxi dress.

Teigen’s sleek evening sandals reflected the growing dominance of minimalist Italian strappy heels on late-2010s red carpets. The delicate three-strap silhouette was especially popular among celebrities looking for shoes that added polish without competing with heavily textured gowns or embellished eveningwear.
Other stars also embraced Le Silla’s barely-there “Award” sandals during the era. Kristen Stewart styled the same heels with a Chanel Resort 2018 look at the Cannes Film Festival, while Heidi Klum later wore the strappy sandals with an Alexandre Vauthier Couture dress during the America’s Got Talent semifinals.
The recurring silhouette helped cement Le Silla’s “Award” sandals as one of the defining minimalist evening-shoe styles of the period.
