She styled her look with a casual Brian Lichtenberg black tee featuring bold gold text, paired effortlessly with Alice + Olivia’s silk floral “Arthur” pants. To finish, the actress and singer-songwriter slipped into Charlotte Olympia’s “Dolly Island” platform pumps — a statement heel from the British luxury brand founded by Anglo-Brazilian designer Charlotte Olympia Dellal.
Known for whimsical yet glamorous creations often inspired by the Hollywood starlets of the 1940s and 1950s, Dellal’s designs have become red-carpet favorites for their playful mix of retro charm and modern drama.

Romantic Red Florals: Christina Milian’s Petite-Friendly Statement Pants
While her Charlotte Olympia pumps — retailing for $895 — are statement-makers on their own, what really drew our eye were the pants.
At just 5’0” (152.4 cm) and wearing a US shoe size 6.5, Christina Milian proved how bold prints can elongate a petite frame. These red floral trousers feel especially romantic, making them perfect for Valentine’s with their lush, photo-print design.
The pants, which are cropped, feature a tab-front waist, pleated front, slash pockets, back welt pockets, and belt loops—details that make them both chic and versatile. While undeniably unforgettable, their bold floral print means you’ll want to style them creatively to keep them fresh and exciting each time you wear them. Here are a few ways to make these statement pants shine:
- Casual Chic: Pair them with a crisp white t-shirt and trendy sneakers for a relaxed, off-duty vibe. Throw on a cropped denim jacket to complete the look.
- Office-Appropriate: Tone down the boldness with a sleek black blazer and classic pumps for a stylish yet professional outfit.
- Evening Glam: Dress them up with a fitted black or metallic top and strappy gold heels for an effortlessly glam evening ensemble.
- Seasonal Twist: Make them work year-round by pairing them with a cozy cream knit sweater and ankle boots for a chic fall or winter outfit.
These pants are perfect for turning heads, so don’t be afraid to experiment with different looks and let your personal style shine!
