How Dixie & Charli D’Amelio Turned Opposite Red Carpet Styles Into a Footwear Empire

At the Nickelodeon Kids’ Choice Awards held at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica on April 9, 2022, sisters Dixie and Charli D’Amelio arrived in two distinctly different looks that reflected their evolving personal styles.

Dixie embraced Balmain from head to toe, pairing a sculptural white crop top and quilted skirt with matching runway sandals, while Charli opted for a sparkling David Koma mini dress styled with sheer black Jimmy Choo mesh pumps.

Their contrasting footwear choices—Dixie’s futuristic Balmain heels and Charli’s classic pointed pumps—offered two very different takes on red-carpet dressing.

Highlighting her slim figure, the eldest of the D’Amelio sisters wore a white Balmain Fall 2022 outfit that included a sleek, sleeveless, square-neck crop top with sculpted cutout cups and a matching slim-fit quilted midi skirt.

Dixie later put her monochromatic Balmain look to the ultimate Kids’ Choice Awards test when she was covered in the show’s signature green slime while accepting the Favorite Social Media Star award.

The social media personality styled her look with a pair of long, triangular earrings and some rings.

Her long raven tresses were pulled back into a center-parted ponytail, while her eyes were highlighted with winged eyeliner and mascara.

Completing her ultramodern all-white look were Balmain heels from the same Fall 2022 collection. They feature mesh uppers with multiple thick hook-and-loop straps and 4-inch sculpted heels.

Meanwhile, her younger sister, Charli, opted for a shimmering mini dress from David Koma.

Showcasing her slender dancer legs, the $1,880 A-line mini is made from sheer, recycled sequins and stretch-cady and features a contrasting black frame detail and delicate spaghetti straps.

The TikTok celebrity also bagged an award that evening. She won the Favorite Female Creator award, beating out the likes of Addison Rae, Miranda Sings, and Lexi Rivera.

The young dancer layered several crystal choker necklaces and further accessorized with earrings and rings.

She then wore glittery eyeshadow to match her outfit and styled her long tresses straight with a middle parting.

Charli rounded out her look with a crystal anklet and a pair of Jimmy Choo black pumps with mesh uppers, pointed toes, ankle straps, and high heels.

How Dixie and Charli D’Amelio Turned Opposite Fashion Personalities Into a Footwear Brand

Although Dixie and Charli D’Amelio often arrive on the same red carpet, their style choices rarely mirror one another. Charli typically gravitates toward feminine silhouettes, sparkling minis, and towering platform heels, while Dixie favors a moodier aesthetic built around structured tailoring, leather, combat boots, and sleek pointed-toe styles.

Those contrasting tastes have become a defining part of their public image and are reflected in D’Amelio Footwear, the sisters’ affordable shoe label launched under the family’s D’Amelio Brands umbrella.

From everyday sneakers and chunky boots to dressy heels and platforms, the collection draws directly from the distinct fashion identities they have cultivated through years of red-carpet appearances, festival looks, and brand collaborations.
