Demi Lovato Rocks Balenciaga Blade Pumps in Sleek All-Black Look at Elton John’s Viewing Party

Former Disney darling Demi Lovato appeared at the 2022 Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Awards Viewing Party.

She wore her signature buzz cut, bold smoky eye, and fresh lip color. The singer turned heads in a sleek, form-fitting black Balenciaga gown with a dramatic scarf, flowing train, and elegant black gloves.

The only portion of Lovato‘s skin visible was her face, making for a daring yet fashion-forward look. Demi also rocked slip-on leather Blade pumps from the same fashion house featuring an eye-catching closed, pointed toe, and comfortable block heel.

Black remains a popular red carpet choice for its timeless elegance and association with Hollywood prestige. While Lovato wasn’t up for an award, her dramatic Oscar ensemble still delivered a winning fashion statement.

The Camp Rock star is best known for her music career. In recent years, she has been more vocal about social justice issues, particularly LGBTQIA+ rights, as she identifies as pansexual and non-binary.

The singer has also made headlines in recent years due to her struggles with mental health, particularly substance abuse.

After attempting a California sober lifestyle – abstaining from all substances aside from marijuana – Lovato has now committed to being sober.

Before her striking Balenciaga appearance, Lovato had already made headlines with earlier red carpet moments that marked her return to the spotlight.
