At the second annual Diamond Ball held in Santa Monica in December 2015, Emily Ratajkowski opted for a streamlined silhouette that prioritized clean lines over high-drama embellishments.
At the event at The Barker Hangar, the model and actress chose a neutral palette, allowing her footwear to serve as the foundational element of the look.

Her ensemble featured a floor-length, one-shoulder gown by Rhea Costa, with a structured bodice and a thigh-high slit that highlighted her sandals.

Ratajkowski paired the minimalist dress with the Stuart Weitzman “Nudistsong” sandals in nude patent leather.
A slightly lower-heeled evolution of the brand’s iconic “Nudist” stiletto, the Nudistsong is defined by its delicate toe strap and adjustable ankle wrap, making it a recurring staple for red-carpet appearances due to its leg-lengthening effect.

While the styling was understated for a gala setting, the monochromatic approach highlighted the versatile nature of patent accessories.
By keeping her jewelry and hair polished but simple, the focus remained on the architecture of the Rhea Costa draping and the classic profile of the footwear.

👠 The “Nudistsong” Sandal as a Red-Carpet Constant
As this concludes our look at Emily Ratajkowski’s Diamond Ball styling, her choice of the Stuart Weitzman “Nudistsong” sits within a much wider pattern.
Across red carpets, press events, and even off-duty moments, the silhouette repeats for a reason: a low-profile toe strap, a softened pitch, and a clean ankle line that lengthens without distraction. It’s less about statement and more about control—letting the outfit lead while quietly refining proportion.
