Emmy Rossum’s 2013 Style File: From Archival Jimmy Choo “Vendetta” Sandals to Pour La Victoire

At the 37th Annual Saban Community Clinic benefit gala at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills on November 25, 2013, Emmy Rossum stepped away from the classic red-carpet gown formula in favor of a sharply tailored Naeem Khan look built around embellished black separates and crystal-detailed Jimmy Choo sandals.

The outfit worked because it balanced evening glamour with clean structure. Rather than competing with the intricate beadwork on the sheer top and matching trousers, Rossum’s black suede Jimmy Choo “Vendetta” heels grounded the look and kept the focus on texture, shape, and movement.

Rossum wore a sheer open-back top with coordinating embellished trousers from Naeem Khan’s Spring 2014 collection, creating a rare red-carpet moment in which the tailoring and footwear carried as much visual weight as the embellishments themselves.

She kept her styling restrained, wearing her hair tucked behind her ears to highlight Chopard diamond earrings while letting the black suede Jimmy Choo “Vendetta” sandals add the final evening touch.

The crystal embellishments echoed the detailing in her Naeem Khan separates without overwhelming the monochrome palette.

Jimmy Choo’s “Vendetta” Sandals Captured the Glamorous Spirit of 2010s Red-Carpet Style

Jimmy Choo’s “Vendetta” sandals reflected the ultra-glamorous eveningwear mood that dominated much of the early-to-mid 2010s red carpet era. Built around sharp, cage-like suede straps and Swarovski crystal embellishment, the design blurred the line between a sandal and a piece of jewelry.

The style’s narrow crystal-covered straps and towering stiletto silhouette worked especially well with Emmy Rossum’s Naeem Khan separates because they echoed the shimmer of the beadwork without competing against the outfit’s tailoring. A rear zipper closure helped maintain the seamless “cage” effect across the foot, while the slim heel kept the overall silhouette sharp rather than overly heavy.

Although no longer part of Jimmy Choo’s current lineup, the Vendetta remains one of the brand’s more recognizable archival evening sandals from the 2010s, particularly among collectors drawn to the label’s more overtly glamorous red-carpet era.

Casual Chic: Emmy Rossum’s Street Style in Stripes

Earlier in 2013, Rossum approached daytime dressing with the same attention to coordinated footwear, this time trading formal embellishment for graphic black-and-white contrasts while out in Brentwood.

She paired a striped Malene Birger dress with matching black-and-white heels, proving how consistently she used shoes to anchor both her red-carpet and off-duty looks during this era.

A bright orange tote broke up the monochrome palette and prevented the striped styling from feeling overly coordinated.

The standout detail, however, was her pair of mixed-media Pour La Victoire sandals, which added texture and dimension to an otherwise clean, graphic outfit.

Rossum’s double-ankle-strap “Veronica” heels by Pour La Victoire combined two-tone leather straps with watersnake-textured back panels, giving the otherwise minimalist silhouette a sharper fashion edge. The black-and-white version tied directly into the striped dress, while the block heel added practicality for daytime wear.

Emmy Rossum’s Shoe Style Has Always Balanced Glamour With Wearability

Whether she was stepping onto a Beverly Hills red carpet in crystal-embellished Jimmy Choo sandals or styling striped Pour La Victoire heels for a casual day in Brentwood, Emmy Rossum consistently approached fashion with a polished, shoe-first sensibility.

Her best looks from this era worked because the footwear never felt disconnected from the outfit — each pair added texture, structure, or contrast without overpowering the overall styling.
