Cara Delevingne in Guy Laroche and 4 More Shoe Moments at the Girl Up #GirlHero Awards

In October 2019, the Girl Up #GirlHero Awards brought together a notable group of advocates and entertainers at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.

Held in honor of the International Day of the Girl, the second annual luncheon recognized figures like Kate Hudson, Cara Delevingne, and Jameela Jamil for their contributions to gender equality and social change.

The afternoon served as a snapshot of late-2010s style, with attendees leaning into a mix of utilitarian denim, sharp tailoring, and classic footwear.

From avant-garde jumpsuits to timeless stiletto sandals, the red carpet reflected the diverse personal styles of the women being honored.

1. Cara Delevingne: White Pumps Sharpen a Cutout Guy Laroche Denim Jumpsuit

Not one to shy away from a fashion risk, Cara Delevingne put on a quirky display in a Guy Laroche Resort 2020 denim jumpsuit.

Cara’s bizarre choice undoubtedly turned heads, as it featured circular cutouts. The utilitarian one-piece number featured a front zipper pulled down just enough to show her braless look.

Cara looked beautiful with her shoulder-length tresses worn in a twisted half-up, half-down style. For her makeup, she sported silver eyeshadow, peachy blush, and lip shade.

2. Jameela Jamil: Thigh-High Suede Boots Give Schoolgirl Tailoring a Darker Edge

Radio presenter Jameela Jamil was honored for her work with the body positivity movement and cut a chic figure in a more wearable look than Cara’s.

The activist opted for a schoolgirl-inspired look, wearing a black blazer with a matching tie, a white shirt underneath, and a thigh-skimming mini skirt.

3. Ashley Benson: Jimmy Choo Pumps Elevate a Leggy Paris Georgia Mini Skirt Look

Ashley Benson showed support for her then-girlfriend and “Her Smell” co-star, Cara. She made a leggy arrival in a tiny high-waist button-front skirt teamed with a black long-sleeved blouse that revealed a hint of cleavage.

Both pieces were from the contemporary ready-to-wear label, Paris Georgia.

4. Julianne Hough: Stuart Weitzman Nudist Sandals Keep an All-Black H&M Conscious Look Classic

Julianne Hough was back in the spotlight to host the awards luncheon, just a few weeks after announcing the passing of her dogs, Lexi and Harley.

The dancer-actress strutted on the pink carpet in an all-black ensemble from H&M Conscious. It consisted of a frilly black top with a cleavage-baring V-cut neckline, tucked into a pair of high-waisted trousers.
