At America’s Got Talent Season 10 red carpet at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood on April 8, 2015, Heidi Klum delivered a reminder that longevity in fashion often comes down to confidence, precision, and the right shoes.

Wearing a sharply cut Cushnie et Ochs dress with mesh paneling and a plunging neckline, Klum leaned into clean lines rather than excess, letting proportion and structure do the work. The look felt intentional rather than performative, grounded by accessories kept deliberately restrained.
What ultimately anchored the outfit, however, was her choice of footwear. Klum finished the look with black Givenchy “Clara” shark-lock sandals—architectural, modern, and unmistakably strong—proving that statement heels can quietly command a red-carpet moment without overshadowing the woman wearing them.

Klum kept the styling sharp and deliberate, pairing the dress with bold geometric earrings, a statement snake ring, and sculptural bracelets.
Her blonde hair was swept into a sleek bun, while defined eye makeup added contrast and structure—an approach that complemented the clean lines of the look without competing with its silhouette or the statement heels.

Klum grounded the look with black Givenchy “Clara” sandals, a refined archival silhouette most closely associated with the house’s Riccardo Tisci era. Defined by their minimalist, barely-there construction, the sandals are best known for the signature shark-tooth twist-lock hardware at the ankle.

This metallic detail brought an edge to an otherwise sleek, leg-elongating design.
With slim leather straps, open toes, and ultra-high heels, the Claras strike a balance between restraint and attitude, making them a timeless red-carpet choice that still feels intentional years later.
