Just months after their October 2015 wedding, Chung also embraced the event’s theme in a draped gold Vivienne Westwood gown styled with an Emm Kuo geometric clutch and striking red Jimmy Choo heels, creating one of her most memorable early red-carpet shoe moments.

Although Chung’s exact red Jimmy Choo sandals from the 2016 gala are now sold out, the look is still easy to replicate with the brand’s current ankle-strap offering.
