Jennifer Lopez arrived at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards at the MGM Grand Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas wearing a dramatic Donna Karan Fall 2014 gown paired with Jimmy Choo’s “Maury” sandals, one of the brand’s most recognizable strappy evening-shoe designs of the era.

While the sheer red gown drew most of the attention on the red carpet, the footwear played an equally important role in balancing the look.

The Maury sandals combined dark crimson velvet with metallic gold leather straps in an intricate cage-like construction, creating a bold contrast against the fluid silhouette of Lopez’s dress.

Originally released during the height of the statement-sandal trend, the Jimmy Choo Maury remains a sought-after archival style.
Although long discontinued, the design is still regularly found on the resale market and continues to appear in celebrity fashion coverage more than a decade after its debut.

Lopez wasn’t the only celebrity drawn to the Jimmy Choo Maury. Earlier that same year, Naomie Harris styled the sandals with a sheer, embroidered Naeem Khan gown at the Palm Springs International Film Festival Awards Gala, demonstrating the design’s versatility across very different red-carpet looks.

The Maury also appeared on Elizabeth Banks at the Los Angeles premiere of The Hunger Games: Catching Fire, further cementing its status as one of Jimmy Choo’s standout red-carpet sandals from the mid-2010s.

While Jennifer Lopez’s Donna Karan gown attracted most of the attention at the 2014 Billboard Music Awards, her sandals reflected a footwear design approach that remains influential today: intricate strapwork for visual impact.
More recent examples, including Lily Collins’s Jimmy Choo heels at the 2026 French Open, her metallic Jimmy Choo sandals at the 2026 King’s Trust Gala, and the enduring popularity of Jimmy Choo’s Misty platform sandals, demonstrate how the brand continues to reinterpret statement evening footwear for new generations.
In the case of the Maury, the combination of dark crimson velvet, metallic leather, and cage-like straps helped establish it as one of Jimmy Choo’s most recognizable red-carpet sandals of the 2010s.
