Jessica Alba’s Double Shoe Change: From Gianvito Rossi “Portofino” to Jimmy Choo “Gaia” Platforms

Jessica Alba and Cash Warren brought a rare dose of Hollywood romance to the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party on March 10.

Arriving at the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts in Beverly Hills, the couple celebrated the 96th Annual Academy Awards with a masterclass in coordinated evening style.

Leaning into high-octane glamour, Alba’s look centered on a metallic palette that bridged classic Hollywood elegance and modern couture.

The centerpiece of her ensemble was a shimmering silver Tamara Ralph gown from the designer’s Spring/Summer 2024-2025 couture collection. Constructed from romantic crystal mesh, the floor-length piece featured intricate metallic sequin embellishments designed to catch the spotlight.

The gown beautifully accentuated her figure with charming off-the-shoulder sleeves and exquisite floral appliques along the plunging neckline and waistline—details that served as the most captivating focal points of the silhouette.

Silver Monochrome Glam and Sparkling Accents

Her outfit boasted a floor-sweeping length, mostly concealing her shoes, yet she elegantly paired it with matching silver Gianvito Rossi Portofino sandals.

Her choice of footwear featured a single-toe strap, buckle-fastening ankle strap, and 105mm stiletto heel, which added a touch of sophistication and elevated her stature.

I like how Jessica maintained the silver monochrome theme of her ensemble, though it may have seemed somewhat simplistic and minimal.

Opting to forgo a necklace, she enhanced her look with silver jewelry, including Rahaminov diamond earrings and a matching Rahaminov diamond ring.

The Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer star also accentuated her look by carrying a small, champagne-colored, metallic Tyler Ellis Eloise clutch.

She chose a subtle yet glamorous makeup look, including nude lips, and styled her long, honey-highlighted hair in soft mermaid waves cascading over her shoulders.

The film producer elegantly complemented his wife by keeping it classic and chic in a black-and-white suit paired with a stylish bowtie.

Quick Change: Edgy in Black Lace Zuhair Murad Sheer Gown

Within the venue, Jessica Alba swiftly made an impressive wardrobe change, seemingly within minutes, pausing to snap a few photos in her silver ensemble before revealing her second outfit.

For her second look, she opted for an edgier style, which I love, donning a creation by Zuhair Murad from the Lebanese fashion designer’s Fall/Winter 2024-2025 collection.

Her all-black attire featured lace and a sheer silhouette that nearly revealed her high-waisted underwear beneath the dress.

The sultry gown boasted a velvet bodice and sweetheart neckline transitioning into a sheer yet voluminous skirt embellished with romantic floral prints.

Jessica accessorized with coordinating black Jimmy Choo Gaia platform sandals in patent leather, featuring a square toe, a buckle-fastening ankle strap, and a high block heel, adding height to her frame.

Maintaining the same accessories and glam look from her previous ensemble, she shared a series of snapshots on Instagram showcasing her second dress with her followers, captioning it, “About last night… @vanityfair 🖤 #VFOscars,” while also acknowledging her glam team: “Hair – @brittneyryanhair Makeup – @mariavargasmakeup Nails – @nailartbyqueenie Styling – @ariellamasiedi.”

Inside the 2024 Vanity Fair Oscar Party

Jessica Alba took to TikTok to share a video from her table at the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, featuring appearances by fellow attendees Chrissy Teigen and Baby2Baby co-CEO Kelly Sawyer.

In the 13-second clip, Jessica, Kelly, and Chrissy were briefly showcased before the camera focused on floral arrangements and a menu detailing a pasta first course, alongside various options for the second course, such as branzino al forno.

Jessica captioned the lively footage, inviting her followers: “Come inside the @Vanity Fair #Oscars dinner with me 😜 #VFOscars #ComeCheckThis.”

Why Celebrities Keep Returning to Gianvito Rossi’s “Portofino” Sandals

Jessica Alba’s shimmering Vanity Fair Oscar Party look is another reminder of why the Gianvito Rossi “Portofino” remains a red-carpet favorite.

With its barely-there straps, elegant ankle buckle, and sleek stiletto heel, the minimalist design allows couture gowns to shine while subtly elongating the legs.

Alba joins a long list of celebrities who rely on the Portofino for its clean lines and timeless versatility—making it one of the most enduring evening sandals in modern fashion.
