Throwback Glam at Hakkasan Las Vegas: Vanessa Hudgens, J.Lo & Paris Hilton in Designer Heels

The grand opening of Hakkasan Nightclub in Las Vegas in 2013 was more than just a nightlife launch—it was a snapshot of early-2010s celebrity style at its peak. A-listers like Vanessa Hudgens, Paris Hilton, and Jennifer Lopez lit up the red carpet with glittering mini dresses, statement jewelry, and head-turning designer heels.

While the event may be over a decade old, these red carpet looks still offer serious fashion inspiration today. From Valentino Rockstud pumps to gold bangles and nude Louboutins, the accessories these stars chose reveal how trends in jewelry and footwear helped define an era of party-ready glam.

In this throwback style breakdown, we revisit three celebrity outfits that still sparkle with relevance. Each look was built around distinctive footwear and accessories that told a story—whether it was Vanessa’s boho-glam edge, Paris’s glitzy polish, or J.Lo’s confident drama. Let’s take a closer look.
