Karolina Kurkova, famous for not having a belly button, is the latest celeb to rock the knee-high gladiator sandals trend.
The model showed off her long legs in a minimalist version of the shoe style at the press conference for her latest TV project, “The Face,” held during NBC Universal’s 2013 Winter TCA Tour.

She styled hers with a knee-length black dress that featured a high neck and cutouts along the chest and shoulders.

The Czech model and actress kept her makeup light and natural and wore her blonde hair in a long side braid.

She finished her ensemble with a minimalist pair of Alexander Wang t-strap gladiator sandals.

Karolina’s t-strap sandals are Alexander Wang’s “Aline” design. They feature a leg-lengthening vertical strap going down the back of the leg.

How do you think Karolina Kurkova’s minimalist knee-high gladiator sandals compare to the bondage boot sandals we spotted on Anne Hathaway at the NY premiere of “Les Miserables” last month?
