If you remember early 2010s pop culture, you might recall one particularly playful moment from Conan in January 2014.
Two Broke Girls stars Kat Dennings and Beth Behrs stopped by the show, and a lighthearted on-air mishap—Beth accidentally brushing against Kat—sent Conan into his signature comedic overreaction, prompting a slow-motion replay that instantly became a fan-favorite clip.
What stands out even more in retrospect, though, is the duo’s coordinated style. Both actresses leaned into the era’s love of figure-hugging black minis and sky-high heels: Beth in edgy cage sandals and Kat in sleek pointed pumps. It was a quintessential mid-2010s red-carpet-meets-late-night fashion moment—simple, sharp, and perfectly in sync with the minimalist glam that dominated the decade.
That same day at the 2014 People’s Choice Awards, we found the dynamic duo together once again.

This time, however, they were as different as night and day. Beth sported a white gown from Giulietta, while Kat rocked a printed black number from David Meister.

We weren’t able to catch a glimpse of the heels Kat wore with her dress, but we did get a good look at Beth’s gorgeous t-strap sandals. They were in satin and decorated with stones at the T-bar.

The Glamorous Details of Beth’s René Caovilla Heels
While Beth’s sandals were undeniably stunning, the close-up shots revealed every detail—right down to the natural texture of her feet—reminding us how unforgiving high-resolution red-carpet photography can be. But the real star here is the shoe itself.
Beth’s heels are from René Caovilla, the Italian luxury house celebrated for its jeweled, red-carpet-ready designs. Known for delicate satin finishes, crystal embellishments, and meticulous craftsmanship, Caovilla’s creations consistently bring a touch of couture glamour to any celebrity look.

We couldn’t find the t-straps online, but here are a few other stunning styles from Caovilla’s current lineup that may interest you. Most are made in satin, but you can also find a few wrapped in suede, such as pink and blue pairs.
Depending on the style, the heels can range from 3.5 to 4.25 inches tall (or taller if with platforms).
