Kate Beckinsale Proves Jimmy Choo’s 6-Inch Liberty Platforms Are Still Ultimate Red Carpet Royalty

At the grand opening of Carversteak at Resorts World Las Vegas on December 29, 2021, Kate Beckinsale embraced her signature red-carpet style in a black sequined Peter Dundas mini and towering Jimmy Choo platform sandals.

The British actress attended the Las Vegas launch festivities, including the evening’s champagne sabering ceremony, pairing the sparkling two-piece look with dramatic sky-high heels that instantly drew attention to her footwear.

Beckinsale’s Peter Dundas ensemble combined a long-sleeved cropped top with a matching high-waisted miniskirt. Sharp shoulders, a plunging neckline, and a wrap-style sash detail gave the all-black sequined look a distinctly glamorous, after-dark feel.

She kept the look understated with diamond hoop earrings from Effy Jewelry, styled by Taylor Jacobson.

For footwear, Beckinsale chose the Jimmy Choo “Liberty” platform sandals, a statement evening style from the luxury house’s platform era. Also known as the Liberty 150, the design became a red-carpet favorite thanks to its towering proportions and comparatively wearable construction.

The black satin sandals feature open toes, slim ankle straps, approximately 1-inch platforms, and soaring 6-inch block heels. The substantial platform helps offset the dramatic heel height, making the silhouette easier to walk in than similarly tall non-platform styles.

Although the Liberty is no longer a core style in Jimmy Choo’s 2026 collection, it remains popular on the resale market and is still sought after by collectors of the brand’s glamorous platform designs. Contemporary Jimmy Choo styles such as the Max and Heloise platforms carry on the same bold evening aesthetic.

Kate Beckinsale’s sequined Dundas ensemble and sky-high Liberty platforms perfectly captured the glamorous, unapologetically bold aesthetic that has long defined Jimmy Choo on the red carpet.

While the Liberty 150 has since moved into past-season territory, the dramatic platform silhouette remains a celebrity favorite, with stars continuing to gravitate toward the brand’s statement heels, satin pumps, and elegant evening mules for premieres, award shows, and high-profile appearances.
