Standing at 5 feet 3 inches (160 cm) and wearing a US shoe size 7, Kristin Cavallari lit up the red carpet at the Michigan Avenue magazine party on September 10, 2014, where she celebrated her September issue cover at the W Chicago-Lakeshore Hotel.

The then-27-year-old television personality, actress, and budding fashion designer brought sultry glamour to the evening in a black mesh “Kate” dress by Elizabeth and James, finishing the look with tan leopard “Copertina” pumps from her long-running Chinese Laundry by Kristin Cavallari collection.
This successful partnership, launched in 2012, offered chic, affordable heels, sandals, and boots designed with the modern, on-the-go woman in mind.

The bold red lip and leg-baring silhouette perfectly captured her signature mix of effortless chic and red-carpet confidence.
