Kylie Jenner’s Early Red-Carpet Style: The Aquazzura Amazon Sandals That Defined Her Look

It’s hard to believe that Kylie Jenner was only two years older than Kiernan Shipka when the two appeared on the red carpet together with Debby Ryan—a reminder of how early Kylie began shaping her now-signature fashion identity.

Kylie Jenner Goes Bold in Black-and-White at the Believe Premiere

The American reality television star, model, and then–Seventeen magazine brand ambassador opted for a bold black-and-white look at the premiere of Justin Bieber’s Believe documentary at Regal Cinemas L.A. Live.

Her thigh-high-slit maxi skirt and cropped white shirt hinted at the directional, high-fashion sensibility she would later be known for.

Aquazzura’s Amazon Sandals Give Kylie’s Look a Strappy, High-Fashion Edge

Kylie completed the outfit with Aquazzura’s strappy Amazon stilettos, a style she clearly loved—she had already worn the lace-up sandals earlier that year at the 2013 iHeartRadio Music Festival.

Her 4 1/4-inch ankle-wrap sandals feature strappy leather uppers and crisscross ankle straps.
