On July 10, 2015, during San Diego Comic-Con in California, Lea Michele stepped out for the 20th Century Fox party in a look that captured a defining mid-2010s red-carpet formula: a striking designer dress sharpened by playful, high-impact heels.

Wearing a fitted black-and-white printed design from Zimmermann’s Spring 2015 collection, Michele balanced graphic minimalism up top with statement footwear below—proving how intentional shoe choices can elevate even the most streamlined silhouette.

The appearance remains a strong example of how color, proportion, and heels work together to create a memorable fashion moment long after the event itself has passed.

She carried a Charlotte Olympia “Pandora” box clutch with a signature spider clasp and glammed up the look with EF Collection jewels, including mini diamond bezel ear cuffs and a few rings — a multi-bezel-diamond twist ring, a diamond split chevron ring, a diamond triple mini chevron ring, and a diamond triple spiral ring.

Lea Michele injected a vibrant contrast into her sleek, sultry look with a pair of Jimmy Choo “Visby” sandals. This playful, strappy design captured the bold, experimental mood of mid-2010s red-carpet footwear.

The multicolored leather and glossy snakeskin straps, airy mesh inserts, open toes, and buckled ankle straps were finished with a confident four-inch heel—proof that statement shoes can transform a graphic dress into a memorable fashion moment.
