When Lily Aldridge arrived at the 2016 Vanity Fair Oscar Party in Beverly Hills, her choice of footwear served as the focal point for a sophisticated, monochromatic evening look.
Accompanied by her husband, Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill, the model opted for a texture-heavy ensemble that balanced high-fashion architecture with classic red-carpet glamour.

The centerpiece of her look was an Alexandre Vauthier Haute Couture gown featuring a mesh-cutout bodice and an asymmetrical ruffled hemline.

However, it was the custom Alexandre Vauthier sandals that elevated the silhouette; the heels featured intricate, oversized embellishments at the ankle, providing a jewelry-like finish to the all-black attire.

Lily Aldridge made the moment feel distinctly personal, keeping close to her husband, Caleb Followill, as they posed together on the red carpet. The couple’s coordinated presence added a softer, more intimate layer to her otherwise high-glamour look.
She later shared a glimpse of the evening on Instagram, playfully turning the spotlight on her typically low-key partner with his own OOTD moment—Followill in a sharply tailored Dolce & Gabbana suit that complemented her sleek, all-black ensemble.
