Liza Koshy joined a high-profile guest list—including Chloë Grace Moretz, Rowan Blanchard, Yara Shahidi, Sarah Paulson, Debby Ryan, and Lady Gaga—at the 2018 Elle Women in Hollywood event held at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills.
For the occasion, the digital creator opted for a sophisticated, textured look that played with movement and classic feminine details.

Her choice for the evening was a tiered midi fringe dress from Monique Lhuillier’s Spring/Summer collection.

The garment, which originally retailed for $5,995, featured a delicate camisole neckline and intricate fringe detailing, offering a modern take on the traditional cocktail dress.

She carried a faceted resin Judith Leiber Couture “Duchess” clutch and grounded the look with pearl-embellished Nicholas Kirkwood ‘Penelope’ sandals.

Defined by their minimalist, barely-there straps and a striking 105mm heel, the Penelope sandals exemplify Kirkwood’s signature approach to “architectural” footwear.
Instead of surface embellishment, the glossy faux pearl is set into the heel itself—appearing to float between the sole and stiletto—turning an otherwise classic evening sandal into a subtle piece of wearable sculpture.


Earlier that month, Liza also attended the 2018 American Music Awards in a floral, ruffled, one-shoulder top paired with matching bootcut trousers from Prabal Gurung.
She finished off her outfit with ‘Nudist’ heels from Stuart Weitzman. For more footwear inspiration, see how the American YouTuber styled Giuseppe Zanotti crystal-embellished sandals with a zebra-patterned dress at the 2020 Grammy Awards.
