Nikki Reed hosted 7-Eleven’s 86th birthday party on July 9, 2013, offering a stylish glimpse into the post-Twilight era of the franchise alum.

The Malibu beach event, also attended by Zendaya, became a fashion talking point thanks to Nikki’s unexpected pairing of a breezy maxi dress with rugged ankle boots. Let’s break down the full look and how it measured up for the sunny setting.

Nikki Reed paired her bluish-gray Gypsy 05 maxi dress with reddish-brown Rag & Bone “Classic Newbury” ankle boots—an unexpected pick for a breezy beachside event. While boots can add edge to a maxi, a pair of strappy sandals or minimalist espadrilles would’ve better matched the laid-back summer vibe.

Interestingly, Nikki continued styling the same booties in later appearances. Later that month, she was spotted in a rugged look featuring torn high-waist jeans, a cropped tee layered over a tank, and an Akubra-style hat—channeling a distinctly outback-inspired aesthetic.

Best known for her breakout role in Thirteen, Nikki Reed later explored fashion entrepreneurship with her jewelry line, Mattlin Era, which debuted in 2012 and reflected her bohemian, eco-conscious style.

In addition to launching her line, the ‘Twilight’ alum collaborated on capsule collections with established brands. One example is her partnership with 7 For All Mankind, which produced the affordable and ethically minded Humility necklace, priced under $100.

She styled the piece, featuring an antique gold column pendant and a silver heart accent on a long chain, with her laid-back Gypsy 05 maxi dress for the event.

What’s your take on Nikki Reed’s beachside pairing—do the brown Rag & Bone ankle boots elevate her gray maxi dress, or do they weigh down the look?

Another familiar face at the celebration was Audrina Patridge, who embraced a breezier, beach-ready vibe with her laid-back summer ensemble.
