Though they stuck to the same color, the vibe couldn’t have been more different. East went for a sultry feel in a lingerie-style bustier mini, while Sandler kept things more modest in a maxi-length dress.
What tied their looks together, though, were their black pumps, a classic choice that kept everything sleek and polished!

They weren’t the only ones leaning into black for the night. A lot of young attendees showed up in sultry, statement-making looks, and I have to say, the footwear really stood out.
From sharp stilettos to more playful picks, there was no shortage of eye-catching shoes on the pink carpet. Some guests even leaned into the movie’s college theme, showing up in preppy, school-inspired outfits paired with campus-ready shoe styles like loafers and Mary Janes.
Let’s take a closer look at the standout shoe moments from the Roommates Los Angeles premiere.
Chloe East in Sculpted Black Pumps and a Bustier Mini Dress
Standing at 5’5″ (165.1 cm) and wearing a US shoe size 6, Chloe East chose a pair of black pumps that worked in perfect proportion with her frame. The soft, glove-like upper hugged her foot with a near second-skin fit, creating a seamless line that felt both refined and intentional.
The design featured smooth, subtly rounded vamps that tapered into sharp pointed toes, elongating her foot and enhancing the leg-lengthening effect—an especially smart choice for her proportions.
The result was a clean, sculpted silhouette that balanced delicacy with precision, reinforcing the polished, fashion-forward tone of her look.

Chloe East paired the pumps with a black mini dress featuring a lingerie-style bodice. It had a bustier top with delicate crochet trims peeking out from the sweetheart neckline, held up by ultra-thin spaghetti straps. It cinched her waist and then flared out into exaggerated, sculptural hips, creating a flattering shape. The hemline sat high above her thighs, showing off her legs.
East appeared to be wearing a Magda Butrym design, though the version available at Mytheresa features contrasting white crochet instead of black.
She kept her jewelry minimal with just earrings and rings, while her softly curled hair and natural makeup balanced the look perfectly.

Sadie Sandler in Black Mesh Pumps and a Self-Portrait Lace Dress
Sadie Sandler kept things simple and modest, staying true to her usual style. She slipped into a pair of black mesh pumps, and though they were chic, they didn’t quite complement the rest of her look.
The pumps had a lightweight, breathable feel thanks to the mesh panels, with leather trims and satin toe caps adding just enough contrast. The almond-shaped toes softened the overall silhouette, making them look more classic than pointed styles.
While easy to pair with almost anything, open-toe sandals or even trendy mules could have given her look a lighter, more modern finish.

Sandler paired the pumps with a black Self-Portrait maxi dress featuring an off-the-shoulder, layered-ruffle neckline. The bodice was made of floral lace that hugged her frame nicely, then flowed into an ankle-length skirt with a subtle tonal pattern and a delicate lace hem.
Wearing her raven hair down, she kept everything else minimal, skipping a necklace and going with a few rings for a touch of shine.

Natasha Lyonne in Pointed Knee-High Boots and Sheer Christian Siriano
Natasha Lyonne went for a feminine yet edgy look, stepping out in a black dress paired with black knee-high boots. I have to say, it’s not something you see often on the red carpet these days, especially with everyone leaning into mules and slingbacks, but the boots really made this look stand out.
She wore classic black suede knee-high boots with sharp pointed toes and slim stiletto heels, adding a strong, slightly sultry edge to the ensemble. I liked how they gave it more attitude and balanced out the sheer elements of her dress, making the whole outfit feel less delicate.

Natasha’s Christian Siriano dress had a sleek column silhouette that kept the look long and streamlined, with a high, sculptural strapless neckline that added to its modern, sultry vibe. The sheer black base gave it that daring feel, while the large textured florals layered over it added depth to the look.
The florals balanced everything out, covering some areas while leaving others sheer, especially along the legs. It showed just enough skin without looking tacky!
Natasha kept her accessories minimal, wearing just rings and sleek Gentle Monster “Mimosa 01” sunglasses, which added to her signature cool vibe. Her ginger curls were styled with volume and texture, framing her face and adding a bit more personality to the look.

Xochitl Gomez in Simone Rocha Brogues and Charles Jeffrey Loverboy
Xochitl Gomez leaned into school-uniform-core for the Roommates premiere, and I have to say, she really pulled it off. I liked how it played into the movie’s college theme without looking costumey.
Gomez slipped into a pair of chunky black brogues by Simone Rocha, now on sale for $707 (from $1,010) at Mytheresa. The shoes had that classic menswear brogue base, but fully embellished with silver-tone grommets and leather laces, giving them a more edgy, updated look.
They also featured double platforms, adding height and giving the whole shoe a bold, statement-making feel. What really stood out were the heart-shaped toes, which added a playful twist and softened the otherwise tough design.

Xochitl kept her look cohesive with a black pinafore mini dress by Charles Jeffrey Loverboy. Up close, the fabric had a subtle damask texture made from a stretch blend of recycled polyester and viscose.
The dress’s wide, plunging V-neckline was styled with a sliding curb chain and chest rivet details, adding to the look’s edge. A slim waistband defined her figure before the skirt flared into an asymmetrical A-line with knife pleats, adding movement while maintaining that preppy feel.
Gomez layered a crisp white shirt under it and carried a black Kate Spade “Sam Icon Ksnyl” bag, finishing the look with soft waves and a full fringe.

Bella Murphy in Vintage Chanel Slingbacks and a Black Silk Halter Dress
Bella Murphy, daughter of Eddie and Nicole Murphy, went for a feminine, sophisticated look at the event, pairing her black dress with vintage Chanel slingback pumps.
The shoes came in a two-tone pastel pink-and-beige combo, though under the lighting, they almost read as a soft yellow. They featured sharp, pointed cap toes that kept the silhouette sleek, balanced by a super-thin slingback strap that made them feel light and delicate on the foot.
These pumps were set on wooden kitten heels, which added just a bit of height!

Bella’s Chanel pumps added a pop of color to her $1,022 black silk ABL Estudio dress. The bodice was made of silk charmeuse, with a slim halter strap and diamond-shaped seams that highlighted her waist.
From there, the dress flowed into a skirt made of upcycled silk textile, detailed with floral embroidery that tied in nicely with the soft tones of her shoes. It also had a fringed hem that added movement and gave the look a bit more texture.
Bella Murphy also added a long black silk scarf, though I felt it slightly disrupted the dress’s clean lines. Her braided updo, smoky eyes, and delicate jewelry finished the look nicely.

Chloe Cherry in Patent Slingbacks and a Sheer Blumarine Dress
Chloe Cherry went the all-black route like many of the guests, stepping out in a pair of shiny black patent slingback pumps that instantly stood out.
The pumps made a statement with their high vamp, creating a structured, sculpted line across the foot. Pointed toes sharpened the silhouette, balancing the added coverage with a sleek, elongating effect.
A slim slingback strap kept the fit secure, while the block heel introduced height with a grounded, modern feel. Finished in glossy patent leather, the pair delivered just the right amount of shine—polished, confident, and perfectly in step with her look.

Chloe brought her signature sultry style to the event in a black tulle dress from Blumarine. The bodice had a double-layered corset design with boning and soft ruffle pleats, paired with a straight neckline and thin spaghetti straps.
It hugged her frame and hips before flowing into a sheer skirt with a diagonal flounce and a sweeping train, adding movement as she walked.
She then kept her accessories simple, with a gold pendant necklace and a bracelet, and wore her blonde hair down with soft, curled ends to finish the look.

Ava Michelle in Modern Mary Janes and a Preppy Schoolgirl Look
Ava Michelle went for a preppy schoolgirl look, and I have to say, the shoes really pulled everything together. She slipped into a pair of black slingback Mary Jane pumps with V-shaped vamps and pointed toes, giving them a sleek, more modern feel.
The shoes had a slightly crinkled finish that added texture, so they didn’t look too plain. The three slim buckled straps across the foot kept that classic schoolgirl feel, while the slingback design made them look a bit more updated than your usual Mary Janes. Ava styled them with thick socks, leaning into the school-inspired vibe!

She paired them with a beige pleated knee-length skirt that added structure and a bit of movement, keeping that classic uniform feel.
On top, she wore a navy-and-gray collegiate-style sweater, styled with a bra tuck, in which the bottom hem is folded upward and tucked into the bra band, showing a hint of midriff and giving the outfit a more modern, playful edge. Underneath, a striped collared shirt peeked out, adding that layered, academic touch.
Ava finished the look with a black bag with a gold chain strap and eyeglasses, tying everything together and keeping that chic schoolgirl vibe.
