Coca-Cola enlisted supermodel Rosie Huntington-Whiteley to help debut its new Coca-Cola Life beverage—and she delivered a masterclass in crisp, modern glamour.
At the London launch, Rosie stepped out in a sculptural white Balmain cape-effect mini dress cinched with the brand’s ribbed leather belt, letting her shoes supply the perfect hit of high-fashion drama.
She anchored the clean, minimalist silhouette with Giuseppe Zanotti’s distinctive Coline sandals—a fan-favorite style known for its soaring stiletto heel and its sculptural, wraparound embellishments.

How Snake-Print Zanotti Coline Heels Added Edge to Rosie’s Clean, Sculptural Balmain Dress
This particular pair came in a bold snake-print finish, adding edgy texture to the pared-back dress. The combination of sleek lines and statement footwear gave her look a fresh, contemporary energy that still feels timeless today.
The Coline is one of Zanotti’s most recognizable designs for a reason: its strappy, open-toe silhouette, luxurious Italian-made materials, and dramatic ankle-focused detailing—ranging from wing-like cutouts to crystal appliqués—embody the brand’s signature mix of glamour, artistry, and red-carpet confidence.
Rosie’s styling proved just how effortlessly the standout heel can elevate even the most minimalist outfit.
Her look was finished with a curated stack of Mason Stanley diamond rings, soft waves, and fresh, natural makeup—an effortlessly polished ensemble that still feels timeless today.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Ongoing Love Affair With Giuseppe Zanotti Shoes
She is a fan of the Italian luxury footwear designer and has been spotted wearing his shoe designs several times.
In July 2019, Rosie wore silver Giuseppe Zanotti sandals with a sultry white Atelier Versace naked dress to the premiere of Hobbs & Shaw.
In May 2012, she styled her Giuseppe Zanotti stone suede Tor ring flat sandals with jeans while running errands in Malibu.
While her sexy Giuseppe Zanotti sandals (which we’ve also spotted on Kim Kardashian) are sold out online, you can find similar shoe styles from the same brand at Farfetch.
