At the premiere of The Dead Don’t Die during the 2019 Cannes Film Festival in Cannes, France, on May 14, 2019, Selena Gomez stepped onto the red carpet in a pair of Jimmy Choo Misty platform sandals that quickly became one of the standout shoe moments of her festival appearances.
Selena Gomez paired a custom Louis Vuitton satin bustier-and-skirt ensemble with silver Jimmy Choo Misty platform sandals and a dazzling diamond necklace as Bill Murray escorted her onto the red carpet for The Dead Don’t Die at the 72nd Cannes Film Festival
Known for their clean, barely-there silhouette, Jimmy Choo’s Misty sandals became a red-carpet favorite thanks to their ability to deliver dramatic height without overwhelming an outfit. The design pairs a slim toe strap and delicate ankle buckle with a concealed front platform that softens the pitch of the stiletto heel, creating a more stable feel than many similarly tall evening sandals.
Available in both 100mm and 120mm versions, the Misty was especially popular during the late 2010s, when platform evening sandals returned to prominence on red carpets. Its minimalist design allowed it to work with everything from embellished gowns to sleek column dresses, making it a versatile choice for celebrities who wanted their footwear to elongate the leg without competing with the rest of the look.

Gomez styled the heels with two different Louis Vuitton looks on the same day, demonstrating why the design became a popular red-carpet choice for celebrities seeking the drama of a high stiletto without the severe pitch of a traditional sandal.

Bill Murray whispering something in Selena Gomez’s ear on the 2019 Cannes Film Festival red carpet
She completed the look with a polished bun, a statement diamond necklace, and Bvlgari jewelry that echoed the glamour of the Cannes red carpet without distracting from the clean lines of her outfit and shoes.

Later that evening, Gomez wore the same Jimmy Choo sandals with a second Louis Vuitton dress at the festival’s Gala Dinner.
Repeating the shoes underscored one of Misty’s biggest strengths: its minimalist design could transition effortlessly between different looks while maintaining the polished, leg-lengthening effect that made the style a celebrity favorite.
Elizabeth Olsen wore the black version of the same shoes with an Oscar de la Renta lace bustier and high-waist pants at the “Avengers: Infinity War” premiere.

Selena Gomez’s Long-Running Relationship With Louis Vuitton
Selena’s red carpet choice at Cannes highlights her ongoing love affair with Louis Vuitton. At the 2015 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, she captivated audiences in a custom black leather gown by Louis Vuitton, showcasing her bold style.
During Paris Fashion Week 2016, Selena turned heads in a high-waisted denim mini skirt paired with a white blouse and a navy peacoat, all complemented by Louis Vuitton’s ‘Cosplay’ low booties.
Additionally, while filming her Hulu comedy series, she embraced comfort and style with Louis Vuitton’s Pillow comfort ankle boots, demonstrating the brand’s versatility in her wardrobe.
Chanel Cruise 2019 and Tabitha Simmons Toni Sandals at the Photocall
The following day, Gomez attended the film’s official photocall in a Chanel Cruise 2019 look styled with Messika’s Snake Dance XL Hoop Earrings.
While her wide-leg trousers largely concealed her footwear, she completed the ensemble with Tabitha Simmons’ Toni sandals, opting for a more understated daytime shoe choice after the towering Jimmy Choo Misty platforms she wore for the previous day’s Cannes appearances.
