Sofia Carson’s Best 2019 Red-Carpet Looks: Givenchy, Christopher Kane & Elie Saab With Stunning Designer Heels

Born on April 10, 1993, in Ft. Lauderdale, Florida, to Colombian parents José F. Daccarett and Laura Char Carson, the Colombian-American actress—known to Disney fans as Evie in Descendants—grew up bilingual and bicultural. Sofía Daccarett Char later adopted “Carson” as her artistic name in honor of her American maternal grandmother, Lauraine Carson.

Fluent in Spanish, English, and French, she carried her love of languages to UCLA, where she studied communications and French. As she once told Mom Life, her bicultural upbringing shaped not only her identity but also her artistic sensibility:

We’ve been raised completely biculturally… Speaking Spanish has been such a plus and I feel so proud to be Colombian, and to be Latin and to go around the world and speak my languages.

And in 2019, that globally attuned sensibility extended to a standout trio of red-carpet looks—each one showcasing Sofia Carson’s evolving fashion confidence and her growing affinity for polished, couture-forward glamour.

Feathered Couture Power: Sofia Carson in a Dramatic Christopher Kane Dress & Studded Pumps at the Midway Premiere

The very next evening, Sofia Carson stepped out again—this time for the Midway premiere at the Regency Village Theatre in Westwood—wearing a striking black sleeveless Christopher Kane dress trimmed with dramatic feather panels.

Instead of the expected ankle-strap sandals often paired with the look, she elevated the ensemble with black studded pumps, adding a touch of edge to the otherwise ethereal silhouette.

Yvan Tufenkjian earrings and a Ruwaya ring provided the final sparkle, rounding out a red-carpet moment that balanced modern glamour with Kane’s signature whimsy.
