Some shoes call for a specific look to match their style, but we didn’t expect that to include the Alaïa ‘Bombe’ sandals. These versatile ankle-strap styles pair beautifully with almost anything, especially neutral tones like beige.
Sofia Vergara and Dutch model Lilly Becker—also known as Lilly Kerssenberg following her divorce from Boris Becker—stepped out in strikingly similar feminine looks featuring the iconic Alaïa ‘Bombe’ sandals within days of each other.
Standing at 5′9″ (1.75 m) with a US shoe size 10, Lilly edged out Sofia’s 5′7″ (170.2 cm) frame and size 8.5 shoes by just a bit in height—but who styled the sandals better?

Sofia Vergara arrived for her recent guest appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” looking as pretty as a petal in a pink off-shoulder maxi dress.
The pale rosy hue of her Lisa Marie Fernandez dress was the perfect tone to pair the beige-suede Alaïa heels and a matching Alaia studded-strap handbag.
