Selecting what to wear for the Oscars—or other red carpet events, for that matter—can be daunting. With tons of silhouettes, styles, and designs, even our favorite style icons can get overwhelmed. Arguably, the easiest part of dressing up is deciding on shoes.
High heels remain popular among celebrities to wear on the red carpet. Not only do heels elevate an outfit, but they also provide the perfect finishing touch to any look. While many brand options exist for red-carpet footwear, Stuart Weitzman remains at the top of many celebrities’ lists.
Creating shoes for the modern woman, Stuart Weitzman is known for blending contemporary styles with excellent craftsmanship and unmatched comfort, making it a favorite among many top stars. Stuart Weitzman shoes have enjoyed countless moments on the red carpet, and the 2024 Oscars were no different.
From America Ferrera to Emily Ratajkowski, let’s look at the celebrities who wore Stuart Weitzman shoes at the 96th Annual Academy Awards and Oscar festivities over the weekend. Let us know which Stuart Weitzman shoe style is your fave!
1. America Ferrera in Discoplatform Sandals
The Oscar Best Supporting Actress nominee boosted her 5’1” height by several inches with the Stuart Weitzman Discoplatform sandals, characterized by the staggering 5.1-inch slim block heels and 1.4-inch platforms. Sleek and modern, these sandals feature the same construction as the brand’s popular Nudistcurve sandals.

America Ferrera’s Discoplatform sandals were custom-dyed in pink satin to match her Barbie pink chainmail dress, which reportedly took the Versace team 400 hours to create. I love how the dress softly drapes her contours, hugging every inch of her hourglass figure before culminating in a sweeping train.
Adding extra sparkle to the look, Ferrera accessorized with a set of jewelry from the Pomellato High Jewelry Ode to Milan collection, selected by her stylist Karla Welch. These include the “Castello” necklace encrusted with 28-carat 1,274 hand-set princess, baguette, and brilliant-cut diamonds and five reverse-set rubellites. She also wore the matching “Castello” ring with rhodolite garnet and diamonds.

2. Gabrielle Union in Black Nudist Hollywood Platform Sandals
Standing 5-foot-7, Gabrielle Union stood beside her 6’4” husband, Dwayne Wade, in a pair of Nudist Hollywood Platform sandals, considered by Stuart Weitzman as the “boldest” version of their iconic Nudist sandals.
These minimalist shoes feature slim front straps, open toes, and slim buckled ankle straps perched atop a 5.7-inch heel with a leg-lengthening 1.6-inch platform.
Union’s Nudist Hollywood sandals are made of black satin, which went perfectly with her crystal-embellished look, created by Wes Gordon for Carolina Herrera’s Pre-Fall 2024 collection.

I’m not a fan of her Vanity Fair Oscar Party outfit, as it’s too flashy for my taste, but I think it’s intriguing that she’s actually wearing two separate outfits. The strapless top with a structured peplum is a mini dress, while the bottom part is a column maxi skirt. Considering the all-over crystal embellishments, I’m curious to find out the weight of the outfit.
Apparently, Union’s ensemble isn’t dazzling enough, at least for her stylist Thomas Christos Kikis, who added more glitz to the look with a Tiffany & Co. choker necklace, a few rings, and diamond stud earrings.

3. Emily Ratajkowski in White Nudist Hollywood Sandals
The New York Times Bestselling Author wore the white version of Union’s Nudist Hollywood heels, enhancing her 5’7” height and the sensuality of her Vanity Fair Oscar Party ensemble.
Emily Ratajkowski opted for a daring monochromatic white look for the Vanity Fair Party, matching her towering white Nudist Hollywood sandals with a sculpted white gown from Jacquemus’ Spring 2024 collection.

Perhaps the most daring look of the night, Emily was braless underneath the risque gown with a tilted, asymmetric bodice and an open back. She kept the styling simple, accessorizing with just a pair of Messika Voltage Earrings in her failed attempt to keep an elegant look.
Not a fan of this, but I must admit, Emily looks gorgeous in white.

4. Demi Moore in Bronze Nudist Sandals
Looking fabulous at 61, Demi Moore put on a busty display as she teetered on a pair of the all-time celebrity-favorite Nudist sandals. Since its 2013 debut, the Nudist has established itself as a mainstay on the red carpet, adding effortless style and sophistication to any ensemble.
Demi Moore wore the bronze leather Nudist ($475 at Revolve) with her alluring chocolate brown satin gown, which Versace created for the actress. The exquisite ‘90s-style dress featured a strapless bodice with front cutouts held together by bejeweled gold hardware.

To keep the look cohesive, Demi is accessorized with chunky bronze moon-shaped Chopard earrings, a bracelet, and a few rings. She then carried her red carpet necessities in a $2,125 Jeffrey Levinson clutch.
I appreciate the styling, but I’m not exactly enamored with the entire look. Regardless, Demi Moore still looks absolutely gorgeous as she’s always been.

5. Jessica Lange in Black Stuart 75 Block Pumps
The 1995 Oscar Best Actress winner looked classy in black as she made a rare red carpet appearance at the 2024 Oscars, where she co-presented the Best Actress trophy to Emma Stone.
Jessica Lange, 74, wore a bespoke Dolce & Gabbana gown adorned with clear and black crystals meticulously placed to resemble fireworks. I like the silhouette—a fitted bodice with long sleeves, a V-neckline, and an A-line skirt with a short train; I think it looks appropriate for the actress and the glamorous event.

Though her heels were not visible, Lange wore the $475 Stuart 75 Block Pumps in black Spazzolato leather. The sharply pointed toes and about 2.9-inch low block heels—comfortable enough for Lange to walk in—gave the classic pump silhouette a modern twist.
Her sparkling Martin Katz sapphire and diamond ring and moon-shaped earrings completed her ensemble.
6. Jodie Foster in Ryder 95 Platform Sandals
Jodie Foster, Oscar Best Supporting Actress nominee, gave her 5’3” height a boost with the $495 Ryder 95 sandals. These are designed to provide “high-impact style” and “low-effort comfort” with their 5-inch block heels and 1.4-inch platforms.

Foster chose the metallic silver version, which I think paired well with her navy Loewe gown. The sleeveless number had a mock neck, a scarf for a regal touch, and a floor-length skirt covered in glittering crystals, resembling light shimmering over water.
I love how classy Foster looks in the bespoke dress, styled with custom Kwiat diamond and sapphire earrings mimicking water droplets.

7. Kate McKinnon in Black Patent Stuart 100 Pumps
Former SNL cast member Kate McKinnon opted to power dress at the Oscars, wearing a double-breasted black suit with the Stuart 100 pumps in black patent leather.
These classic-contemporary polished pumps have razor-sharp pointed toes and sleek 3.9-inch stiletto heels.

McKinnon, who plays Weird Barbie in the 2023 Barbie movie, gave her monochrome black ensemble a dash of glitter with dangling silver earrings, a chain necklace, and a ring.
The 40-year-old actress took to the stage with America Ferrera to present the Oscars for Best Documentary Short Film and Best Documentary Feature Film to The Last Repair Shop and 20 Days in Mariupol, respectively.

8. Issa Rae in Black Patent Nudistcurve Sandals
The Insecure star, 39, showcased her incredibly toned figure in a form-fitting black gown with a sculptural white panel extending from the bust to one arm and down the back, creating a one-shoulder design.
Valdrin Sahiti, the Albanian fashion designer behind Heidi Klum’s avant-garde Elton John Oscar Party ensemble, also designed Issa Rae’s exquisite gown.
Issa Rae kept her footwear understated, allowing the gown to take center stage. She selected the classic $475 Nudistcurve sandals in black patent.

Sleeker than the iconic Nudist heels, the Nudistcurve has a curved rear and a redesigned 4-inch heel set on a curved angle for more comfort and support. It also has thinner cushioning, square toes, and adjustable ankle straps.
A set of statement rings, a bracelet, and a pair of drop earrings by Cast Jewelry rounded out her stunning look.
