Sarah Hyland and Jamie Chung offered two distinct interpretations of the same sandal silhouette during awards season appearances six months apart.
At the 2016 Teen Choice Awards at The Forum in Inglewood, California, on July 31, 2016, Hyland paired a floral J. Mendel dress with red suede Stuart Weitzman “Myex” sandals. Chung later wore the same style in nude suede to the 2017 People’s Choice Awards at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, demonstrating how a minimalist strappy sandal could complement dramatically different red-carpet aesthetics.
While Hyland leaned into saturated color with a floral print and matching accessories, Chung opted for delicate embroidery and softer neutrals, highlighting the versatility that made the Stuart Weitzman “Myex” a recurring celebrity favorite during the mid-2010s.

She paired the look with a blue Rodo clutch, jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz and Ofira, and red suede Stuart Weitzman “Myex” sandals that echoed the warmer tones in the print.
Loose waves styled into a side braid, blue eyeliner, subtle smoky shadow, and nude lipstick completed the ensemble, reinforcing the coordinated approach that distinguished her interpretation of the minimalist sandal.

After Hyland demonstrated the impact of the “Myex” in vibrant red suede, Jamie Chung approached the same silhouette from a different perspective only a few months later, favoring muted tones and intricate embroidery for the People’s Choice Awards.

Jamie brought her love of lace and embroidery to the red carpet in a fully embroidered dress by Brazilian designer Martha Medeiros.

Why the Stuart Weitzman “Myex” Remains a Memorable Red-Carpet Sandal
Although the Stuart Weitzman “Myex” sandal is no longer part of the brand’s active collection, it remains one of the label’s recognizable evening silhouettes from the mid-2010s. Defined by slender crossover straps, a rear zipper closure, and a stiletto heel measuring roughly 4 to 4.5 inches (11–11.5 cm), the design balanced a caged aesthetic with the minimalist styling that dominated red carpets during the decade.
