Jamie Chung stepped out at the 2017 Fox Upfronts, held at Wollman Rink in New York City, wearing Tamara Mellon’s now-iconic Frontline sandals. This design has since become one of the brand’s most recognizable red-carpet signatures.
Styled with a sleek Victoria Beckham Pre-Fall 2017 wrap-neck sweater and coordinated skirt, her look captured exactly why the Frontline remains a celebrity favorite: the barely-there mix of leather and transparent PVC creates a subtle, leg-lengthening effect that photographs beautifully from every angle.
