Bella Thorne Embodies Glam in Gold-Embellished Alaïa Sandals With Structured Heels Inspired by the Legs of Parisian Cabaret Dancers
Bella Thorne launched her affordable jewelry line, The Bella by Thorne, in collaboration with Walmart in Los Angeles on Tuesday and wore a pair of captivating Alaïa sandals to celebrate.
The star made a grand entrance at the event in a striking black velvet gown. The floor-length gown exuded elegance with its draped, off-the-shoulder neckline and a daring thigh-high slit that added a touch of allure. The rich, dark fabric of the velvet was beautifully offset by two contrasting white floral embellishments strategically placed at the shoulder and waist, drawing attention to the gown’s exquisite design.
On her feet, she selected black strappy sandals with gold embellishments and a round open toe. The sandals were the $1,750 Alaïa Cabaret patent leather sandals. The shoe was adorned with two straps that gracefully crossed over the upper of her foot, two straps that wrapped around her ankle, which she then adorned with a delicate gold bracelet. But the standout of the shoe is a uniquely structured gold heel that undoubtedly turned heads. The heel on each shoe is made up of two tiny gold sculpted and shapely legs and bottom, inspired by Parisian cabaret dancers. Beyoncé is also a fan of the style, and she wore them during her “Renaissance” tour.

With a historical significance rooted in ancient civilizations, strappy sandals have been a staple in the fashion world for centuries. Today, renowned footwear designers such as Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo, Stuart Weitzman and Aquazzura create stunning collections of strappy sandals. These sandals range from classic, elegant styles to modern, trend-forward designs.
When it comes to her footwear style, the Disney Channel alum favors pointed-toe pumps and sandals from labels like Aquazzura, Versace and Saint Laurent on the red carpet. When off-duty, she’s also a fan of chunky sneakers and boots from DKNY, Balenciaga and Prada. She is also an avid collector of Chanel shoes, handbags and jewelry, frequently wearing sandals, slides and sneakers from her own archive of the French luxury label.
We last saw Thorne attending “The Trainer” red carpet during the 19th Rome Film Festival at Auditorium Parco Della Musica in Rome. Her footwear for the event was a pair of sleek black Versace Tempest platform pumps. These shoes, which retail for $482 via Ssense, feature shiny leather uppers, pointed toes, and thick rubber-injected midsoles in a sky-high platform style.
