Monica Barbaro walked on air in see-through footwear at the 97th Annual Academy Awards Nominees dinner at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles yesterday. The actress is nominated for “Actress In A Supporting Role” for her work in “A Complete Unknown.”

The aforementioned footwear hailed from Gianvito Rossi. Retailing for $815 via the brand’s website, the Plexi pump features a mix of white patent leather and synthetic see-through materials accompanied by sharp triangular pointed toes. Leather soles gave way to stiletto heels standing at 4.1 inches in height, lifting Barbaro to new heights.

The PVC paneling created a futuristic finish, contrasting the more classic patent leather construction. If all-white pumps aren’t your thing, the Plexi silhouette comes in a variety of unique colorways including “Red” and “Black.” Similar styles fixed with transparent elements can be shopped via brands like Christian Louboutin, Amina Muaddi, Schutz, Alaia, Off-White, Paris Texas and Jimmy Choo, among others.

Retailing for $1850, the garment featured long sleeves, ruched detailing and a daring plunging neckline. Barbaro also wore high-shine Bvlgari jewelry centered around snake-inspired motifs.
