Storm Reid Nails High-Low Glam in Etro Leather Shorts & Metallic Gold Stilettos

When Storm Reid arrived at the Jimmy Kimmel Live! studio in Los Angeles on February 27, 2020, she paired an Etro Resort 2020 pink knit sweater with deep burgundy leather shorts and metallic gold ankle-strap stiletto sandals.

Reid was appearing on the late-night show ahead of the theatrical release of The Invisible Man, but one of the interview’s most memorable stories reached back to the filming of an earlier family-drama film.

While filming An American Girl: Lea to the Rescue in South Africa, she and her mother accidentally left their hotel patio door open, allowing a group of monkeys into the room.

Reid had saved video of the aftermath for years before finally sharing it with Jimmy Kimmel.

Inside, the monkeys tore through the room and helped themselves to Reid’s Simba Chips, the South African potato-chip brand she had been enjoying during the shoot.

For the appearance, Reid combined soft knitwear with structured leather, wearing Etro pieces from two seasonal collections.

Her pink Resort 2020 sweater featured a buttoned neckline and contrasting paisley patchwork along the sleeves, while her high-waisted leather mini shorts came from Spring 2020. The mixed textures offered an early glimpse of the more adventurous designer dressing documented throughout Reid’s evolving red-carpet style.

She carried a Louis Vuitton monogram backpack by its top handle and accessorized with gold jewelry from APM Monaco. On her feet, metallic gold open-toe sandals featured barely-there toe and ankle straps set on slim stiletto heels.

The reflective finish worked almost like a neutral against the pink-and-burgundy Etro separates, adding polish without competing with the paisley detailing — a styling approach seen repeatedly in celebrity looks featuring metallic shoes.

Metallic heels would later return to Reid’s Jimmy Kimmel Live! wardrobe.

For a January 2023 appearance, she arrived in rose-gold and silver Malone Souliers Maureen mules with a pink The Attico mini dress before changing into silver Versace Barely sandals for the interview.

How Celebrities Make Metallic Heels Work Beyond the Red Carpet

Storm Reid’s gold ankle-strap sandals worked because they didn’t compete with the pink knit and burgundy leather—they added shine while letting the Etro textures carry the look.

Other celebrity outfits show the same formula in different ways, from gold stilettos with tailored shorts to barely-there metallic sandals against vivid pink.
