The Earle sisters brought their signature styles to the Los Angeles premiere of their Netflix reality series, Earle Meets World, held at the Netflix Tudum Theater.
Their contrasting fashion personalities have become part of the fun: during the show’s New York press tour, Alix and Ashtin Earle showed just how differently they approach statement shoes, from Alix’s vintage Manolo Blahnik pumps to Ashtin’s Jimmy Choo fishnet booties and towering Dior platforms.

That contrast carried straight onto the LA red carpet. At 5′6″ (168 cm), Alix went sophisticated and Grecian-inspired in head-to-toe Gucci, pairing an elegant white dress with classic black pumps.
Her younger sister Ashtin, who stands approximately 5′8½″ (174 cm), leaned into her edgier side in an archival Maison Martin Margiela dress and barely-there embellished sandals. Side by side, their different heights and sharply contrasting aesthetics made each look feel even more distinctive.

The sisters were also joined by their family, including their dad, TJ Earle, stepmom Ashley Dupré, and half-siblings Izabel, Penelope, and Thomas James, who came out to celebrate the series’ big premiere.
Let’s take a closer look at what the Earle sisters wore.
Alix Earle Goes Grecian in Gucci Bombshell Pumps and a Draped White Dress
Alix Earle has always had a knack for polished simplicity, and she brought that sensibility to the Earle Meets World LA premiere with a classic black-and-white palette. The look felt clean and elegant at first glance, but the dramatic draping and flashes of gold kept it from playing things too safe.
For footwear, Alix wore Gucci’s “Bombshell 120” leather pumps from the Spring/Summer 2026 collection, priced at $1,350 at Mytheresa. The retailer also carries an extensive selection from Gucci’s Bombshell line, including pumps, embellished mules, ankle boots, knee-high boots, and over-the-knee styles. The sculptural pump has already found another high-profile fan: Halle Berry wore Gucci’s Bombshell pumps with an all-black power suit to the Crime 101 premiere in February 2026.
Crafted from smooth black leather, Alix’s pumps featured sleek pointed toes and slender 4.3-inch stiletto heels with a gleaming gold-tone finish. That sharp silhouette grounded the softness of her flowing ivory dress, while the black leather created a crisp contrast and the metallic heels added an unexpected flash of glamour.
It’s a formula Alix returns to often. She previously used white Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” mules to sharpen an all-ivory Staud look, showing how a streamlined heel can quietly transform even the simplest monochromatic outfit.

Alix paired the pumps with Gucci’s $5,200 long off-white draped dress, giving major Grecian goddess energy. The asymmetrical design left one arm completely bare while a fitted long sleeve covered the other. A high mock neckline was softly gathered and draped, with the fluid fabric wrapping across the bodice to create an elegant, sculpted shape.
The dress became even more dramatic with a thigh-high asymmetrical slit that rose high on one hip, while the opposite side extended into a sweeping floor-length train. A deep back opening added another unexpected touch, balancing the ethereal feel with a little attitude.
Alix wore her blonde hair in a loose, messy updo with face-framing strands, while soft glam makeup defined her eyes and lips. She kept the jewelry minimal, wearing just a few delicate rings so the dress and pumps could take center stage.

Ashtin Earle Goes Grunge-Glam in Strappy Sandals and Archival Maison Martin Margiela
Ashtin Earle took a much more ’90s grunge-glam approach, choosing a metallic look with strappy heels that contrasted sharply with her sister Alix’s polished white-and-black ensemble.
She wore delicate strappy sandals with multiple thin straps crossing over the foot, decorated with tiny gold-toned sequins that added enough sparkle. The open-toe design showed off her black pedicure, giving the shoes an even cooler, rebellious finish.
Their barely-there silhouette worked well with Ashtin’s long dress, adding a sexy touch.

Ashtin’s archival dress came from Maison Martin Margiela’s Spring/Summer 1996 collection, known for its clever trompe-l’œil designs and rebellious, anti-fashion approach. The gown featured a 2D photographic print of a vintage sequined evening dress, transferred onto lightweight, fluid jersey fabric.
I loved the illusion here. The printed sequins made the dress look 3D from a distance, even though the fabric itself remained smooth and fluid.
The column silhouette kept the overall look sleek, with a plunging neckline and floor-length hem that pooled slightly above her sandals and helped elongate her frame.
She kept accessories minimal, adding a chunky silver chrome cuff bracelet and a statement ring that matched the dress’s metallic finish.

Why Celebrities Love Archival Maison Martin Margiela: The Ultimate IYKYK Fashion
Ashtin’s 1996 dress is more than a great vintage pull. Archival Maison Martin Margiela has become an “if you know, you know” fashion statement, giving celebrities something increasingly difficult to find on the red carpet: exclusivity without an obvious logo.
Margiela built his reputation by rejecting conventional luxury, from anonymous white labels and exposed construction to deconstructed silhouettes and trompe-l’œil effects like the one on Ashtin’s dress. Wearing one of those original pieces signals an appreciation for fashion history rather than simply access to the newest designer collection.
That rarity only adds to the appeal. Original Margiela-era runway pieces are finite, making a well-preserved design from the 1990s or early 2000s far harder to source than a look from a current collection. Irina Shayk demonstrated the same archival instinct in vintage Maison Margiela from Fall/Winter 2001, showing how the house’s experimental designs can still look provocative decades later.
Margiela’s influence is hardly confined to the archives. The house remains a celebrity favorite for stars who want something more conceptual than conventional red-carpet glamour. Maisie Williams went full Margiela at the 2026 Practical Magic 2 LA premiere, pairing a Glenn Martens Fall 2026 dress with sculptural heel-less boots, while Rihanna embraced Maison Margiela Couture at the 2026 Met Gala. Zoe Saldaña took a quieter approach in MM6 Maison Margiela ballet flats at the Locarno Film Festival.
That experimental spirit is still easy to see in Maison Margiela’s current women’s shoe collection, which spans more than 140 styles, from the house’s cult split-toe Tabi ballerinas, mules, and sandals to sculptural heel-less pumps and Western boots. The designs carry forward the same idea that made Martin Margiela’s early work so influential: even something as familiar as a shoe can be taken apart, questioned, and made strange again.
For Ashtin, choosing a nearly 30-year-old Martin Margiela design makes that connection especially fitting. While Alix relied on the immediate polish of Gucci’s pointed pumps and draped white dress, Ashtin chose a piece whose appeal partly depends on recognizing the history behind it. It’s fashion as an insider reference—and perhaps the clearest expression yet of what separates the Earle sisters’ style personalities.
