At the 62nd Annual Grammy Awards in Los Angeles in January 2020, Camila Cabello paired an embellished Atelier Versace couture dress with towering black Versace platform sandals, continuing a run of statement footwear that also included Aquazzura crystal sandals, Christian Louboutin’s sparkling Follies Strass pumps, and Sam Edelman heels during the Romance era.
This gallery looks back at several of Cabello’s standout late-2019 and early-2020 red carpet appearances, with a closer look at the designer shoes that completed each outfit and how they worked with her styling.

Stylist Rob Zangardi finished the look with Le Vian diamonds, including a headline-making $2 million collar necklace alongside tennis diamonds, earrings, rings, and stacked bangles.
Cabello finished the look with glossy black patent leather Versace platform sandals. The towering silhouette complemented the dramatic proportions of the couture dress while adding several inches to her 5’2″ frame, creating a longer leg line beneath the sheer overskirt.

Camila Cabello Changes Into Pink Versace and Sam Edelman Yaro Sandals for “First Man”
The singer was one of the performers during the ceremony. Trading her edgy black dress for a girly pink custom Versace frock, she took to the stage to sing First Man, off her second studio album Romance.
While singing the song, videos from her childhood were shown in the background. She also went off the stage and sang the song to her father, Alejandro, who was emotional during her performance.
She paired her pink dress with matching Sam Edelman ‘Yaro’ sandals and Le Vian Peach Morganite earrings.
Weeks before the Grammys, Cabello showcased a very different shoe choice while promoting Romance during the holiday concert circuit.
Aquazzura Very Vera Sandals Complete Camila Cabello’s Jingle Ball Look
For the event, Camila went for a cute but sexy look in a white Raisa Vanessa Spring/Summer 2020 dress. The one-shoulder mini features an asymmetrical neckline with sheer and ruffle-detailed long sleeves, a cutout waist detail, and a ruched, ruffled mini skirt that allowed her to show off her nice legs.

The petite Cuban-American pop star wore her signature long curls down with a parted fringe and accentuated her features with metallic eyeshadow, complementing blush, and pink lip gloss.

She completed the look with Aquazzura’s crystal-embellished Very Vera sandals.
While Camila paired the sparkling nude suede heels with a romantic ruffled mini dress, Ruth Wilson styled the same design with a red, star-embellished Michael Kors dress at the 2019 Evening Standard Theatre Awards, proving how the crystal-covered silhouette worked equally well with bold evening tailoring and softer, feminine looks.
In Cabello’s case, however, the fit appeared slightly short, with her toes extending beyond the front edge of the sandals—a reminder that delicate evening sandals are at their best when the sizing is exact.

Cabello chose Aquazzura’s Very Vera sandals in nude suede, a barely-there silhouette illuminated by faceted crystals tracing the slim toe strap and ankle strap above 105 mm (4.25-inch) stiletto heels. The neutral suede virtually disappeared against her skin, allowing the crystal embellishments to catch the light without competing with the ruffled dress.
Shopping note: The Very Vera has since been discontinued, but Aquazzura continues to build on the same glamorous, crystal-embellished aesthetic. As of July 2026, Farfetch carries styles including the Tequila, Love Struck, Crystal Lover, Ce Soir, and Hold Me Crystal sandals, all of which offer a similarly sparkling evening look.

Christian Louboutin Follies Strass Pumps Elevate Camila Cabello’s Ralph Russo Couture Dress
Earlier that week, Cabello attended the L’Oréal Paris Women of Worth Awards in New York wearing another couture look paired with crystal-covered heels.
She dressed to the nines in a dramatic mini from Ralph Russo’s Fall 2019 Couture collection.
The colorful one-shoulder, ruched frock features a sweetheart neckline, a large bow detail on one shoulder, another bow on the waist, and a floor-sweeping sash train.

Cabello paired the couture mini with Christian Louboutin’s Follies Strass pumps, allowing the crystal-covered mesh silhouette to echo the sparkle of the dress without competing with its bold colors.
