At the 2019 MTV Video Music Awards at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey, Hailee Steinfeld chose one of the evening’s most talked-about red carpet looks: a sheer crimson Aadnevik gown paired with equally striking Gianvito Rossi “Belvedere 105” satin sandals.
While Steinfeld embraced monochromatic elegance, other attendees took dramatically different footwear directions—from Rosalía’s sculptural Giuseppe for Christian Cowan gold watch-strap wedges to Tana Mongeau’s Nicola Bacchilega thigh-high snake boots and H.E.R.’s towering Giuseppe Zanotti platforms—making the 2019 VMAs one of the year’s most memorable showcases of celebrity shoe style.

Designed by Kristian Aadnevik and Hadas Aadnevik for the label’s Spring/Summer 2019 couture collection, the floor-length gown combined a lingerie-inspired corset structure with semi-sheer embroidered silk chiffon, exposed boning, and dramatic thigh-high side slits.

The revealing construction naturally drew attention, while the monochromatic styling—deep red lipstick, matching manicure, softly waved hair, and minimal diamond jewelry—kept the focus on the dress’s craftsmanship and silhouette.

The coordinating Gianvito Rossi sandals brought the monochromatic look into sharp focus. Finished in matching crimson satin, the “Belvedere 105” paired barely-there ankle and toe straps with a slender stiletto heel, while its sculptural fan-shaped ruffle transformed an otherwise minimalist silhouette into one of the house’s most memorable evening designs.
Against the sheer couture gown, the sandals added just enough drama without competing for attention.

Originally retailing for around $900–$1,050, the Belvedere was part of Gianvito Rossi’s 2018–2019 collection and is no longer in production. While the style occasionally appears on luxury resale marketplaces, the Italian label continues to reinterpret its signature elegant aesthetic with newer designs.
As of August 2026, Farfetch carries current Gianvito Rossi evening sandals, including the Flavia, Elle, Shanti, Bijoux, Sofia, Calypso, and Portofino collections, offering the same refined craftsmanship and slender, occasion-ready silhouettes that have made the brand a red-carpet favorite.
