At the 2019 amfAR Cannes Gala at Hotel du Cap-Eden-Roc in Cap d’Antibes, France, Kendall Jenner unveiled one of the year’s most talked-about designer collaborations: the Giambattista Valli x HM collection.

Rather than simply wearing a red-carpet gown, she introduced the capsule’s signature bubblegum-pink tulle look alongside its matching metallic bow sandals, giving the public its first close look at pieces that would quickly become collector’s items.
She was joined at the event by Elsa Hosk, who styled a silky white Redemption mini dress with matching gloves and René Caovilla’s white crystal-embellished satin pumps.

The dramatic high-low dress captured Giambattista Valli’s couture-inspired aesthetic with layers of frothy pink tulle, a detachable train that transformed it into a mini dress, and a black bow belt that defined the waist.

Her coordinating strappy sandals were also part of the Giambattista Valli x HM collaboration. Finished with slim ankle straps and metallic bow accents across the toes, they mirrored the gown’s playful detailing without competing with its dramatic layers of pink tulle.
Both the dress and sandals sold out during the collaboration’s 2019 release and are now found mainly through resale platforms.
Giambattista Valli’s current footwear remains available at Farfetch, where selected styles were an additional 20% off in August 2026, including 110mm cutout pumps reduced to $442, 75mm rhinestone pumps for $778, bow-detailed slingbacks for $527, and 40mm bow-embellished pumps for $593. Prices and availability may change.
