At the 90th Academy Awards at the Hollywood Highland Center in Hollywood, California, on March 4, 2018, Margot Robbie received her first Best Actress Oscar nomination for I, Tonya and stepped onto the red carpet in one of the defining fashion moments of her career.

Designed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel Haute Couture, the custom white silk gown was paired with white satin Roger Vivier ‘Es’sensual’ sandals, creating a monochromatic look that continues to be referenced whenever modern Oscars style is discussed.

Styled by Kate Young, the outfit balanced couture craftsmanship with understated accessories. Alongside Chanel Fine Jewelry and a glossy Chanel clutch, the satin Roger Vivier sandals completed the clean, uninterrupted silhouette while remaining visible beneath the column gown whenever Robbie walked or posed.
Although she later changed into silver Jimmy Choo ‘Minny’ sandals for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, the Roger Vivier heels are the pair most closely associated with her memorable Academy Awards appearance.

Behind the scenes, Young assembled an extensive styling kit—including gel insoles, stain-removal wipes, and other red-carpet essentials—to keep the look flawless throughout a day that stretched well beyond the ceremony.
She also revealed that Robbie relied on Still Standing, a non-numbing herbal foot spray designed to help relieve foot fatigue, allowing her to comfortably spend more than 12 hours in high heels during the Oscars festivities.

What Happened to Margot Robbie’s Roger Vivier Oscars Sandals?
Margot Robbie’s white satin Roger Vivier ‘Es’sensual’ sandals remain one of the defining shoe moments from the 2018 Academy Awards. The exact pair worn with her custom Chanel Haute Couture gown has never resurfaced publicly and has not appeared at auction, making it likely that it remains part of either the actress’s styling archive or Roger Vivier’s historical collection.
The Roger Vivier ‘Es’sensual’ sandal was part of the house’s seasonal collection and is no longer in production. As of August 2026, Farfetch still carries dozens of Roger Vivier sandals—including crystal-embellished evening styles, Belle Vivier designs, and satin heels—but the minimalist white satin ‘Es’sensual’ sandals worn by Margot Robbie at the 2018 Oscars are no longer available through the retailer. Collectors hoping to recreate her look must instead rely on luxury resale platforms, where authentic pairs surface only occasionally, while the exact white satin colorway remains exceptionally difficult to find.
Robbie wore the satin sandals throughout the Academy Awards ceremony before changing into silver Jimmy Choo ‘Minny’ sandals for the Vanity Fair Oscar Party, pairing them with a second Chanel Haute Couture look. During the ceremony, one of the gown’s delicate crystal-and-camellia shoulder straps reportedly came loose backstage and was temporarily secured with a safety pin, an example of the quick fixes often required behind the scenes at major red-carpet events.
