White on Red

A color combination fit for red carpet royalty

Red and white has always been such a regal pairing, so it’s only fitting that red carpet royalty like Doutzen Kroes and Jessica Biel went for the low-key shade that ended up making a big impact on the Croisette.

Doutzen was clad in a sexy, slinky number by Calvin Klein with a pair of simple strappy sandals while Jessica went for volume with a fairytale dress by Marchesa, pairing them with pointy-toed pumps. 

We love the idea of a statement dress with simple shoes that complement rather than compete for attention.

In Her Shoes: Catherine Kallon

Read about our collaboration with Red Carpet Fashion Awards and an interview with the blogger behind it all

When it comes to the red carpet, there is probably no one as updated as Catherine Kallon of Red Carpet Fashion Awards.

She started the blog in 2007 when she realized how many red carpet looks were being credited incorrectly. Today, she is one of the most respected bloggers in the industry for her up-to-the-minute coverage (with precise designer credits, naturally) and honest commentary.

The Cannes Film Festival is now fully underway and in collaboration with us, Catherine is posting her favorite looks of the day with the shoes to match from shoescribe.com. Starting next Monday, she will also be our Guest Curator for the week, choosing five red carpet-worthy Stars for each day of the week and her picks for a Riviera vacation.

Check back on Red Carpet Fashion Awards for her daily shoescribe.com posts and read our interview with her below on her life from the shoe point of view.

Emma Day and Night

Emma Watson picks a pump for both day and night

There is perhaps no other style that is more versatile and chic than the black pump as demonstrated by Emma Watson, who wore the style both during her daytime photo call and evening red carpet event for Sofia Coppola’s The Bling Ring.

The Bright and the Beautiful

Freida Pinto and Julianne Moore shine bright on the red carpet with metallic sandals

'The Great Gatsby' film premiere, 66th Cannes Film Festival, France - 15 May 2013

When looking to make an impression on the red carpet, a shiny shoe (and a few jewels here and there) will certainly give you an edge over the couture-clad competition.

Freida Pinto and Julianne Moore went for metallic strappy sandals, adding a brilliant touch to their already brightly hued dresses, making them two of the best dressed of the evening.
