The Academy Awards are the biggest night in Hollywood, and the event calls for a black-tie dress code, which means the women attendees usually go for a floor-length gown. This means their shoes and high heels are usually concealed beneath their long skirts and hems, but shoes remain a key component when putting their ensembles together for the big night. While trends come and go, classic Manolo Blahnik heels have been a popular shoe choice at the Oscars for years.
The designer shoes are known for their understated elegance, clean designs, and tasteful heels that pair well with just about any ensemble. While the brand’s signature Manolo Blahnik BB pumps are always a go-to shoe style for awards season, the brand’s Carolyne slingback has also been a standout choice for celebrities over the years. Margot Robbie, Jennifer Lawrence, Goldie Hawn and more have called on the brand for their Oscars red carpet shoes, with some even getting custom designs from the luxury shoe brand.
Take a look at some of the best Manolo Blahnik moments at the Oscars over the years.
