During one of America’s Got Talent’s exciting red carpet events in July 2013, judges Heidi Klum and Mel B once again showcased their standout fashion choices, proving their styles were as captivating as ever.

Mel B turned heads with bold, eye-catching heels, while Heidi opted for a more classic and elegant look, staying true to her signature style. Their fashionable choices made the event even more memorable, as fans admired their impeccable taste.

These Giuseppe Zanotti serpent sandals have become a celebrity staple since their debut last fall, gracing the red carpets with undeniable flair.

Taylor Swift gave them a classic touch at the BRIT Awards, pairing them with an Elie Saab gown. Brittany Snow showcased their versatility with a sleek ensemble, while Nicole Scherzinger and Naomie Harris brought edgy glamour with their own stunning takes. These heels sold out instantly but were thankfully reissued – proving their enduring appeal!

Giuseppe Zanotti’s popularity stems from his unique blend of innovative design, Italian craftsmanship, and collaborations with high-profile celebrities. His creations, such as the iconic ‘Harmony’ sandals, have become red-carpet staples, adored by stars like Rihanna and Olivia Holt for their sleek, minimalist design and elegance.

Zanotti’s commitment to quality and style is evident in his handmade Italian footwear, which often features bold embellishments and sculptural elements, making them both statement pieces and symbols of luxury. Collaborations with artists like Jennifer Lopez have further cemented his status in the fashion industry, blending his signature aesthetic with contemporary influences.

Heidi Klum Shines in Jimmy Choo Jada Sandals with a Michael Kors Printed Dress

Heidi gave her Saint Laurent pumps a rest and went for another elegant style, but this time from Jimmy Choo.

The 40-year-old model complemented her summery “Jada” sandals with a printed Michael Kors dress in yellow and black.

The dress somehow depicts the transition between summer and fall, as the top is reminiscent of bandage bikinis. Still, the bottom depicts falling leaves, which we love even more for its slightly blurred effect for the full-on autumn-in-a-dress experience.

The back is made of black fabric to break the strong leaf print and to give the bandage dress a little contrast to make things more interesting — a design decision we give two thumbs up to.

She added a Rodarte belt to the dress and further accessorized it with multiple jewelry pieces, making her outfit a little too busy. Still, she was radiant as always.
