For so many of us, Jessica Alba is at the top of the woman crush list. She’s drop-dead gorgeous, kind, and business-savvy—so it was surprising to learn that even she has her own woman crushes.
In February 2017, Jessica was seen posing with her femme fatale friends at the Vanity Fair Oscars after-party in Los Angeles.

Jessica opted for a sweeter, whimsical look instead of her usual sultry style. The actress-turned-entrepreneur wore a pale blue chiffon Ralph & Russo gown that was accented with ruffles and lined with silk.

The then-35-year-old movie actress finished her look with a clutch from Jimmy Choo and a pair of silver Giuseppe Zanotti “Betty” sandals.
The Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Betty’ platform sandals are a red carpet staple, beloved for their bold platform, sky-high heel, and sleek silhouette. More than just adding inches, these heels transform a woman’s posture, mood, and confidence—a sentiment Zanotti himself embraces.

The Italian shoe designer once said, “High heels are like a beauty lift. In a flat, you can feel beautiful, but a stiletto changes your mood, how you move—like a wild, beautiful animal.”
At 5ft 6 ¼ in (168.3 cm), Jessica Alba gained several inches with the towering ‘Betty’ sandals, creating a statuesque, elongated silhouette that perfectly complemented her whimsical Ralph & Russo gown. The metallic finish added a modern, polished touch, proving once again why Zanotti’s designs remain a red carpet essential.

Jessica unveiled her woman crushes by posting her #womancrushwednesday photo with them on Instagram captioned “#wcw @gabunion @oliviamunn.” Her female friends, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Munn, kept her entertained all throughout the post-Oscars party.
The then-mom-of-two took her husband, Cash Warren, as her date to the party. Jessica also uploaded behind-the-scenes snaps of her getting ready for the night.
