In September 2013, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West made a much-talked-about appearance at the Givenchy fashion show in Paris, but they weren’t the only buzz-worthy celebs in attendance.
At Paris Fashion Week, all eyes were on Lily Collins and Anna Dello Russo as they arrived at the Givenchy Spring/Summer 2014 show—both wearing the brand’s now-iconic Bambi sweater. But it wasn’t just the twinning moment that stole the spotlight. From Givenchy’s statement Shark Lock sandals to bold snakeskin boots, this event became a showcase of celebrity-loved fashion that’s still influencing street style today.
In this style breakdown, we’ll look at how Lily and Anna each styled their Givenchy looks, why Shark Lock footwear has become a celebrity staple, and where you can shop similar pieces to recreate their show-stopping outfits.

Since its runway debut, the neoprene graphic sweater has become a must-have item. Several celebrities have been spotted wearing this designer piece featuring one of Disney’s most beloved cartoon characters.
Lily Collins Slays in Head-to-Toe Givenchy
The always-stunning Lily Collins also sat in the front row at the show and used the event to display her propensity for killer fashion once again.

Of course, the actress wore head-to-toe Givenchy. She paired her Bambi sweater from the brand’s Fall 2013 collection with a matching Bambi print clutch and popular shark-lock sandals.

We love that this classic beauty took a risk and wore the slouchy sweater as a dress. We also love how she mimicked the shark-lock detail on the sandals with the gold piece on her left ear.
Anna Dello Russo Goes Bold With Accessories
On the other hand, Anna Dello Russo opted for a bolder approach and went all out with her accessories. The self-proclaimed “passionate fashionista” took a cue from the Givenchy Autumn/Winter 2013 runway show.

She wore her Bambi sweater with an embellished belt and Givenchy tricolor snakeskin boots.
Her belt made the slouchy sweater look more flattering for her figure, and her striking boots were a bold choice to pair with the cartoon-printed sweater. Anna is passionate about fashion, and this outfit encapsulates her fierce style.
