At the 2016 MTV Europe Music Awards, The Vampire Diaries star Nina Dobrev turned heads in a dreamy lilac Elie Saab gown that was pure red carpet magic.
Due to the length of her dress, her shoes were not visible, but she reportedly wore Soebedar’s Foglia laser-cut sandals. She also wore shoes from Sieta Soebedar’s luxury footwear brand with David Koma’s white tank and black pencil skirt combo dress at the Hollywood premiere of The Promise.
Also turning heads on the 2016 MTV EMAs red carpet were Jourdan Dunn, who stunned in a sleek Balmain ensemble, and Kenza Zouiten, who brought playful glamour in a pink embellished fringe mini dress.
Though nearly a decade has passed since the event, this pastel-perfect moment remains one of Nina’s most memorable style wins—a timeless reminder of why Elie Saab is a go-to for ethereal glamour.

Why Nina Dobrev’s Jimmy Choo Clutch Was the Perfect Match
Paired with a sleek mirrored silver Jimmy Choo “Cloud Tube” clutch, the then-27-year-old’s ensemble struck the perfect balance between soft romance and a modern edge. This combo proves that great styling never goes out of fashion.

The Cloud Tube: Jimmy Choo’s Sleekest Statement Clutch
The Cloud Tube clutch by Jimmy Choo features a distinctive elongated, tubular silhouette built on a metallic frame, giving it a structured and sculptural shape. Measuring approximately 21 cm in width, 8 cm in height, and 5 cm in depth, its compact design is ideal for carrying evening essentials like a phone, lipstick, and cards.
Part of Jimmy Choo’s celebrated lineup of statement evening bags, the Cloud Tube, under Sandra Choi’s creative direction, reflects the brand’s “playfully daring spirit,” combining architectural elegance with high-glamour appeal.

Unlike the classic Jimmy Choo Cloud Clutch—which comes in various shapes and softer materials like suede, lace, or embellished leather—the Cloud Tube stands out for its rigid metal construction, sleek mirrored finishes, and elongated profile. With its signature sculptural clasp and red carpet-ready shine, it’s a bold, modern twist on traditional evening accessories.
