Yara Shahidi never fails to make head-turning entrances in bold red carpet looks peppered with her signature cool edge. She can pull off anything, whether it be a denim ensemble or a shimmery blackberry frock. Her footwear choices are also on point. In the past, she’s opted for Tamara Mellon, Jimmy Choo and Giuseppe Zanotti for big events.
Most recently, Yara exuded understated elegance in two stylish looks at the 2017 MTV Video Music Awards. She wore looks from Zimmermann and Rodarte, which she styled with shoes from Giuseppe Zanotti and Jimmy Choo that showed off her pedicured feet.
1. Zimmermann Fall 2017 gown and Giuseppe Zanotti “Darcie” sandals
The 17-year-old actress arrived at the star-studded awards ceremony in a gold silk gown from Zimmermann featuring a one-shoulder design, a boned bodice, draped detailing, and a crossover skirt with an asymmetrical hem. Her dress also had a bow accent on the shoulder, and it was cinched at the waist with a contrasting black belt. Unfortunately, there were visible creases around the waist, but Yara still looked great nonetheless. If you wish to emulate this look, you can get a similar version of this dress in French navy at Shopbop.
Her curls were styled in a side-parted ponytail, which showcased her flawless makeup and statement earrings from Porcelain Chyna. She finished off her look with rose gold heels from Giuseppe Zanotti.

2. Rodarte Fall 2017 ensemble and Jimmy Choo “Kris 120” sandals
While Yara’s first look exuded low-key glamour, her second outfit was all about youthful elegance. Yara changed into a white gold ensemble from Rodarte for her appearance in the press room. This Fall 2017 pearl-embellished look consisted of a cropped bustier top and an asymmetrical skirt. She styled her ensemble with Jimmy Choo “Kris 120” sandals, which are currently on sale at Farfetch.
