Tia Mowry brought Old Hollywood glamour to the “Wonka” premiere red carpet on Sunday night in Los Angeles, donning a feathered purple minidress and a pair of glittering metallic sandals. The crystalline heels, designed by famed shoemaker Amina Muaddi, elevated Mowry’s ensemble with their intricately embellished straps – one wrapping slenderly around her ankle, another decorating the shoes’ square toe box. Perched atop a slim 3-inch pyramid heel, the sandals appeared almost mercurial under the camera flashes, casting refractive rainbow shards onto the red carpet.
Mowry’s dress, a sleeveless number with a sheer overlay completely covered in sequin tassels, came courtesy of designer Des Phemmes’ 2023 fall collection. Its striking amethyst hue matched the actress’ smoky eye makeup and complemented the rose gold hardware of her jewelry. Mowry further accessorized with diamond stud earrings, a medley of sparkling statement rings stacked on her fingers, glinting bangles at her wrist, and a crystallized shoulder bag. Her dark locks were swept cleanly into a ballerina bun, ensuring maximium wattage from her glittering accessories.
The former Disney star has fast become recognized as a red carpet darling with an envy-inducing shoe closet. Last week, Mowry posted a video on Instagram of herself playfully backing away from fans – wearing none other than a pair of crystal-laced Saint Laurent boots. When off duty, she keeps it casual in fall booties or crisp white sneakers. But for high profile events, Mowry never fails to bring the glitz, having sported styles like bedazzled pumps and metallic thigh-highs from luxury labels such as Christian Dior and Jessica Rich. On Sunday night, her crystalline Muaddis vaulted her right to the top of best-dressed lists. With a penchant for both affordability and splurge-worthy indulgence, Mowry remains a style icon in the making.
