Brinkley, who has been a longtime friend of FN, opted for Christian Louboutin’s extravagant Krystal du Desert Spike ankle wrap sandals in black. The stylish pair features wide straps over the vamps, which are decorated with glistening crystals throughout. The supermodel’s sandals are a special edition of the Louboutin Sandale du Désert.
The sandals are distinguished by its delicate details, like a shiny crêpe satin ribbon that ties delicately around the ankle. The sandals are set atop a slender 100mm heel that elevates the shoe’s harmonious lines.

The French footwear designer currently offers the Sandale du Desert in all white as part of their wedding collection and in their new Miss Z silhouette. They retail for $995. The model wore the heels with an all-black, long-sleeve dress with structured shoulders and a high neck.
Brinkley-Cook followed in her mother’s footsteps, opting to make a splashy entrance into the award show’s red carpet with strass-covered black slingback heels, also from Louboutin. The shoes featured an alluring peep-toe design that revealed her red pedicure, which highlighted the shoe brand’s signature red sole.

The all-black shoes were held in place with a strap along the back of the foot, that stands on a heel measuring around four inches. The up and coming model styled the shoes with a brown and black metallic sequined dress that glowed just as much as the heels.
