Ashanti graced the green carpet at the 2024 Baby2Baby Gala held at the Pacific Design Center yesterday in Los Angeles. The musician attended alongside her husband and fellow performer Nelly.
Flattering her feet, the “Foolish” songstress sported a pair of ruby red sandals. The footwear featured shiny satin red uppers with round open toes, and thin but sturdy straps. Bows created a dainty and playful effect. The unique satin uppers create dimension, imparting a lux vibe.
Buckle closures created an adjustable fit, while 2 to 3-inch stiletto heels lifted Ashanti to new heights. For those looking to channel the songwriter’s green carpet footwear moment, brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Christian Louboutin, Rene Caovilla and Giuseppe Zanotti all feature comparable styles in an array of prices and sizes. While sandals are often reserved for the warmer months of the year, the silhouette can be worn year-round on the red carpet.
Going monochrome, the “Only U” singer wore a coordinating bright red gown featuring a form fit and voluminous half sleeves. The garment also included a high neckline heavily adorned with crystalized appliques along with a keyhole cut-out and a slit up the side. As for accessories, Ashanti wore shiny silver jewelry that mirrored the dazzling appliques fixed to her dress.

It seems that the Grammy-winning singer can take any simple style and elevate it by pairing it with bright and bold colors and patterns, like her bikini. Whether it be boots, sandals, heels or sneakers, Ashanti can seemingly make every shoe work.
