Mikey Madison looked exceptionally elegant at the Harper’s Bazaar Women of the Year event on Thursday night. The Oscar winner attended the red carpet in a tea-length dress that had a decidedly retro look to it. But it was Madison’s shoes that really caught our attention.

First, let’s start with the dress, which deserves its own recognition. Madison opted for a grey silk Dior moment with a subtle floral pattern that added a touch of playfulness to the otherwise very sophisticated ensemble. The dress also boasted a strapless bodice, which continued into a column skirt with a partial overskirt in the same pattern, adding some dimension to the piece. The style is very reminiscent of 1950s fashion when overskirts were all the rage (and a favorite of Christian Dior, specifically).

Madison modernized the dress with her shoe choice, a pair of heeled sandals from Dior’s fall 2026 collection. Called the Dior Flora, the shoes were made with Dior Byzance Garden metallic jacquard, which covers the rounded T-strap shape. On top is the pièce de résistance—a hand-painted, crystal-adorned metal flower. The sandals pay homage to Dior’s history with florals, dating back to Dior’s mother’s rose garden and his sister’s work as a flower trader and farmer.

Given the complexity of the shoes, Madison’s simple dress makes all the more sense. The floral dress acts as a complement to her footwear, while still allowing the real stars to shine. Madison smartly styled the look simply, adding only some Tiffany & Co. jewels, including earrings and a pendant featuring the jewelry brand’s Bird on a Rock motif. As a result, the birds that adorn her look like they’re just biding their time before they swoop down to land on the metallic flowers planted on her feet.
