Dua Lipa traded color-blocked Cannes footwear for a full silver read on Friday, wearing Le Silla’s Shirley sandals to the Nespresso x Dua Lipa photocall.
The singer attended the event at Nespresso Beach during the 79th annual Cannes Film Festival in the Italian brand’s Shirley Heeled Sandals in Silver, a $836 style with a 120mm stiletto heel. The pair gave her earlier Cannes footwear shift a cleaner second act: after stepping out that day in bright red Ferragamo Itaca mules with a curved, S-shaped heel, Lipa went fully reflective for the beachside photocall.

The Le Silla sandals had a high-shine silver finish that read close to chrome against the blue Nespresso backdrop. The front sat low across the toes with an open square-cut vamp, a metallic band across the foot and a slim silver stiletto. A curved side and back panel wrapped the heel, while the narrow sole left the pedicure visible at the squared front. .

Lipa wore the sandals with an archival Jean Paul Gaultier mini dress from the spring 2009 collection. The top portion was built around thin metallic shoulder straps, a gunmetal bra-like bodice, a soft V neckline and a narrow peekaboo band under the bust. Long silver strands draped over the body, with darker sheer panels visible through the lower half and a jagged triangle hem cutting around the upper thigh. She added Bvlgari Serpenti jewelry at the neck and wrist; she was named an ambassador by the Italian luxury house back in February.

The Nespresso setting also gave the silver sandals a through line with one of Lipa’s earlier brand appearances. In March, after Nespresso announced her as its new global brand ambassador, she attended a New York event for the partnership in white Christian Louboutin Miss Z pumps and a ruched white Versace dress.
