Vanessa Williams was prepared to shine from head to toe while attending the Fashion Awards 2025. The actress arrived at the event, presented by Pandora and held at the Royal Albert Hall in London on Monday, wearing a pair of sparkly Casadei heels.

She stepped onto the navy blue carpet in a pair of Casadei’s Julia Labuan sandals in glossy metallic silver leather. The heels featured an open-toe design with four straps going over the vamp and connecting at the center, thanks to a large pearl detail. The round-toe sandals are held in place with adjustable silver buckles sitting on dainty ankle straps that cross over on the back of the foot.
The straps on the sandals are decorated with a delicate strass detail all over, which adds to the already sparkly, high-shine metallic leather effect of the heels. The sandals feature an ultra-thin stiletto heel measuring 110mm. While the heels are not available on the Italian footwear designer’s website, they are available on luxury resale sites for a variety of prices.

Williams continued the mirror-effect with her dress, opting for a Pamella Roland strapless, ankle-length cocktail dress. The design was Look 10 from the designer’s spring 2026 collection. The silver dress was completely decorated with diamond details and crystal fringe shimmering throughout, which created tiers of sparkling embellishments.
The British Fashion Council invited some of the biggest names in the fashion world to celebrate the leading designers, creatives and influencers at this year’s Fashion Awards.
