The footwear is extremely versatile and leans both formal and casual depending on how it’s styled. Boots, no matter the style, are also extremely accessible, given that they are widely available from both low and high-end brands including Aldo, Bottega Veneta and Hunter among others.

Ferrera was outfitted in a white maxi-length gown the awards, likened to bridal wear. The garment fell off the shoulders and featured voluminous sleeves gathered to look like large blooming rosettes. The thespian’s dress also featured a flared skirt featuring a tattered hemline. Simply accessorizing, Ferrera sported a variety of diamond-encrusted jewelry which included dainty stud earrings and rings.

When it comes to shoes, Ferrera opts for colorful and sharp styles. The “Ugly Betty” actress often wears pointed-toe pumps and heeled sandals for formal events, hailing from brands including Christian Louboutin. When off-duty, she can also be seen in heeled leather boots, as well as Nike and Converse sneakers.
