The contrast between the white dress and her bronzed skin created a striking visual effect. Her glowing complexion was courtesy of the limited edition St Tropez Tan Getaway Kit, a collaboration between the model and the brand that has seen Graham become the global brand ambassador for the renowned tanning brand.
This look highlights the ongoing trend of monochromatic outfits paired with matching footwear. Rita Ora is another celebrity who has embraced the trend while on her press tour for her new film, “Descendants: The Rise of the Red.” Channeling her onscreen character, the actress and singer has donned head-to-toe red looks for the past couple of days.
Strappy sandals, in particular, have made a significant comeback this summer. They’re not only fashionable but also functional, providing a comfortable yet chic option for day-to-night wear. Whether seen on the streets of New York or on the red carpet, these sandals are a favorite among stylists and celebrities for their timeless appeal.
