The Actress With the Most Daring Dress-and-Shoe Combo at the Oscars
Last night at the 89th annual Academy Awards, Naomie Harris, who was nominated for her role in Moonlight, stepped out in what is now Raf Simmons’s first official red carpet moment in his role as the new chief creative officer at fashion house Calvin Klein. What a way to begin, with Harris sweeping everyone off their feet in a midi-length, sequined and strapless white dress with a floor-length train.
Aside from the white sequins (actually not bridal at all), proportion play, chic cutouts and perfect fit, what really wowed us about Harris’s look was actually her shoes (which are also by Calvin Klein). Not only were the two-strapped yellow sandals the perfect pop of colour to complement the dress, the mismatched embellishments on the straps of each shoe have us planning our next DIY project.
Scroll through to see her full look, get a close-up of her shoes and shop some of our favourite white strapless dresses to channel her look.

Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. It was a less expected route, seeing as she was graduating from business school at USC when this all began, but it has turned out to be the best one for her. Fast-forward to 2024, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was an intern starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to classic pieces and neutral basics but will always make an exception for something colorful, printed, or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a good party is dressing up for one. On weekdays, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious for dinner and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
