Selma Blair brought forth an elegant look in pink satin strappy sandal while attending the 2025 Kentucky Derby.

For the event, the “Cruel Intentions” actress walked the red carpet in a pair of sleek satin strappy sandals that featured a square-toe design in the upper, and a thick satin strap that crossed the upper region of her foot. While the back of her shoes couldn’t be seen completely due to the longer length of her dress, the silhouette was likely finished by a heel measuring between 4-to-5 inches in height based on her previous preferences.

Blair paired her strappy shoes with the Odette Midi dress from Leo Lin, which is a fitted dress that features a reverse sweetheart neckline. The skirt was shaped with A-line design that itself was complimented by a fitted bodice and waist. Her dress was also fully lined, had a structured crinoline hem and an invisible back zip closure as the finisher. Aside from her dress and shoes, Blair kept her accessories minimal, wearing only a couple of bracelets and a pair of dangling earrings. As for her makeup, she opted for a bold red lip that provided a bright contrast to her sunny yellow gown.

Strappy sandals are a footwear style that has been around for decades, with many brands such as Chanel, Stuart Weitzman and Christian Louboutin carrying the style as a part of their catalogue. The early origins of strappy sandals dates back to the early 1900s, with the shoes having gone through many variations over the years. Strappy sandals can come in many different forms, including peep-toe designs, and have been praised for their versatility and ability to work well with a variety of outfits. They also often come with either a square or round-toe upper, and can have a variety of heel types as well.
