Demi Lovato gave her honeymoon beach style an elevated twist, wearing Gianvito Rossi’s Ascent Thong sandals while vacationing in Bora Bora with husband Jordan “Jutes” Lutes.
In photos shared to Instagram on Tuesday with the caption “Honeymoon dump,” Lovato was seen wearing the heeled sandals during a beachside dinner. The pair, handcrafted in Italy from nappa leather, featured a rich brown finish with a thong-style toe strap, logo hardware and a 2.2-inch covered spool heel. The polished leather sole and buffed upper offered a clean, elevated finish.

She paired the sandals with Retrofête’s Jaycee dress in Sepia/Bronze, a backless halter gown done in metallic open-weave crochet. The ankle-length silhouette skimmed the body with soft drape and a subtle shimmer, mirroring the tone and texture of the mid-heel sandal beneath.

While the styling was distinctly vacation-minded, it echoed earlier shoe-driven choices. In September, Lovato wore slick red Le Silla stilettos with a Vivienne Westwood tartan suit while promoting her Hulu documentary “Child Star” on “The Tonight Show.” The heels, detailed with crystal accents, brought a sharp contrast to Westwood’s distorted tailoring — a pairing that, like her honeymoon look, let footwear take on a defining role without taking away from the outfit itself.
Gianvito Rossi’s sandals have become a go-to choice for celebrities who lean into elegance with a subtle edge. Nicole Ari Parker opted for the brand’s sculptural Black Mamba heels during a “Good Morning America” appearance earlier this month, pairing them with a utility-inspired shirtdress and metallic belt. The snake-like coils and bronze finish added dimension to an otherwise tonal look.
Earlier this year, Tate McRae took a similar approach on “The Tonight Show,” wearing Rossi’s Ribbon sandals with a sheer Alaïa dress. The patent leather heels featured delicate straps that wrapped the ankle like satin ties, adding a balletic twist to the minimalist silhouette.
With Lovato’s Bora Bora appearance, the Ascent sandal joins a growing list of Rossi styles that anchor looks blending structure, sheen, and subtle impact, whether on tour, TV, or the tail end of a honeymoon.
