Nina Dobrev made a dazzling entrance at the Red Sea International Film Festival 2025 in Saudi Arabia on Thursday night, taking to the red carpet for the “Giant” premiere in crystal-encrusted Aquazzura heels, along with an equally sparkly Lanvin dress.
“The Vampire Diaries” slipped into Aquazzura’s Passions 105mm pointed-toe pumps for the star-studded evening. Made in Italy, the silhouette featured sheer mesh panels framed by black piping, which created a cage-like effect. Sure to catch the light with every step, the embellished vertical crystal beading, meanwhile, added dimension to the stilettos. Dobrev’s heels are currently marked down to $840 on the designer’s site.

Dobrev dialed up the glamour with a black velvet column-style gown from Lanvin’s pre-fall 2025 collection. Sculptural and dramatic in equal measure, the sumptuous number boasted embellished draping over the shoulders, which cascaded down the back, almost like liquid chainmail. The piece’s side cutouts and completely open back revealed ample skin. A front slit gave the look fluidity, as well as a subtle glimpse of Dobrev’s high-shine heels.
