When Sydney Sweeney stepped out for her 28th birthday bash in Los Angeles, all eyes were on her glittering, space-age outfit — but it was her shoes that truly stole the spotlight. Wrapped in celestial shimmer, she floated into the party wearing René Caovilla’s now-iconic Cleo star sandal, turning the red carpet (or in her case, an intergalactic dance floor) into a style moment worth copying.
Known for its elegant spiral ankle strap and stiletto silhouette, the Cleo sandal has long been a favorite among fashion insiders. But this season, it gets a glamorous upgrade: twinkling star embellishments, echoing the cosmos and aligning perfectly with Sweeney’s outer space theme. These aren’t your average party heels — they’re conversation starters, camera catchers, and confidence boosters, all wrapped into one.
Each pair is handcrafted in Italy, blending couture-level craftsmanship with show-stopping detail. The signature coiled strap, dusted in micro-crystals, winds up the ankle like stardust in motion. The star appliqués sparkle with every step, making them ideal for birthday celebrations, rooftop cocktails, or that one winter gala where you want to channel serious main character energy.
Sydney styled her pair with a silver micro-mini dress (a vintage piece once worn by Britney Spears, no less), but these sandals work just as beautifully with a sleek black jumpsuit, a high-slit satin gown, or even tailored trousers and a crystal top. Think of them as your secret weapon for dressing up anything — the kind of shoe that can elevate your look from stylish to unforgettable.
For those planning a wardrobe refresh as party season approaches, René Caovilla’s Cleo star sandal is a worthy investment. It’s bold, elegant, and undeniably fun — the perfect balance of classic design and celestial drama.
Because if Sydney Sweeney has taught us anything, it’s that birthdays are better with a little sparkle. And stars? They belong on your feet.
