Demi Lovato Brings a Hardware-Heavy Heel to West Hollywood

The Abbey hosted its National PrEP Day celebration, and Demi Lovato arrived dressed for a room that appreciates a sharp line. The singer chose a short dress built with a corset's structure, which did the quiet work of letting the footwear take the spotlight. The shoes were black pumps with a narrow toe, their surfaces opened up with cutouts and finished in small metal studs. It is a pairing that reads as deliberate rather than loud: one piece of tailoring, one piece of attitude, and nothing competing with either. For a venue that has long been a Los Angeles fixture on nights like this one, it was exactly the right amount of edge.
