Angelina Jolie made a sharp statement — and defied the summer heat — with her latest off-duty look.

On Wednesday, the Oscar-winning actress visited New York City with daughter Vivienne Jolie-Pitt, sleekly dressed in all-black. For the occasion, Jolie slipped on a set of black pumps, featuring thin soles with smooth suede uppers. The style was complete with sharply pointed toes for a classic finish.

Jolie’s heels could not be seen, though her pair was likely finished with thin stiletto heels totaling between 3 to 4 inches in height — given the shoe’s base and similar pairs on the market.

The style certainly added a formal base to her outfit, however: a black wool-blend suit with high-waisted trousers and a sharply lapeled blazer, layered over a silky lace-trimmed camisole. The trio was further elevated by Jolie’s nonchalant choice of accessories, which encompassed large black sunglasses, gold-framed diamond drop earrings and a large monogrammed canvas Celine tote bag.

Pumps like Jolie’s are a classic wardrobe staple, favored for their sharp silhouette. The style’s sleek triangular toes and thin heels have made it a top shoe style over the years, providing a dynamic height boost while retaining the ability to be dressed up or down. Similarly to Jolie, pairs in neutral hues of black, brown and beige are the most popular and released year-round — as seen in newly dropped styles from brands including Schutz, Jimmy Choo, 7or9 and Stuart Weitzman.

Jolie’s shoe wardrobe is versatile and sleek, frequently featuring black, nude, gray and brown tones. The actress’ red carpet looks often incorporate pointed-toe pumps or open-toed sandals by Christian Louboutin and Salvatore Ferragamo. When off-duty, the Oscar-winning star can be seen in Everlane loafers, Chanel flats and Nike sneakers.
