Ariana Grande attended the AFI Awards held on Thursday in Los Angeles. The musician attended alongside her “Wicked” co-star Cynthia Erivo.
The “7 Rings” songstress popped into a pair of rich deep brown pumps. The chosen pair included glossy chocolate brown leather uppers accompanied by rounded toes and what appeared to be equally unique sculptural heels. The style closely resembles Loewe‘s Toy silhouette.
Given her outfit is also from Loewe, it wouldn’t be a stretch to assume her shoes are from the same brand. The Toy style comes in a slew of neutral hues and varying heel heights. No matter the composition, the shoe retails for $1,100.
Neutral footwear is a must-have for many. A good simple pump can act as a supporting actor of sorts, allowing the ensemble to take the spotlight. During Grande’s lengthy “Wicked” press tour, she’s often been spotted in neutral-toned footwear from brands like Stuart Weitzman, Schiaparelli and Jimmy Choo, among others.

The “Don’t Look Up” star partnered her sculptural pumps with a silky custom gown from Loewe. The dress was sleeveless and boxy, crafted of a champagne-colored silk fabric. On the accessories front, Grande toted a white Loewe Flamenco clutch.
When it comes to shoes, Grande often opts for platform sandals and pumps by Versace, Givenchy and GCDS. Stiletto pumps from Jimmy Choo and Giuseppe Zanotti are also common in her red carpet rotation. When off-duty, the “Positions” singer can be seen in Laurence Decade and Sergio Rossi ankle boots, as well as Prada and Ugg slippers.
Grande is currently nominated for “Best Supporting Actress” for her role in “Wicked.” The cast of the hit film also includes Michelle Yeoh, Jonathan Bailey, Bowen Yang and Jeff Goldblum. The adaptation acts as a prequel to “The Wizard of Oz,” and recounts everything that happened before Dorothy made her way down the yellow brick road.
