Jill Biden brought her go-to heels to the stage during the Human Rights Campaign‘s 2023 National Dinner.

While attending the event alongside her husband, President Joe Biden, Jill arrived onstage at the Washington Convention Center in Washington, DC for the occasion, wearing a sharp pair of pumps. The first lady’s style featured a smooth, light tan texture across its triangular toes, which ended in thin stiletto heels totaling at least 4 inches in height.

Biden’s pumps leaned into her penchant for the pointed-toe silhouette, which she frequently wears from international occasions to charity and educational events. The style is traditionally favored for its sharp silhouette and sleek stiletto heels, which can dress up both casual and formal outfits. Pairs are released by an array of brands in numerous colors, textures and heights year-round, as seen in new styles from labels including Gianvito Rossi, Sarah Flint and Schutz, among others.

The sharp footwear added a versatile base for the first lady’s attire for the occasion, which featured a long-sleeved white dress with a sparkling gold-paneled neckline covered in embroidery and gleaming crystals. The statement piece was accented by Biden with dangling diamond and pearl drop earrings, as well as a delicate gold pendant necklace. Layered bracelets — including a strand of pearls and Biden’s go-to gold bangle — smoothly completed her look with a metallic shine.

When it comes to footwear, Biden’s choices are classic and chic. The first lady frequently favors pointed-toe pumps in nude and black tones from brands including Dior, Valentino and Stuart Weitzman. Color-coordinated heels are also a go-to for her brighter ensembles, hailing from Manolo Blahnik and Jimmy Choo. In warmer months, she can also be seen in Loeffler Randall espadrille wedges and On Running sneakers.
