Kerry Washington turned heads while on the blue floral carpet for the 2025 Met Gala held yesterday in New York. This year’s theme was “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style.”
The “Django Unchained” star popped on a pair of sleek and sophisticated ivory pumps. The chosen style featured satin ivory uppers with a slightly shiny finish, accompanied by structural pointed toes. The geometric toes gave way to slight platform soles that offered Washington’s look a subtle lift. 4 to 5-inch stiletto heels rounded out the sharp set, creating length and drama.
For those looking to channel Washington’s elegant Met Gala moment, comparable styles can be purchased via top brands like Dolce & Gabbana, Jessica Simpson, Steve Madden, Jimmy Choo, Christian Louboutin and Dolce Vita, among others. The most similar style to Washington’s own is Le Silla’s Uma silhouette, although the finishes differ.

The “Shadow Force” actress went for a monochrome ivory ensemble to match her footwear, hailing from Simkhai. The custom look featured a cream colored blazer with a plunging neckline, accompanied by a maxi-length skirt made of sheer iridescent ivory fabric. Washington also wore dainty mesh gloves and a wide-brimmed hat.
