Washington’s chic, modern pair featured a slim ankle strip, a square topline and an elongated pointed-toe. Waterhouse looked incredibly cool in a black belted micro-romper, blazer and sunglasses paired with ultra-pointy pumps featuring a tapered heel, similar to By Far’s 90 mm Viva pumps.

Pumps are a classic women’s shoe style that have remained a red carpet favorite for their versatility and elegance. Pointed-toe pumps with a slim stiletto are a popular variation of the shoe, and have increased in popularity in recent years, thanks to pointy toes coming back into trend after their heyday in the ’80s and ’90s. You can find pointed-toe pumps from prestigious designers including Manolo Blahnik, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Gianvito Rossi and Balenciaga.
Christian Louboutin’s So Kate pump, offered in a variety of colors, heights and materials, are a red carpet staple that exemplifies the classic nature of the silhouette. Zendaya wore a bright white pair of the beloved shoe during many stops of the buzzy “Challengers” press tour. The So Kate have also graced the feet of Cardi B, Sophie Turner, Selena Gomez, Jennifer Lopez, among countless other stars.
The Michael Kors fall ready-to-wear 2025 show took place at the Terminal Warehouse in New York. The collection breathed new life into the designer’s classic shapes and neutral tones, with long jackets and other modern takes on suiting alongside flowing dresses and capes with a touch of fur and leather.
