Sarah Jessica Parker, queen of whimsical shoes, celebrated comedy while in attendance at “SNL50: The Anniversary Special” held on Feb. 16 in New York. Parker attended alongside her husband Matthew Broderick, who has hosted “Saturday Night Live” in the past, and she wore the most perfect pair of black pumps.
Departing from her usual colorful and campy footwear choices, the “Sex and the City” star sported a classic pair of Dolce & Gabbana’s Bellucci pumps for the occasion. The simplistic choice included glossy black patent leather uppers that transitioned into slightly rounded yet pointed toes and leather soles.
Two to 3-inch stiletto heels rounded out the set, offering Parker a subtle boost in height. Almost invisible to the eye, the shoe featured a tiny gold D&G emblem at the bottom of the heel. The thespian’s neutral heels were a fitting choice partnered with her subdued yet sparkling ensemble, which she covered with a black coat.
Watch on FN
Most, if not all, footwear brands feature a black pump of some kind in their arsenal. For styles like Parker’s, Alaia, Inez, Gianvito Rossi, Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin and Jimmy Choo have got you covered. From dinners to red carpet events, black pumps are perfect for just about every occasion. Given their versatility, the silhouette pairs well with everything from denim to formal dresses.
While it is a rarity to spot Parker wearing traditional black pumps, the shoe lover managed to cut through the noise of black pumps and point fans in the direction of a pair that is timeless, elegant, and still a bit playful. The Dolce & Gabbana’s Bellucci pumps are currently available for sale on websites like Lyst.
Not one to surpass a little shine, Parker also opted for a silver chainmail-inspired dress. The garment featured a mock neckline and a woven construction. Worn overtop, the “Hocus Pocus” actress cozied up in a simple black wool coat. Parker accessorized her look with gold jewelry.
