Tika Sumpter Is Golden in Metallic Giuseppe Zanotti Mules at the 2025 American Black Film Festival Honors
Tika Sumpter opted for opulent glamour in a pair of trendy golden Giuseppe Zanotti stiletto mules and a goddess-worthy halter dress at the 2025 American Black Film Festival Honors in Los Angeles on Monday.
The Italian-made Intriigo sandals feature a sharp pointed-toe, shiny metallic fabric, a tapered vamp, and a 3.5-inch stiletto heel. The open-toe mule sandals retail for $795 and are available in black, silver and white. For those who are’t fans of the mules style, the shoe is also available in Intriigo Strap, with a dainty strap around the ankle.

The golden shoes brought out the gold metal detailing on Sumpter’s black Grecian-style Rhea Costa gown, along with the gold bangles, rings and drop earrings from Misho. Her glamorous look was styled by Wayman Bannerman and Micah McDonald, who also work with Colman Domingo, Mary J. Blige and Ari Graynor, and were recently named one of the “25 Most Powerful Stylists” by “The Hollywood Reporter.”
Metallic shoes, especially in gold and silver tones, started to take over fashion in 2022. The style has continued to gain a consistent spot in designers’ collections since then. Several high-end labels like Bottega Veneta, Prada and Manolo Blahnik have included the shiny material in their runway shoes over the past couple months.
Popular metallic heeled styles include the $1,150 Valentino Garavani metallic leather stiletto pumps and the Jimmy Choo Ixia pumps, priced at $683.
The “Sonic the Hedgehog 3” actor’s style is glamourous and trendy. When it comes to her footwear, she loves a stylish pair of designer heels, particularly classic pumps and strappy sandals, often in a trendy shape or color. Whether she’s gracing the red carpet or attending a casual event, Sumpter knows how to elevate her look with the perfect pair of coordinating heels.
The 7th Annual American Black Film Festival Honors were held at the SLS Hotel on Feb. 17 in the ritzy Beverly Hills neighborhood of Los Angeles. Keke Palmer, Yvonne Orji, Lance Gross, LisaRaye McCoy, Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor and more also attended the glamorous event.
