Stark white shoes were in focus on the spring ’24 runways, so it’s no surprise we’re now seeing the trend start to take hold. Who better than Zendaya to bring it to the forefront?

On Saturday, the star stepped out in classic white pumps — one of her go-to styles — at two of three events in Paris to promote “Challengers,” her new tennis film.

For the first photo opp, she posed in a vibrant lime-green checkered minidress from Louis Vuitton’s spring ’13 collection, designed by then creative director Marc Jacobs. She paired the mod look, styled by Law Roach, with white Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps.

Another pair of white pumps (perhaps the same look from earlier in the day) peeked out just a little from the actress’ flowing white custom Louis Vuitton bustier gown that she changed into hours later for the official premiere.

On Friday, Roach posted a video on Instagram that proved just how loyal Zendaya and her longtime stylist are to the Parisian footwear designer. The caption said it all: “Just look at this PULL…thank you always to the team @louboutinworld. ‘So Zate,’ the stylist wrote in a clever take on the So Kate style name.

The star’s affinity for white Louboutin pumps goes back several years — for instance, she wore the look at the 2021 premiere of “Space Jam: A New Legacy,” when she channeled her character on the red carpet.

Back in 2019, during an appearance on the “Late Show,” she wore the style again with an orange minidress during a chat with host Stephen Colbert.
