Zoe Saldana Rules the Red Carpet in Black Suede Pumps at ‘Emilia Perez’ Screening in London

Zoe Saldana graced the red carpet at the Headline Gala screening of “Emilia Perez” during the 68th BFI London Film Festival held today in London. Fellow “Emilia Perez” actress Selena Gomez was also in attendance.

In a classic but sophisticated move, the “Avatar” star donned black pumps. The style seemingly featured textural suede uppers, along with sharp pointed toes and 2 to 3-inch stiletto heels that offered both height and dimension.

The inclusion of suede uppers made for a unique addition, one that separated the style from its more classic renditions. Black pumps have always had a place in celebrities’ wardrobes. The silhouette boasts longevity, worn and re-worn since its conception.

Stars like Kamala Harris, Jennifer Aniston, Ashley Graham, Serena Williams and Pamela Anderson have all worn black pumps in the past, sporting them on formal and casual occasions. Saldana’s pick can be likened to pumps from top brands like Gianvito Rossi, Jimmy Choo, Saint Laurent, Christian Louboutin and Aquazzura, among others.
