Awards season is in full swing and Christian Louboutin remains an undeniable footwear choice for celebrities taking to the red carpet.
The French brand is known for its stiletto footwear, which incorporates the signature shiny, red-lacquered soles. The designer established his shoe salon in Paris, where his shoes found favor with celebrity clientele. From the Oscars to the Golden Globes to the Grammys, Louboutin reigns supreme as a red carpet regular.
Ahead, find some celebrities who selected Christian Louboutin as their footwear choice at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards red carpet.
The “Abbott Elementary” creator laced up in a Georges Hobeika gown enhanced with floral applique. In the footwear department, Brunson opted for the Movida Jane Sandal Black Calf Leather Platform Sandal. This is the new and enchanting take on the Movida Jane pump. The architectural platform sandal has a soaring 6-inch heel adding flair and height. Crafted in black patent calf leather, the shoe is fastened with a strap that elegantly wraps around the ankle. This marks her second time slipping on Louboutins this month as she donned a pair of Christian Louboutin black satin 513 sandals to the W party recently.
Ava Phillippe
Ava Phillippe kicked back in the classic So Kate Black Satin Pump for a night out with her mom, Reese Witherspoon. The contemporary style is an elevated version of Louboutin’s Pigalle silhouette. This pair is made from black Veau Velours, also known as a soft finished calfskin, and features a deep-cut upper that draws out its décolleté lines. The So Kate style is infamously known for spotlighting the foot and raising it on a 5-inch heel. She coupled the pumps with a black and pearl-embellished Monique Lhuillier minidress with a Celine bag.
Colman Domingo
Domingo brought color to the red carpet from head to toe. Up top, he dressed in a Valentino Haute Couture ensemble that featured a mustard yellow suit that he wore on top of a light blue button-down. For a little flair, he draped a gold textured coat over his shoulders. His footwear: the William Gold Calf Leather Boot. The golden hue of the boots coordinated with the suit seamlessly. Crafted in Italy, the polished finish and ankle-height silhouette is set on a stacked 2.75-inch heel.
Barry Keoghan
Barry Keoghan suited up in Zegna in black that he coupled with a white blouse and silk scarf underneath. On his feet, the “Saltburn” actor selected the Capitano Orlato Black Patent Leather Dress Shoe. What sets this selection apart is its sleek lines. The oxford shoe is made of smooth black calf leather and features a square toe for a modern, sophisticated look. When it comes to the delicate topstitching and slim tone-on-tone laces, the details created the perfect footwear for the occasion.
