Nicole Scherzinger wore sleek black stilettos to the 2024 Olivier Awards at Royal Albert Hall in London on Sunday.
When Scherzinger hit the red carpet at the WhatsOnStage Awards in February, she showcased another pair of black pumps, a soaring style featuring a buckle ankle strap fastening. She also went with pointed black stilettos at the National Lottery’s Big Night of Musicals in January. Off the red carpet, the singer has been known to wear chunky Gucci combat boots, chic Valentino wedge sandals and Fila platform sneakers. She’s also been seen out and about in ultra-casual tie-dye Crocs, Nike’s Air Zoom Pegasus and Steve Madden thigh-highs.
“Ted Lasso” star Hannah Waddingham hosted the 2024 Olivier Awards (known as England’s Tonys), where Scherzinger picked up the Best Actress in a Musical Award for her role in “Sunset Boulevard.” The Hollywood noir musical revolving around former silent film star Norma Desmond was the night’s big winner, taking home seven trophies, including Best Musical Revival.
About the shoes
Scherzinger donned timeless pointy black pumps featuring a glossy patent leather finish and a sharp stiletto heel measuring approximately 4 inches. The style is not unlike other pairs the former girl group member has worn before. In the past, when completing a look with classic black pumps, she’s stepped out Christian Louboutin’s So Kate pumps, Jimmy Choo’s Anouk and Le Silla’s Eva.
A Brief History of stiletto pumps
Tall, slender stiletto heels hit the fashion scene in 1950 and have remained a popular style since. While block heels became more prominent in the 1960s and 1970s, designers like Christian Louboutin reintroduced skinny, sky-high styles on the market, and they were a staple in the early aughts. Brands like Gianvito Rossi, Giuseppe Zanotti, Saint Laurent and Aquazzura all offer sleek stilettos in a variety of finishes.
