Ciara arrived at Pandora’s Talisman Collection launch in New York on Monday wearing one of Jimmy Choo’s most enduring and sought-after silhouettes: the Anouk pump.
The pair came in black patent leather with a razor-pointed toe and nearly five-inch stiletto heel. Leather-lined soles and a high arch gave the pumps their signature proportions, a silhouette that has remained one of the brand’s most recognizable designs, despite its quiet disappearance from direct-to-consumer and department store retailers around 2020.

Originally introduced in the early 2010s, the Anouk was quickly embraced as one of Jimmy Choo’s most daring styles, celebrated for its engineering that allowed the shoe’s slim heel to maintain both stability and proportion.

The elusive Anouk has recently resurfaced on red carpets. Just one day prior, Livvy Dunne wore the same silhouette to the MTV VMAs, also in glossy black patent leather. The style has been a frequent choice for celebrities over the past decade, with names like Gigi Hadid, Kendall Jenner and Nicole Kidman having previously worn the shoe on carpets and press tours.
Jimmy Choo has leaned on pointed-toe pumps as a house signature, maintaining continuity with styles like the Love 100, Romy 100 and Ixia 95. That consistency underpins its latest brand push, which included naming Sydney Sweeney the face of its fall 2025 campaign earlier this month.
For Ciara, the Anouk adds to a string of shoe statements this summer. At the MTV VMAs, she stepped out in Gianvito Rossi Plexi slingbacks, part of the clear-shoe trend dominating carpets this year. Weeks earlier, she switched to heavy combat boots for a “Today” performance, showcasing a range that moves between streetwear, performance and classic polish.
Her Pandora look balanced the heels with a structured strapless black minidress and layered diamond jewelry. The appearance supported the debut of Pandora’s Talisman line, a collection of recycled silver and gold pieces inspired by ancient coins and Latin inscriptions, with a campaign fronted by fellow singer Tyla. The jewelry line marks a new era for the Danish brand, blending symbols of resilience and guidance into contemporary design while continuing its commitment to recycled materials.
