Bow pumps have been everywhere this season, and Daisy Ridley just added her own version to the lineup, wearing Aquazzura’s Very Bow Tie suede pumps while on her way to “Live With Kelly and Mark” in New York City on Monday.
The pumps came in black suede with a sharply pointed toe and high stiletto heel. The vamp dipped low at the front while the back counter stayed closed and structured. Along the outer side, the upper cut away through the arch to form an open section, where a knotted bow joined the front of the shoe to the heel on the upper side of the foot.

Ridley wore the pumps with what appeared to be a gray, ankle-length dress and a long black coat to ward off the city cold. She kept the look’s palette neutral, save for a pop of color with her pink pout.

Ridley’s Aquazzura pumps added another option to that mix, moving the bow to the side and using the cutout to frame it.
