Sarah Paulson Adds a Sleek Counterpoint to Fuzzy Volume With Bottega Veneta’s Sofia Pumps

The glossy black Sofia pump offset the look’s fuzzy volumes at the "All’s Fair" premiere.

Sarah Paulson brought a sharp contrast to Bottega Veneta’s runway textures on Thursday night. The actress arrived at the world premiere of Hulu’s “All’s Fair” in Los Angeles wearing the house’s Sofia pumps with a fuzzy skirt ensemble from the spring 2026 collection.

The Sofia pump is made from glossy black calfskin with a pointed toe and elasticated top line, complete with a slim heel. The textured pump currently retails at $1,150 on Bottega Veneta’s site.

Paulson paired the pumps with look 69 from the spring 2026 runway, a tactile skirt layered in long, fuzzy strands. She paired the feather-like skirt with a structured ivory top with broad padded shoulders, wide elbow sleeves and a boxy silhouette. The glossy pump set a sharp contrast against the skirt’s and shirt’s voluminous silhouettes.

While the focus of Bottega Veneta’s spring 2026 show centered on Intrecciato weaving, Paulson’s fuzzy skirt and Sofia pumps reflected the collection’s mix of textured surfaces and streamlined shapes. “The most beautiful thing about Bottega Veneta is that it’s really a workshop,” Trotter told WWD’s Miles Socha ahead of the September show. “Craft has been the way we innovate.…Artisans and creatives working together to find solutions.”

This marks Paulson’s second polished pump appearance of the week. On Monday, she joined Naomi Watts and Niecy Nash on Hollywood Boulevard for Watts’ Walk of Fame ceremony, opting for a white Jude Fame pump with a curved dagger heel. The back-to-back pointed toes reflect a clear preference for structured, stiletto silhouettes this week.

Paulson stars in “All’s Fair” alongside Naomi Watts, Glenn Close, Teyana Taylor and Kim Kardashian. The Ryan Murphy–created series follows the owner of an all-female law firm in Los Angeles and will begin streaming Nov. 4 on Hulu.
