Tiffany Haddish gave the deep-V pump trend a metallic edge on Sunday night at “The Roast of Kevin Hart” red carpet, held during Netflix Is a Joke Fest at the Kia Forum in Los Angeles.
The actress arrived in metallic gunmetal silver stilettos with a low, deep-cut vamp and pointed toe. Her wide-leg pants covered much of the shoe, but the front and side views were enough to place the pair within the deep-V pump shape that has been showing up on red carpets this spring.
Haddish’s pumps came to a sharp point at the toe, then opened into a deep V through the vamp, exposing the top of the foot rather than covering it like a classic pump. The finish read as dark metallic silver — closer to gunmetal than chrome — and a curved seam line was visible from the toe box back toward the side quarter. Her wide-leg pants covered much of the shoe, but the side views showed the slim stiletto heel and steep pitch.

She kept the rest of the look almost entirely cream-hued, wearing Helmut Lang’s Articulated Shirt with matching high-waisted pants. The cropped shirt was buttoned to the collar, with short structured sleeves, fine vertical striping and the lower buttons left open above the waistband, with the trousers falling wide over the pumps. Haddish completed the look with silver jewelry and Strathberry’s cream Crescent Moon bag.
The shoe choice placed Haddish near one of the more precise pump shifts of the season. Instead of the barely-there sandal or the classic closed pump, the deep-V shape of the topline exposes the instep while keeping a pointed, dressed-up front. Lori Harvey leaned into the look in March at Balenciaga’s fall 2026 show, wearing the house’s Duchesse pumps with a deep V-cut vamp, asymmetric pointed toe and slim 90 mm stiletto.
Emily Blunt moved the same idea into mule territory in April at a “The Devil Wears Prada 2” screening, wearing Ferragamo’s black patent S-shaped mule with a high-cut vamp and deep V outline. Earlier this month, Selena Gomez chose Christian Louboutin’s Erozee 100mm pumps for the “Marty, Life Is Short” premiere, another pointed style shaped around a deep V vamp.
Haddish’s version pushed the trend into a cooler metallic register, with the gunmetal finish cutting through the softness of the white Helmut Lang separates.
