Pointed toe pumps were all the rave at the Louis Vuitton fall 2026 fashion show, and Zendaya joined in on the fun. The actress ditched her usual Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps, opting for a sleek pair of sky-high leather pumps for the show.
Zendaya’s pair for the show were made with a steeply sloped toe that led to a towering and slim stiletto heel measuring nearly five inches. The shoe featured clean, structured lines throughout with a low-cut vamp that revealed the entirety of the top of the foot.

The heels were designed with a sharply pointed toe with a small toe box and featured a small silver detail on the back of the heel. The shoes appeared to have a similar design to the metallic silver pumps that the “Challengers” star wore to the Louis Vuitton spring 2026 show in September.
Being that she is a prominent ambassador for Louis Vuitton, with their partnership starting in April 2023, it makes sense that the fashion house is creating a custom high heel shoe for her to wear while she is representing the brand. Louis Vuitton currently offers a similar style on their website, which is the Gala pump, in satin with a shorter heel measuring around four inches.
The Gala pumps retail for $1,170 and also feature sleek lines, a pointed toe and high stiletto heel. It is finished with a leather outsole, which is discreetly signed with an LV Initials accessory in gold-toned metal.
For the fashion show, Zendaya — who wore a dainty gold wedding band on her ring finger after her stylist recently revealed that she had married Tom Holland — paired her leather pumps with white shirtdress with a balloon skirt cut in a high-low silhouette. The low-cut on the black shoes flattered and elongated her legs and were complemented by a thick black belt she wore on her waist.
Zendaya’s longtime stylist Law Roach has spoken at length about training the actress to walk gracefully in tall stiletto heels on red carpets, starting with the So Kates since she was a teenager. The “Euphoria” star wore the Louboutin pumps so often that they became a staple in her wardrobe, and led to rumors that she was the inspiration for a modern take on the heel that the French footwear designer released in 2025 — the Miss Z.
