Zendaya has finally worn Christian Louboutin’s Miss Z style.
The actress headed to “Jimmy Kimmel Live!’ in Los Angeles on Monday, sporting a buzzy pump style that she’s been associated with long before her first public outing in them.
The relatively new Miss Z pump, which launched at the top of 2025, sparked speculation that it was inspired by Zendaya, given its moniker and the actress’ longtime devotion to Christian Louboutin shoes. The brand shut down rumors, however, revealing the more comfortable pump creation was inspired by Gen Z.

The speculation may well return now that “The Drama” actress has been photographed in Miss Z for the first time. While she wore an Alexander McQueen dress with blue pumps for her interview on “Kimmel,” she arrived at the studio in a fall 2026 Moschino look with white Miss Z pumps. The style has a recognizable profile, distinguishing it from what Zendaya usually wears. The Miss Z features a slightly elongated toe, expanded toe box, an “everlasting red sole” and a heel designed to give the illusion that it’s taller than it truly is.

For the taping of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!”, Zendaya swapped the Miss Z for a pair of pointed pumps in a soft blue hue.
