Idris Elba and his wife Sabrina Elba attended the Louis Vuitton Menswear fall-winter 2025/2026 show in sleek black shoes as part of Paris Fashion Week on Tuesday afternoon.
Touching down in Paris, Sabrina was spotted in the Black Leather Urban Twist Metal Cap Toe pumps from the brand, which are crafted with leather material, and characterized by their silver-toned hardware in the upper. The silver hardware accentuates the angular design, and the silhouette is rounded out by a closed-back design and a slender stiletto heel measuring 4.3 inches in height.
For her outfit choice, Elba wore a black leather minidress that was also likely from Louis Vuitton, pairing her ensemble with a miniature crossbody tote bag. As for Idris, he matched his wife's monochromatic Louis Vuitton black look with one of his own, choosing an oversized black leather jacket paired overtop a black sweater.
Black trousers were his pants of choice, teaming them with a pair of black and white sneakers that were more than likely the Charlie Sneakers from the brand as well. The shoes were characterized by their contrasting white outline and hardtop black leather composition in the upper.
Various designers including Chanel and Valentino offer pointed-toe models regularly as a part of their catalog, with the silhouette being a preferred footwear choice for many notable celebrities and high-profile individuals. The popularity of the slim and chunky stiletto heels with an angular toe-box began re-emerging in the early 2020s, reaching the peak of their popularity in 2024.
The beginning of 2025 has seen the style carrying on that popularity into the new year, with stylists recommending pointed shoes to achieve simple and classic looks for the remainder of winter, and into the spring and summer seasons. Elba, herself, has also worn pointed-toe pumps on a number of occasions.
For the 2024 CFDA Fashion Awards held in New York City this past October, the entrepreneur was photographed on the red carpet wearing white slingback pumps that featured three short buckled straps on the sides, a narrow, pointy triangular shape in the upper and a tall silver stiletto heel measuring between 3-to-4 inches in the back.
