If we had to pick between Miley Cyrus and Selena Gomez, our vote would go to Selena any day of the week.

Sure, she’s a little bit goody-goody and perhaps a little boring, but she has grown up to be quite a classy young woman — and that’s the kind of gal we go for.

Since graduating from Wizards of Waverly Place, Selena has been killing it on the red carpet. Her fashion sense is both sexy and tasteful. Her style constantly evolves, but unlike her predecessor (Miley, that’s you!), it seems to improve with time.

The other day, we spotted the actress-slash-singer arrive at the Ed Sullivan Theater for an appearance on ‘The Late Show with David Letterman.’

And as expected, Selena looked stunning in her outfit. She wore a more mature look using black separates from Versus Versace J.W. Anderson Collection Resort 2014 styled with Melinda Maria jewelry.

Yes, black sounds uninteresting, but the get-up was far from that. She sported a long-sleeved cropped top that showcased her midriff and a high-waist knee-length skirt with side slits that went all the way up to her thighs.

The attire was effortless but also seriously alluring. And despite the amount of skin she exposed, she looked elegant.

If you were to rate Selena’s latest look, what score would you give?

We think she’s a perfect ten here. We especially like how she finished the outfit with a neat updo and some classy gold-detailed pointy cap-toe pumps — well-appointed add-ons that polished and pulled everything together.

Now, about Selena’s shoes. We initially thought they were from Saint Laurent — the cap-toe ‘Paris’ heels. The ‘Paris’ pumps come in several renditions and heel heights (3.25 to 4.25 inches).

They’re available in patent, classic, or nappa leather styles wrapped in studs or suede. Below are the cap toe variants that made us think Selena’s shoes were from the label.

Here’s the thing, though. Selena’s pointy pumps are NOT from Saint Laurent. They’re actually from Giuseppe Zanotti.

These heels feature similar characteristics with gold metal accents, lowered vamps for a more flattering fit, and pointy toes.

They also come in 3-inch and 4-inch tall variations. But unlike the former, these shoes have cone-shaped heels instead of sleek and straight ones.

Like? Which designer pumps look better? If you can afford both, which will you purchase, Saint Laurent ‘Paris’ cap toe pumps or the beauties from Giuseppe Zanotti?
