Nicole Scherzinger joined the celebration of the semifinal of ‘The X Factor’ at the C Restaurant in London on December 8.
She ditched the sparkling sexy gown worn during the show for a more demure and edgier outfit that included a black jumpsuit with lace detail. The 35-year-old singer also kept her accessories simple yet classy. She layered her gold necklaces and wore a gold bangle and some rings.

As for her shoes, Nicole wore a pair of black d’Orsay pumps with almond toes in patent leather. Although they seem very classic, the pumps are not like any ordinary black pumps. The heel counters are actually very different, not to mention very modern. These pumps are called the “Armor” for the reason that they have armor-like heels. They feature a cage design in gold, which is something that we don’t usually see on other pumps. The architectural design of these pumps is what makes them unique.
Nicole should have worn a miniskirt or a pair of cropped trousers to give the shoes some justice. But at least the lace of her pants gave us enough view of her pumps’ heel design.

The pumps are from Sergio Rossi’s Fall 2013 collection. However, we couldn’t find them online. What we found at The Outnet, though, are similar pairs that have the same cage design on the soles.
