Reed’s look stood confidently on its own, with softly waved hair and pared-back makeup letting the outfit—and the footwear—do the talking.

Adding a flash of texture to her black ensemble, shimmering Saint Laurent ankle booties delivered a sharp, modern finish that elevated the entire look.

Love the sleek, pointed-toe energy of Saint Laurent’s “Paris” ankle boots? You’re in good company: Hayden Panettiere turned the silhouette into a statement in bold red Saint Laurent “Paris” pointed-toe ankle boots, while Victoria Beckham styled Saint Laurent “Paris” laced ankle boots with sharp black separates for a polished off-duty uniform.

For a darker, more western-leaning take on the same “Paris” DNA, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley wore Saint Laurent Paris fringe-studded boots, proving the pointed toe and slim heel can swing from minimalist to rodeo-chic. And if you want a related Saint Laurent boot staple with the same rock-ready attitude, Kourtney Kardashian’s Saint Laurent “Wyatt” ankle boots are another enduring favorite worth bookmarking.

Crafted in metallic snakeskin-stamped leather, Nikki Reed’s booties balance polish and edge with elastic side panels, pointed toes, and a subtle hidden platform.

A structured square heel, measuring approximately 4.25 inches, adds height without sacrificing wearability—making them a versatile statement piece across seasons.
