On September 14, 2014, Rita Ora arrived at The Royal British Institute in London for the Stella McCartney Green Carpet Collection, providing a masterclass in how to style architectural footwear with minimalist evening wear.

The singer chose a plunging black Stella McCartney jumpsuit to anchor her look, but the standout detail was her choice of footwear: the Christian Louboutin “Gortik” ankle boots.
These boots, known for their distinctive strap detailing and high-shine patent finish, remain one of Louboutin’s most recognizable silhouettes.
Want proof that the Christian Louboutin “Gortik” booties were a true celebrity-favorite statement shoe? Your Next Shoes spotlighted multiple standout ways to style the strappy, pointed-toe ankle boot: Jennifer Lopez wore the python “Gortik” booties with a bodycon snakeskin mini dress while filming Fat Joe’s “Stressin’” music video in New York, leaning into a head-to-toe exotic texture moment.
She also took a sharper, TV-ready approach by pairing black strappy Gortik booties with Zero + Maria Cornejo “Eka” trousers and a Pucci top for her Meredith Vieira Show “Car-aoke” segment.
On the red carpet, Alice Eve styled the same Christian Louboutin Gortik booties with a Valentino fit-and-flare dress featuring a white lace bib at the Toronto International Film Festival premiere of Before We Go—a polished, ladylike contrast that lets the booties’ cage-like straps do all the talking.

The plunging jumpsuit served as a sleek backdrop for the Christian Louboutin “Gortik” booties, underscoring how a single statement shoe can transform a monochromatic look.
Crafted from a striking mix of high-shine patent leather, light-catching glitter, and supple suede trim, the sculptural ankle boot adds texture, depth, and unmistakable edge.
From every angle, the “Gortik” booties offer a striking profile, blending the edge of a caged sandal with the sophistication of a pointed-toe bootie
