Anne Hathaway’s Rose-Gold Louboutins & FKA Twigs’ Marc Jacobs Kiki Platforms Rule the Mother Mary Red Carpet

Anne Hathaway stood out in an ethereal white Lever Couture gown paired with rose gold Christian Louboutin pumps at the New York premiere of Mother Mary. I liked how soft and elevated her look was, especially against the darker tones on the carpet.

Another standout was FKA Twigs, who also stars in the film, wearing a whimsical Ashi Studio dress paired with black Marc Jacobs pumps, which added a slightly edgy contrast.

Then there was Iris van Herpen, showing her support for the cast in her own design, stepping out in an archival sheer dress matched with platform boots that gave her look a cool, signature finish.

There’s already a lot of buzz around The Devil Wears Prada sequel set to release on May 1, but before that, Anne Hathaway is taking on a completely different role in Mother Mary.

She stars as an iconic pop star navigating a complex comeback, with the story following her character’s affair with her estranged best friend and costume designer Sam Anselm, played by Michaela Coel, as they reconnect while she prepares for her return to the spotlight.

Anne Hathaway Glows in Lever Couture and Rose Gold Christian Louboutin “Miss Z” Pumps

Anne Hathaway stepped out looking every bit like a pop star in a voluminous, translucent dress custom-made by Lever Couture, pairing it with equally eye-catching Christian Louboutin pumps.

Anne Hathaway wore the Christian Louboutin “Miss Z” pumps in metallic vintage rose-gold leather, a luminous finish that mirrored the fluid sheen of her Lever Couture gown. The sharply pointed toe and pin-thin stiletto instantly lengthened her frame, while the subtly curved topline softened the silhouette—delivering that signature Louboutin balance of precision and allure.

Unlike the brand’s earlier icons, the Miss Z is part of a new-generation pump line—a modern evolution of the house’s classic styles, designed with both durability and wearability in mind. It features Louboutin’s updated “Everlasting” red sole, a more resilient finish that holds its high-gloss color far longer than the traditional lacquered base seen on earlier designs.

The silhouette itself is subtly re-engineered, with a more elongated toe box and a slightly more ergonomic arch, giving it a sleeker, more wearable feel compared to legacy styles like the Kate or Pigalle. Think of it as the next chapter in Louboutin’s pump legacy—still razor-sharp, but with a refined, modern edge.

We’re already seeing Miss Z quietly gain traction among a new wave of celebrity adopters. Storm Reid, for instance, styled a nude pair with polished separates, using the clean lines to streamline her look—while Hathaway’s metallic version leans fully into high-glamour territory.

The Christian Louboutin “Miss Z” pumps retail for $1,095 at Mytheresa and Nordstrom—and if early appearances are any indication, they’re poised to become the brand’s next red carpet staple.

Hathaway paired the pumps with a custom Lever Couture gown that reflected the brand’s sculptural, expressive style. Made from semi-sheer white fabric, the dress had a light, airy feel, with textured layers flowing around her body, seemingly inspired by fluid, water-like movement. But honestly, from a distance, it kind of looked translucent like plastic.

The bodice featured structured layering, while the skirt extended into ruffled waves that skimmed the floor and trailed into a train. A thigh-high slit added a bold touch, showing off her flawless legs.

Anne Hathaway completed her look with Bulgari Serpenti earrings and rings, plus a rose-gold Alexis Bittar clutch, on sale for $486.50 (down from $695) at Saks Fifth Avenue. Her long brunette hair and soft pink makeup kept everything polished and cohesive.

FKA Twigs Goes Full Avant-Garde in Marc Jacobs “Kiki” Platforms and Ashi Studio Couture

FKA Twigs embraced her signature punk aesthetic, stepping out in an Ashi Studio look paired with bold Marc Jacobs platform pumps that she also paired with a Giuseppe di Morabito lace corset top and miniskirt while promoting The Crow.

She wore the Marc Jacobs “Kiki” pumps in smooth black leather, a cult silhouette defined by its five-strap upper and signature buckle detailing that instantly adds a tough, subversive edge. But what truly sets the Kiki apart is its exaggerated proportion: a towering 3.5-inch platform paired with a dramatic 6.5-inch block heel, transforming a classic Mary Jane into something far more architectural—and intentionally disruptive.

Originally introduced on the runway and later embraced by the brand’s Heaven line, the Kiki has evolved into a defining “ugly-cool” statement shoe, favored by celebrities for its ability to push an outfit into more experimental territory. We’ve seen Florence Pugh lean into its punk-glam energy, while Drew Barrymore used it to contrast soft, romantic dressing—a balance Twigs amplifies here by pairing the heavy, almost industrial base with sheer, corseted delicacy.

Unlike the refined precision of Louboutin’s Miss Z pumps, the Kiki thrives on tension: its rounded, doll-like toe and stacked platform deliberately distort proportion, making the leg appear more elongated and fragile by contrast. It’s less about elegance and more about attitude—a theatrical, slightly rebellious take on height and silhouette that feels rooted in the ongoing revival of indie sleaze and gothic romanticism.

A patent-leather version of the Marc Jacobs “Kiki” pumps is available for $550 at Farfetch—though as Twigs proves, their real value lies in how unapologetically they transform a look.

FKA Twigs paired her statement shoes with an Ashi Studio Spring 2026 Couture look. Inspired by 18th- and 19th-century silhouettes, the ensemble featured a corseted cream jacket that cinched her waist, a high, sculptural collar framing her face, and a plunging square neckline that gave it a more daring, modern edge. It also featured intricate embroidery along the hem and cuffs, which enhanced that Victorian-inspired feel.

Underneath, she wore a sheer lace bra, which added a more daring contrast to the structured jacket. It gave the look that signature FKA Twigs edge, mixing something soft with something a bit unexpected. The outfit then flowed into a wispy, gauzy skirt with frayed edges and delicate embroidered swirls, adding movement and texture while still keeping that slightly undone, artistic vibe she’s known for.

She finished the look with red braids, soft makeup, and statement jewelry that tied everything together.

Iris van Herpen Showcases Signature Futurism in Sculptural Platform Boots and an Archival Sheer Dress

Dutch designer Iris van Herpen, who designed Mary’s “comeback dress” in the movie, stepped out in one of her own creations, wearing an archival look from her label paired with boots from her Spring Summer 2016 collection, made in collaboration with Finsk.

The boots had a very avant-garde feel, with a sculptural silhouette that instantly stood out. The base was built from layered wood, shaped into an offset wedge that gave it a futuristic, display-like look, as if the shoe were sitting on its own platform.

The black leather upper was smooth and structured, with a rounded peep toe, while a side zip kept them easy to wear. I liked how the chunky base contrasted with the simple, sleek upper!

Up top, Iris van Herpen wore a nude sheer dress from her Spring/Summer 2018 collection. The silhouette was simple and body-hugging, but the optical illusion pattern made it stand out. The print created a layered, web-like effect across the fabric, while the see-through skirt added movement and a lighter finish as she walked.

She kept her hair in waves and went with minimal makeup, letting the design speak for itself.

The Shoes Defining 2026: Where Red Carpet Drama Meets Real-World Wearability

From Anne Hathaway’s polished Louboutin pumps to FKA Twigs’ exaggerated Marc Jacobs platforms, this moment in fashion reflects a wider shift—one where precision, comfort, and bold self-expression are all shaping the future of footwear. The lines between runway, red carpet, and everyday style are blurring, with designers rethinking everything from silhouette to structure.

If these looks feel directional, they are—because they’re part of a much bigger movement. Here’s how the standout styles from this event connect to the key shoe trends defining 2026:
