Alessandra Ambrosio’s Sheer Zuhair Murad Gown & Christian Louboutin “J String” Pumps at amfAR Gala

At the amfAR Inspiration Gala held at Milk Studios in Los Angeles on October 29, 2015, Alessandra Ambrosio stepped onto the red carpet in a sheer Zuhair Murad gown styled with Christian Louboutin’s “J String” pumps.

While the dramatic dress drew attention, the sharply pointed T-strap heels added the sleek finishing touch that defined the look.

The black patent Christian Louboutin “J String” pumps were mostly concealed beneath Ambrosio’s embellished Zuhair Murad gown, but the sharply pointed toe and slim T-strap silhouette added the sleek, elongated effect that made the style one of Louboutin’s most recognizable evening pumps of the 2010s.

Designed with a low-cut vamp and slender ankle strap, the “J String” balanced the sensual lines of a classic stiletto with the added stability of a structured T-bar silhouette.

While the Christian Louboutin “J String” was a red-carpet favorite during the mid-2010s, the style is no longer part of the brand’s current retail lineup. Originally offered in versions ranging from 100mm to 120mm heels, the pointed-toe T-strap pump became known for its low-cut vamp, slender ankle strap, and signature red sole.

Produced in patent leather, metallic finishes, and seasonal colorways, the “J String” typically retailed for about $900 to $995 when new. Although Christian Louboutin has since retired the silhouette from regular production, it remains popular among collectors and fans of the brand’s classic designs.

As of 2026, the “J String” is primarily available through luxury resale and consignment platforms, where prices vary considerably depending on condition, size, color, and rarity. Well-preserved pairs often sell for several hundred dollars, while unworn examples can command significantly higher prices.
