Danai Gurira established herself as a red-carpet powerhouse on November 11, 2018, when she attended the People’s Choice Awards at Barker Hangar in Santa Monica.
Celebrating her role in Black Panther, she took home the Action Movie Star award alongside co-star Chadwick Boseman.
While the evening was a milestone for the MCU cast, it also served as a masterclass in styling a classic designer pump with avant-garde evening wear.

The actress paired a textured, beaded fringe and feathered dress from the Brock Collection Spring 2019 line with carefully selected accessories, including a Carolina Santo Domingo bag and Messika jewelry. However, the anchor of the look was her choice of footwear: the “Eloise” pump by Christian Louboutin.

See how Bella Hadid went full “red-hot” in suede Louboutin Eloise pumps at Paris Fashion Week, how Gemma Chan matched a bold red Brandon Maxwell look with coordinating Eloise pumps at the Captain Marvel London premiere, and how the silhouette translates off the red carpet with Heidi Klum’s leopard-print Louboutin Eloise booties on America’s Got Talent and Hilary Duff’s statement-making red Eloise booties on set—proof the Eloise family works seamlessly from street style to spotlight.
A staple in the Christian Louboutin lineup, the Eloise stands out for its more forgiving pitch, softer almond toe, and minimal toe cleavage—making it the most practical, walkable option compared to the steeper, sharper Pigalle and the ultra-aggressive So Kate.
