Demi Moore’s 2017 Red Carpet Shoe Evolution: Nicholas Kirkwood Platforms to Louboutin Pumps

During a series of movie premieres in New York City in 2017, Demi Moore embraced color in very different ways, stepping onto the red carpet in everything from a bohemian maxi dress to a floral Gucci suit and a flowing Christian Dior gown.

The three appearances showcased not only her evolving red-carpet style but also her choice of statement footwear, including Nicholas Kirkwood platform sandals, Christian Louboutin pumps, and Giuseppe Zanotti heels. Below, we revisit each look and take a closer look at the designer shoes that completed them.

At the New York premiere of Good Time on August 8, 2017, Demi Moore joined Chloë Sevigny in a long-sleeved bohemian-inspired maxi dress featuring an intricate multicolored print.

Chloë Sevigny wore a deconstructed black tuxedo blazer dress by Y/Project and strappy snakeskin heels.

For the New York premiere of Blind, Demi took a more tailored approach, wearing a two-piece floral suit from Gucci’s Fall 2017 collection.

The sharply cut blazer was paired with cropped flared trousers, ensuring Demi Moore’s vibrant Christian Louboutin “Aketi” pumps remained on full display. The bold footwear added an unexpected pop of color to the romantic floral ensemble, balancing the suit’s polished silhouette with a playful touch.

Moore kept the rest of the look understated, styling her sleek, center-parted hair straight and opting for minimal makeup. Round black Moscot glasses and a printed Gucci clutch lent the outfit an intellectual, fashion-editorial feel.

Peeking out beneath the hem of her trousers, the Christian Louboutin “Aketi” pumps stood out for their distinctive design. Unlike the house’s signature stiletto styles, the archived silhouette combines elements of a d’Orsay pump with a sculptural wedge-block heel, finished with scalloped edges and a covered-button ankle strap.

Crafted in richly textured velvet and set on Christian Louboutin’s iconic red sole, the style exemplifies the French label’s flair for combining classic elegance with unexpected architectural details.

No longer part of Christian Louboutin’s current lineup, the “Aketi” has become a sought-after collector’s piece and occasionally surfaces on luxury resale platforms, where prices typically vary depending on color, condition, and provenance.

3. Ethereal Elegance: Demi Moore Stuns in Christian Dior and Giuseppe Zanotti Heels

At the New York premiere of Rough Night, Demi wore a multicolored dégradé gown from Christian Dior. At the same event, Zoë Kravitz displayed her feet in strappy Oscar de la Renta ‘Romy’ sandals.
