Emma Stone’s Best Shoes: From Louboutin ‘Viveka’ to Lanvin Cap-Toes

Emma Stone’s 2014 press tour for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 remains a definitive case study in transitional red-carpet style.

Throughout the European leg of the tour, Stone balanced the high-glamour requirements of a blockbuster premiere with an observational, avant-garde approach to footwear and tailoring.

Emma Stone Stuns in Yellow Atelier Versace and Christian Louboutin ‘Viveka’ Sandals

On April 10, 2014, Emma Stone lit up the Odeon Leicester Square in London in a vibrant yellow custom Atelier Versace gown—a bold, sunlit choice that cut through the sea of predictable, dark-toned superhero-premiere attire.

She finished the look with Christian Louboutin ‘Viveka’ sandals and sculptural David Webb pieces, striking a balance between high-glam polish and modern edge.

The Viveka sandals, introduced in Louboutin’s Spring/Summer 2014 lineup, perfectly echoed that energy. Defined by their asymmetrical crossover straps and sleek slingback, the silhouette delivers a barely-there effect with just enough structure to anchor the foot—equal parts delicate and architectural.

Set on a sharp 120mm stiletto, the design is subtly grounded by a discreet hidden platform that softens the pitch without compromising its leg-lengthening impact. And, of course, the signature red lacquered sole flashes with every step—a visual shorthand for Louboutin’s enduring allure.

What makes the Viveka particularly compelling is its versatility across finishes. From classic black leather and high-gloss patent to more directional Ayers snakeskin iterations—often rendered in striking, multicolored palettes—the sandal adapts effortlessly from understated eveningwear to statement red carpet moments. Zoe Saldaña wore Christian Louboutin “Viveka” sandals with a white pointy-collared dress from the Preen Pre-Fall 2014 collection to the premiere of ‘Cantinflas’ at the TCL Chinese Theatre.

Today, the style remains a sought-after find on the resale market—not just for its connection to a defining red carpet moment, but for its enduring design. Expect original retail prices in the $895–$1,200 range, with current resale values typically ranging from $150 to $600, depending on condition and material. Fit-wise, Louboutin’s signature narrow last applies here—most collectors recommend sizing up half a size for comfort, especially given the slim, high-tension straps.

The floor-length design was defined by its structured silhouette, featuring sharp, padded shoulders and a defined waistband accented with Swarovski crystals.

While the pleated skirt added a classic movement to the look, the open-back construction provided a modern, geometric contrast that remains visually relevant years later.

Emma Stone Goes Darkly Glam in Lanvin at the Paris Premiere

Just a day after lighting up London, Emma Stone arrived in Paris for The Amazing Spider-Man 2 premiere with Andrew Garfield, the pair pivoting into coordinated black.

The palette may have been restrained, but Stone still commanded the moment—effortlessly drawing the eye as they stepped onto the red carpet.

The American actress was daring in a strapless Lanvin dress accented with a military-like wide belt that cinched Emma’s waist. It had a touch of bondage as it was made of black buttery faux leather material that made Emma look even paler.

It also featured sexy draped ruching and a thigh-high slit. She styled her hair in a bun with loose waves on one side and finished her glamorous look with a bright red lip shade.

Inside Emma Stone’s Lanvin Cap-Toe Ankle-Strap Pumps

Although Emma’s dress was the main focus of her ensemble, we still can’t help but notice her pumps’ wide grosgrain-ribbon ankle straps.

Her Lanvin shoes are made of calfskin, with Spazzalato cap toes and heel counters, and finished with 4.75-inch heels. The Lanvin pumps are available in nude and black.

The Lanvin cap-toe ankle-strap pumps in black combine a glossy rounded toe with a sculptural stiletto and dramatic grosgrain ankle wrap, originally retailing for $1,150
