When we spotted this throwback of Jamie Chung stepping out in Ruthie Davis’ bold “Popsicle” pumps, it instantly reminded us why this silhouette defined early-2010s red-carpet fashion.
The saturated colorblocking, sky-high platform, and playful energy capture everything we still love about statement heels today.

Styling the Popsicle Pumps: Jamie’s Nude Brose Dress & Glam Accessories
The American actress and former reality television personality styled them with a nude-colored shift dress by Brose, JewelMint earrings and ring, and a Lancaster bag.
She finished her look with a few jewelry pieces and a glamorous clutch.

Jamie Chung’s Color-Play Evolution: From Popsicle Pumps to Fringe and Mismatched Heels
We love how Jamie paired a neutral blush-colored dress with these bright, eye-catching Popsicle platform pumps.
That bold, playful energy Jamie Chung brought to the red carpet in her Ruthie Davis “Popsicle” pumps is classic Jamie—she’s never afraid to make her footwear the focus. While the iconic 2012 heels are now a rare find, you can capture that unapologetic, color-forward aesthetic with styles from her other standout looks.
For a similar graphic statement, explore her choice of the coveted Aquazzura “Wild Thing” fringe sandals, proving she masters the power of a single color pop. Or, if you want to push the boundaries even further, channel the playful high-fashion risk she took when she rocked a mismatched pair of Sophia Webster “Rosalind” heels at the 2018 Golden Globes — a bold reminder that sometimes shoes deserve to steal the show.

When we recently highlighted Angelina Jolie’s shoe choices and her need for a touch of color, this was exactly the kind of palette play we had in mind. She even stepped out in a similarly hued dress paired with classic nude heels.

We wish Angelina would take a cue from Jamie and liven up her look a bit. Imagine Angelina’s beautiful floor-length nude gown paired with the Popsicle pumps from Ruthie Davis!
A nude dress provides the perfect opportunity to deviate from the norm and rock a pair of multi-colored pumps.
