On February 8, 2013, Jennifer Lawrence was photographed leaving her hotel in London wearing an all-black ensemble that referenced the structured, mid-century silhouettes often associated with Jackie Kennedy Onassis.

She anchored the look with Jimmy Choo’s “Maya” pumps—an early-2010s standout that distilled the brand’s signature “rock-chic” sensibility into a sharply pointed, stiletto silhouette, softened by a delicate suede bow and finished with all-over micro studs that read as a subtle metallic shimmer rather than overt hardware.
The contrast feels distinctly Jennifer Lawrence: an effortless, almost understated presence offset by a darker, more directional edge—exactly the kind of balance that made the Maya a defining shoe of her Hunger Games era and a lasting reference point for studded, feminine tailoring.

The edgy and chic Maya heels resemble that quality as well. They could be paired with a little black dress for a date night, a suit for the office, or even a red carpet outfit!

While the Maya pump has since moved into Jimmy Choo’s archives, the silhouette remains a versatile example of how a studded heel can transition from formal evening wear to sharp business attire.
