Jessica Alba has long balanced polished California minimalism with approachable off-duty dressing, often relying on streamlined tailoring, skinny jeans, and statement boots to pull casual looks together.

Speaking openly over the years about growing up in a Mexican-American family and navigating Hollywood’s narrow casting expectations, Alba developed a public image that blended glamour with relatability — a dynamic that also carried over into her street style.

In November 2015, the actress and Honest Company co-founder stepped out for her cousin’s birthday dinner at Petrossian in West Hollywood, California, wearing a neutral layered outfit anchored by a sharp pair of pointed-toe Iro booties.

The “Sin City” actress paired a beige Stella McCartney blazer with black skinny jeans and a simple black blouse, letting the clean silhouette and pointed boots do most of the work.

She finished the look with gray suede Iro boots, oversized black sunglasses, a Tory Burch satchel, and a long beaded tassel necklace that added texture without overwhelming the monochrome palette.

The actress simply wore her brown tresses down with a deep side part and sported red lipstick. Cash Warren also attended the celebration and was seen leaving the venue in a separate car.

The focal point of Jessica Alba’s outfit was her pair of Iro “Daithy” booties, a sharply pointed ankle-boot style that perfectly captured the Paris label’s mid-2010s rock-chic aesthetic. At the time, Alba frequently relied on slim cone-heel booties like these to sharpen otherwise minimal looks built around skinny jeans and tailored outerwear.

Crafted in Italy from a mix of suede and smooth calfskin leather, the boots featured pointed toes finished with subtle polished metal trim, along with sculpted 4-inch cone heels that felt sleeker and more architectural than a traditional stiletto. The contrasting leather panel wrapping around the heel added structure to the soft suede body, while the ankle-grazing shaft height paired especially well with cropped skinny jeans — one of Alba’s signature silhouettes during that era.

Originally retailing for around $600, the “Daithy” booties became one of Iro’s standout footwear styles around 2014 and 2015 and are now considered a sought-after archive design on resale platforms like The RealReal and Poshmark. Jessica wore the gray suede version, though the style was also produced in black and deep navy.

Though no longer in production, the silhouette lived on through Iro’s later “Davy” boots, which carried forward the same pointed-toe and cone-heel formula with updated paneling and proportions.
