While Jessica Alba first gained fame on screen, her transition into a powerhouse entrepreneur remains one of the more successful pivots in Hollywood.
In October 2016, Alba joined Martha Stewart at the American Made Summit held at New York City’s One World Observatory to discuss the growth of her consumer goods empire, The Honest Company.

Her attire for the summit reflected her brand’s ethos: polished, approachable, and classic. Alba paired a vibrant, multicolored striped pencil skirt by Lela Rose with a simple black sleeveless knit.
The look centered on clean lines and a professional silhouette, styled with effortless loose waves and a bold lip.

Jessica accessorized with just a pair of large hoop earrings and black pumps, keeping the look simple. She wore her tresses in loose waves and sported pink lipstick to complete her look.

For footwear, Jessica Alba opted for Kurt Geiger’s iconic “Bond” pumps — a style that has quietly maintained its status as one of the London label’s defining shoes since the early 2010s.
More than a simple black pump, the Bond became known as a reliable “power heel” thanks to its sleek d’Orsay silhouette, sharply pointed toe, and the brand’s signature metal cigarette heel.
Unlike a traditional leather-wrapped stiletto, the Bond’s ultra-slim metallic heel was designed to feel both architectural and practical, resisting the scuffs and wear that often come with everyday city use. A subtly angled step where the heel meets the sole further distinguishes the design as a Kurt Geiger original.

Jessica wore the classic black suede version, which highlighted the shoe’s elegant side cutout and elongated leg line — a hallmark of the d’Orsay construction.
Over the years, the Bond has also appeared in patent leather, croc-embossed textures, metallic finishes, and crystal-embellished evening variations, helping the silhouette remain relevant across both office dressing and red-carpet styling.
