From The Big Bang Theory to Fashion Star: Kaley Cuoco’s BCBG & Louboutin Moment

More than a decade after charming audiences as Penny on The Big Bang Theory, Kaley Cuoco’s red carpet credentials remain as strong as ever.

Back at PaleyFest in March 2013, the American actress turned heads in a sleek black-and-white BCBG Max Azria look — a masterclass in understated glamour that still feels timeless.

On this occasion, Kaley embraced a sleek monochromatic palette in a BCBG Max Azria Spring 2013 dress — a white silk design framed with black trims, accented by a floral-printed sheer yoke and two front-patch pockets.

The look was part of a collection that marked a departure from BCBG’s usual vibrant color-blocking, leaning instead into Helmut Newton-inspired black-and-white sophistication.

Designed by Max and Lubov Azria, the Spring 2013 lineup balanced soft, fluid fabrics with structured, modern details, creating an aesthetic that was equal parts feminine and strong.

Skipping the leather harnesses that became a defining runway feature, Kaley kept the focus on her streamlined silhouette, accessorizing with a bold animal-print Prada clutch and classic black Louboutin kitten-heel pumps.

While the exact style name of her Louboutin kitten‑heel pumps remains a mystery, fashion lovers can still admire how those chic heels complemented her 5′ 5¾″ (167 cm) frame. She’s known to slip into a US size 8 and often favors standout footwear from BCBG, Christian Louboutin, Stuart Weitzman, Balenciaga, Aperlaï, and Kurt Geiger.

From Kaley’s chic PaleyFest moment to countless other red carpet and street-style sightings, kitten heels continue to prove their staying power in women’s fashion. They strike that sweet balance between elegance and ease — a quality that makes them a perennial favorite across decades and dress codes.
