Kathryn Newton and Sarah Michelle Gellar Ground Sleek Black Dresses in Louboutin ‘So Kate’ and Jimmy Choo ‘Brigitte’ Pumps at Paris Premiere

Kathryn Newton and Sarah Michelle Gellar coordinated in striking style at the Paris premiere of their comedy-horror film Ready or Not 2: Here I Come (also known as Wedding Nightmare 2), continuing a press-tour pattern already defined by polished pump pairings—from earlier appearances featuring sleek Jimmy Choo and Rodo heels on the New York circuit to refined red-carpet silhouettes abroad.

Both stars once again stepped out in flattering black dresses anchored by classic black pumps—but the energy they projected couldn’t have been more different.

Newton, wearing a Greta Constantine dress with Christian Louboutin pumps, came across polished with a playful edge.

Meanwhile, Gellar, in a Temraza Rebirth Collection strapless dress paired with Jimmy Choo heels, delivered a more elevated, undeniably sultry look. Let’s take a closer look at their outfits.

Kathryn Newton Keeps It Playful in Greta Constantine and Classic Christian Louboutin So Kate Pumps

Kathryn Newton switched things up from her Rome premiere look, swapping bold red for a sleek, all-black outfit while keeping that same silhouette that really works for her. I liked how she stuck with the same vibe but made it feel more classic and fresh this time.

Newton slipped into the black version of the Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps, which paired perfectly with her outfit. Made in Italy from glossy black nappa leather, the shoes added a polished, high-shine finish that pulled everything together.

The pointed toes and low-cut vamps gave them that signature sexy edge, while the 4.7-inch stiletto heels added height and sharpened their overall silhouette, making everything look more refined and put-together. You can get them for $795 at Nordstrom.

Kathryn paired the pumps with a black halter dress from Greta Constantine, which really captured the designer’s playful yet sophisticated aesthetic. It featured a halter neckline that tied at the back with a large bow, adding a feminine touch that contrasted with the sleek design.

The cutout sides and open back added a subtle hint of sultriness, while the fitted silhouette hugged her frame before slightly flaring just below the knees. I loved how that soft flare gave the dress a flirty, more relaxed finish.

Kathryn added black tights, similar to how she styled her look in Rome, and finished it off with Chopard jewelry, including diamond floral earrings, a few rings, and a bracelet. Her blonde waves framed her face nicely, while her bold red lip and matching manicure added a striking pop of color.

Sarah Michelle Gellar Goes Sultry in Temraza and Jimmy Choo Brigitte Pumps

Sarah Michelle Gellar kept things sleek and elevated, and I get why she keeps going back to the same Jimmy Choo heels; they work every single time!

The petite actress again wore the black Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” pumps crafted from shiny satin, giving them that polished, dressy finish that pairs so well with evening looks.

Her shoes featured a curved topline and a high-cut vamp that framed her foot in a flattering way, while the pointed toe with a stitched band detail created a cap-toe effect, adding structure and making the shoes look a bit more refined.

The Jimmy Choo “Brigitte” pumps are available for $895 at Mytheresa and Farfetch.

The Rise of Jimmy Choo’s “Brigitte”: A Sculptural Pump Defining the 2026 Red Carpet

Part of Jimmy Choo’s Spring/Summer 2026 lineup, the “Brigitte” has quickly emerged as a red-carpet essential, thanks to its sharply pointed toe, high-cut curved vamp, and signature stitched detailing across the front.

The silhouette blends vintage glamour with a more directional, modern edge—making it a natural choice for stars looking to elevate even the simplest black dress.

From press tours to major awards shows, celebrities have already embraced the style in multiple finishes and heel heights. Explore how “Brigitte” has been styled across recent appearances below:

Gellar paired the heels with a black Temraza dress from the Rebirth collection. It had a corseted bodice that hugged her figure, giving her a sculpted silhouette, while the draped bust and frayed lace along the strapless neckline added texture and softened the structured design slightly.

It also featured sheer lace panels at the sides, which offered a glimpse of her midriff, adding a subtle hint of allure and a darker, more dramatic vibe.

Below, the skirt featured an asymmetric wrap style that created a thigh-high slit, showing off her leg and adding movement to the look.

She finished everything with Effy diamond earrings, a Selim Mouzannar Mid-Century Ballerina diamond ring, and a Cathy Waterman 22k recycled blackened gold acorn band with diamonds, adding just enough sparkle to complement the overall look.
