In Tokyo on September 25, 2014, Leighton Meester stepped out to promote the jewelry brand St. Rillian in a polished Emilio Pucci shift dress paired with metallic watersnake Jimmy Choo “Anouk” pumps — one of the brand’s most enduring celebrity-favorite silhouettes of the 2010s.

The structured mini dress balanced Pucci’s signature color play with clean, understated styling, allowing the pointed-toe pumps to stand out.
Meester’s appearance also reflected the sleek event dressing that defined her post-Gossip Girl fashion era, where sharp tailoring and classic heels often replaced the more theatrical looks associated with Blair Waldorf.

To finish her simple but chic ensemble, Leighton showed off her feet in Jimmy Choo’s “Anouk” pumps in a gorgeous metallic watersnake leather style.

The Jimmy Choo “Anouk” became one of the defining pointed-toe pumps of the 2010s thanks to its razor-sharp silhouette, low-cut vamp, and towering 120mm stiletto heel.
Frequently worn by celebrities including Victoria Beckham, Reese Witherspoon, and Michelle Obama, the sleek design earned a reputation as a stylist favorite because it elongated the leg without overpowering a gown or tailored look.
While admired for its elegant, dagger-like profile and signature hint of toe cleavage, the dramatic pitch also made the Anouk notoriously challenging to walk in — helping cement its status as both a fashion icon and a true red-carpet shoe.

Leighton Meester’s metallic watersnake pumps were more than a sleek finishing touch — they placed her look within a wider 2010s fashion story, when Jimmy Choo’s sharply pointed “Anouk” became one of the decade’s most photographed celebrity stilettos.
