For a press conference celebrating her Swarovski jewelry collection at the Swarovski Ginza store, Kerr chose a nude embellished mini dress and coordinated it with delicate Gianvito Rossi “Elodie” lace pumps.

The combination created a soft, monochromatic look that allowed both the intricate footwear and the crystal jewelry to stand out without competing for attention.

She completed the ensemble with pieces from her Swarovski collaboration, a classic red lip, and a sleek center-parted bun.
While the jewelry marked the occasion, the lace pumps played an equally important role, echoing the dress’s light, feminine detailing and demonstrating why Gianvito Rossi’s elegant silhouettes remain a red-carpet favorite.

Later that evening, Kerr took a different approach for the Swarovski Christmas tree lighting ceremony at the Sony Ginza building.

While she kept the same jewelry, hairstyle, and makeup, she changed the look’s tone with a printed Osman dress and a new pair of lace pumps from Jimmy Choo.

She also sported the same hairstyle and makeup but switched out her shoes, opting for a pair of Jimmy Choo “Amika” pumps in matching navy-blue lace and leather, which were clearly visible under the mid-calf hemline of the dress.

The Jimmy Choo “Amika” pumps have since sold out, but they remain a notable example of the brand’s lace evening footwear from the mid-2010s.
Characterized by delicate lace-uppers, patent-leather trims, and a pointed-toe silhouette, the design reflected the romantic yet polished aesthetic that defined many of Jimmy Choo’s occasion shoes during the era.

Why Lace Pumps Remain a Red-Carpet Favorite
Miranda Kerr’s two Tokyo appearances showed why lace pumps continue to work so well with eveningwear. Whether paired with a crystal-embellished mini dress or a printed cocktail frock, the delicate texture adds detail without overpowering the outfit.
The same styling idea reappears on the red carpet, where lace heels can make a polished look feel softer, more romantic, and more intentional.
