Nicole Scherzinger Masters Leather-on-Leather Glamour in London Wearing Christian Louboutin “So Kate” Pumps

Nicole Scherzinger has never been one to shy away from a statement look. Whether commanding the spotlight as a judge on The X Factor or dazzling on the red carpet, she’s built a reputation for balancing fierce confidence with timeless glamour.

Among her many go-to pieces, few capture her signature blend of power and polish quite like Christian Louboutin’s iconic “So Kate” pumps — a silhouette she’s revisited time and again throughout her career.

From a sleek, all-black leather ensemble in London to a sculptural white strapless gown at the “One For The Boys” Fashion Ball, these red-soled heels have become a constant in Scherzinger’s fashion evolution — a reminder that true style transcends trends.

While she braved the cold in a mini dress in November 2016, the American singer-songwriter covered up a little bit this time as she stepped out of her hotel the following month.

Elevating Leather With Louboutin’s Iconic “So Kate” Pumps

Since her dress and jacket were both crafted from sleek leather, Nicole introduced a touch of contrast with one of fashion’s most iconic heels — the Christian Louboutin “So Kate” pumps.

Named after supermodel Kate Moss, this razor-sharp, ultra-feminine silhouette has defined red-carpet glamour since its 2013 debut. With its sky-high 120 mm (4.7-inch) stiletto, low-cut vamp, and signature red-lacquered sole, the So Kate remains a symbol of power, poise, and timeless allure — a perfect complement to Scherzinger’s bold leather ensemble.

Over the past year, we have seen variations of these shoes on numerous celebrities, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Kristen Stewart, Lily Collins, Kate Moss, and Renee Bargh.

Nicole Scherzinger, best known for her powerhouse vocals and magnetic stage presence, is no stranger to flawless red-carpet moments. But even style icons need their indulgences — and the Dirty Dancing actress proved she can balance glamour with a down-to-earth attitude.

One year before starring as Penny in ABC’s television film Dirty Dancing, Nicole was spotted stopping for some fast food on the way to Manchester for her appearance on “X Factor” after performing at the “One For The Boys” fashion ball in London.

For the One For The Boys Fashion Ball at The V&A, Nicole wore a white strapless leather dress with flower embellishments from London couture designer Nicholas Oakwell.

The singer chose a bold berry lip for her outfit and kept her accessories minimal. She paired the gown with classic black suede “So Kate” pumps from Christian Louboutin.

We typically appreciate a classic black pump, but these felt a bit too bulky for the dress. A strappy white sandal would have effortlessly elevated the look.

After keeping her composure and grace on the red carpet, Nicole showed her down-to-earth side later that evening when she made a quick stop for a late-night bite.

She even shared a playful Instagram photo, jokingly captioning it “from lady to lardy” as she enjoyed her fast-food meal on the way to Manchester.
