At the American Horror Story 100th episode celebration held at the Hollywood Forever Cemetery in Los Angeles on October 26, 2019, Emma Roberts leaned into the night’s gothic atmosphere with a look that felt equal parts romantic and playful.
Joining fellow cast members, including Sarah Paulson, she arrived in an eye-catching Vivetta Spring/Summer 2020 design that subtly echoed her fan-favorite witch characters without turning the red carpet into a costume.

Although it appears to be a mini dress at first glance, Roberts’ outfit is actually an off-the-shoulder satin romper with structured shorts.

Designed by Italian label Vivetta, the piece pairs oversized vintage-inspired puff sleeves with a sweetheart neckline and a crystal-outlined heart motif across the bodice, creating a balance of gothic romance and whimsical glamour that suited both the Halloween-season event and her American Horror Story legacy.

She kept the styling understated, wearing softly tousled waves, winged eyeliner, defined brows, and a muted mauve lip. Stud earrings, a handful of rings, and classic Christian Louboutin pumps kept the focus on the romper’s sculptural silhouette.
Her black Christian Louboutin “Uptown” 100 leather d’Orsay pumps are crafted in Italy from smooth nappa leather with pointed toes, elegant side cutouts, slim buckled ankle straps, 100 mm (4-inch) stiletto heels, and the house’s signature red lacquered soles.

The Uptown has since been discontinued from Christian Louboutin’s core collection, but its clean d’Orsay silhouette remains highly collectible on luxury resale platforms.
As of July 2026, shoppers looking for a similar pointed-toe pump can still find current Christian Louboutin styles at Farfetch, including the Pigalle 100, Kate 85 and Kate 100, Iriza 85, Miss Z, and Twistissimo pumps. Each preserves part of the Uptown’s appeal through a sharply pointed toe, a sculpted stiletto heel, and the house’s unmistakable red sole.
How Christian Louboutin’s Uptown Pumps Became a Red-Carpet Favorite
Roberts was far from the only celebrity drawn to the Uptown’s streamlined shape. Across sheer dresses, embroidered gowns, leather looks, and tailored eveningwear, the pump repeatedly proved that a simple ankle strap and open-sided silhouette could add definition without overwhelming the outfit.
