How Nikki Reed Styles Jimmy Choo Anouk & Sarah Flint Gilda Pumps

On April 7, 2016, Nikki Reed attended WE Day California at The Forum in Inglewood, pairing a softly printed Zimmermann dress with nude lace Jimmy Choo “Anouk” pumps. The neutral stilettos picked up the cream and beige tones in the botanical print, while their pointed toes and delicate lace construction gave the flowing dress a more defined finish.

Standing 5’4″ (162.6 cm), Nikki Reed has built a designer-shoe wardrobe spanning Jimmy Choo, Giuseppe Zanotti, Stuart Weitzman, Sergio Rossi, Brian Atwood, and other labels. Pointed toes and slender high heels appear repeatedly in those looks, making the lace Anouk particularly consistent with her red-carpet footwear choices.

For WE Day, she wore her hair in a softly waved half-up style and kept her jewelry relatively restrained, letting the printed Zimmermann dress and lace pumps carry the look.

Reed attended with her husband, Ian Somerhalder. He chose a black suit and open-collar white shirt, while Reed’s lighter outfit combined a flowing botanical print with neutral pointed-toe pumps.

The Zimmermann design featured long sleeves, a defined waist, and a lower-calf-to-ankle-length hem. Its cream base and muted botanical print established the same soft color family continued by the footwear.

Why Nude Lace Pumps Work With a Printed Zimmermann Dress

Rather than introducing another strong color at her feet, Reed stayed within the dress’s neutral palette. That keeps the botanical print prominent while the sharp pointed toes give the flowing silhouette a more defined finish.

The styling illustrates a useful approach to patterned dresses: a neutral shoe can provide shape without creating another competing focal point. Reed’s pumps are close enough to both her skin tone and the lighter colors in the print that their silhouette and texture stand out more than their color.

A Closer Look at Nikki Reed’s Jimmy Choo Anouk Lace Pumps

Reed’s shoes were Jimmy Choo “Anouk” pumps, a sharply pointed single-sole style with a low-cut vamp and an approximately 4.7-inch (120mm) needle-thin stiletto heel. Her nude version added an embroidered lace upper framed by patent leather trim. The Jimmy Choo Anouk became a recurring celebrity red-carpet pump, appearing in numerous colors, materials, and finishes.

That mix of a severe pump silhouette and delicate fabrication makes this version particularly effective with Reed’s Zimmermann dress. The low-cut vamp and pointed toe keep the shoe visually light beneath the longer hem, while the sheer floral lace relates to the dress without literally repeating its botanical print.

From the side, the contrast between the delicate upper and the Anouk’s steep heel becomes clearer. Unlike a platform pump, it has no substantial sole beneath the forefoot, keeping its classic single-sole silhouette intact.

Pointed-Toe Pumps Are a Recurring Part of Nikki Reed’s Shoe Style

The Anouk wasn’t an isolated footwear choice for Reed. In November 2013, she wore the same white Giuseppe Zanotti pointed-toe pumps with two different Camilla and Marc dresses, first taking a monochromatic approach and then contrasting the white shoes with a graphic blue-and-red print.

Those Giuseppe Zanotti heels and the lace Jimmy Choos create different effects. The white pumps provide obvious contrast, while the Anouks blend into the dress’s softer colors. What connects them is the elongated pointed toe, slender heel, and uncluttered silhouette.

Reed’s Jimmy Choo wardrobe wasn’t limited to pumps, either. Later in 2016, she wore the brand’s “Ren” cutout sandals with a navy Jonathan Simkhai dress, trading the Anouk’s uninterrupted pump silhouette for a caged arrangement of cutouts and straps.

The Anouk also sits within Jimmy Choo’s longer history of streamlined heels. Alongside styles such as the Romy and Love, Jimmy Choo’s signature pumps and heels form an important part of the brand’s footwear identity.

That helps explain why Reed’s WE Day footwear still looks straightforward years later. The lace reflects a particular interpretation of the Anouk, but the underlying formula — pointed toe, single sole, slim stiletto, and neutral color — doesn’t depend on a short-lived trend.

Jimmy Choo “Anouk” lace pumps originally retailed for about $750, combining an embroidered lace upper with patent trim and the style’s sharply pointed single-sole silhouette

Nikki Reed Switches to Sarah Flint Gilda Slingbacks for Extra

On April 13, 2016, Nikki Reed visited the Extra set at Universal Studios in Los Angeles while promoting her Earth Day partnership with Kiehl’s. Six days after wearing nude Jimmy Choo pumps to WE Day, she returned to pointed heels in a very different form: metallic Sarah Flint “Gilda” T-strap slingbacks.

Reed paired the gold heels with an earth-toned ASOS mini dress featuring a high neckline, sheer panels, textured detailing, and flared bell sleeves. The combination kept the palette relatively subdued while using the metallic footwear to add contrast at ground level.

The appearance supported Reed’s Earth Day collaboration with Kiehl’s, which included limited-edition packaging featuring her artwork and a charitable component benefiting Recycle Across America.

Her ASOS dress mixed several textures within the same brown-and-olive color family, including sheer panels, crochet-like detailing, decorative trim, and ruffled bell sleeves. Against those matte, earthy surfaces, the reflective gold shoes became the outfit’s clearest visual break.

Reed carried a navy bag from her collaboration with Freedom of Animals, adding another element connected to her interest in animal-conscious fashion. Gold earrings and rings echoed the metallic footwear, while the dark bag provided a solid counterpoint to the heavily textured dress.

A Closer Look at Nikki Reed’s Sarah Flint Gilda Slingback Pumps

Reed finished the look with Sarah Flint “Gilda” pumps, a pointed-toe design built around a T-strap front, slingback construction, and approximately four-inch (100mm) heel. The textured gold finish has a crackled, almost weathered-metal appearance, giving the shoes more depth than a smooth metallic pump.

The construction also makes the Gilda noticeably different from the Jimmy Choo Anouk Reed had worn six days earlier. The Anouk uses a low-cut vamp and uninterrupted single-sole pump silhouette, while the Gilda visually divides the foot with its T-strap and secures it with a slingback strap.

That difference matters with the clothes. Reed’s Zimmermann dress called for a shoe that could recede into its pale print, while the dark ASOS mini dress left considerably more of the Gilda exposed. Its metallic finish and geometric straps therefore function as part of the outfit rather than simply extending the leg’s color.

How Nikki Reed Uses Pointed Heels to Change the Mood of an Outfit

Reed’s two April 2016 looks make the contrast especially clear. At WE Day, the nude lace Jimmy Choo Anouks nearly merge with the pale Zimmermann print, leaving their sharp pointed toes and delicate texture to define the footwear. Six days later on Extra, the Sarah Flint Gildas do the opposite: their gold finish and T-strap construction stand out against the dark, textured ASOS mini dress.

The common thread is the pointed toe and slender heel, but Reed doesn’t rely on a single footwear formula. Across her red-carpet and off-duty wardrobe, she has moved between barely-there sandals, metallic platforms, ankle boots, and statement heels while using the shoes to either echo the clothes or provide deliberate contrast. The looks below show more of that range.
