In November 2018, Amber Heard graced the 2018 Glamour Women of the Year Awards held in New York City. At first, it looked like Amber’s look would tick all our boxes, but we came to a screeching halt when we got to her shoes.

A Surprising Shoe Choice: Louboutin Heels That Didn’t Quite Fit the Look

The 32-year-old actress inexplicably paired her delicate Oscar de la Renta Spring 2019 white fringed lace dress with vampy Christian Louboutin ‘Iriza’ black patent pumps. The pairing is just so jarring.

Amber wore a matching black blazer after walking the red carpet, and we think she should’ve kept that on to lessen the harsh contrast of her outfit.

When we examined Amber’s lightning-bolt ear piercings and other jewelry, her sexy shoes made much more sense. Still, it wasn’t enough to redeem her sartorial choices.

Redemption on the Red Carpet: Amber’s Perfect Pairing at ‘London Fields’ Premiere

Amber nailed the styling of her Christian Louboutin ‘Iriza’ pumps when she wore them a few weeks earlier to the “London Fields” premiere.

The blonde beauty oozed sex appeal in the Louboutins paired with an Elie Saab Spring 2019 black-sequined long-sleeved dress.

Now, this is how you style ultra-sexy shoes.

The Price of Beauty: Blisters from the Louboutin Heels

Never mind that Amber also revealed some blisters and small, open wounds while wearing her Louboutins. Those high arches and 4-inch stilettos aren’t easy to walk in.

She also had on, once again, a fabulous selection of cuffs, studs, and dangling earrings.

Amber Heard’s affinity for Christian Louboutin footwear has consistently highlighted her red carpet appearances.

From the shimmering “Pigalle” pumps adorned with crystal lattice at the ‘3 Days to Kill’ premiere to the sophisticated “So Kate” pumps gracing multiple events, her choices reflect a deep appreciation for the brand’s craftsmanship.
