Stunning starlets gathered together for the Teen Vogue 13th Annual Young Hollywood Party in Beverly Hills in October 2015. Many turned up in their stylish best, but we’re especially drawn to Mad Men star Kiernan Shipka’s ensemble.
Other stars who impressed on the black carpet included Sarah Hyland in a daring black-and-silver Vatanika mini dress paired with Giuseppe Zanotti ‘Coline’ sandals and Kaia Gerber in a structured Emporio Armani little black dress with sparkling strappy stilettos.

Minimal Accessories and Mustard Heels Complete the Look
Her dress also had a striped collar and an A-line silhouette that kept it classy and youthful. She wore minimal accessories to make her dress stand out, but a pair of mustard pumps brightened her look further.
Her side-parted locks were pinned back on one side, and her makeup was kept fresh with pink lipstick.

Kiernan Shipka Adds a Bold Pop of Color With Classic Pigalle Pumps
Kiernan’s heels are the classic “Pigalle” pumps by Christian Louboutin—simple yet undeniably chic. Featuring pointed toes and sleek 4.5-inch heels, the iconic silhouette is elevated by a bold twist: glossy mustard yellow patent leather.
The vibrant hue added a playful pop of color to her look while maintaining the timeless elegance Louboutin is known for.

The Pigalle pump, introduced in the early 2000s by Christian Louboutin, was named after Paris’s vibrant Pigalle district, known for its edgy nightlife and artistic energy.
It became a cornerstone of the Louboutin brand. Designed as a timeless pointed-toe stiletto with a slightly sturdier heel (available in 80mm to 120mm heights), it blends classic elegance with a provocative edge.

Pigalle vs. Pigalle Follies: A Stylish Breakdown of Louboutin’s Iconic Pumps
While both the Pigalle and Pigalle Follies are iconic pointed-toe pumps from Christian Louboutin, the key differences lie in their structure and overall vibe. The original Pigalle features a more classic design with a slightly thicker heel and a deeper, more structured toe box, offering greater stability and coverage.
In contrast, the Pigalle Follies has a slimmer, tapered stiletto heel and a lower-cut vamp that shows more toe cleavage, resulting in a sexier, more delicate silhouette. Both styles are finished with Louboutin’s signature red sole, but they cater to slightly different style and comfort preferences.
The styles shown below are all variations of the Pigalle Follies. If you’re looking to explore or shop both the Pigalle and Pigalle Follies, you can find a variety of colors and materials available at Nordstrom and Mytheresa.
