The Mystery of Michelle Williams’ Shoes: Christian Louboutin ‘Lady Peep’
Even though we couldn’t get a close-up of her shoe choice, her stylist told us she paired the ‘Lady Peep’ from Christian Louboutin with her exquisite gown.
Michelle Williams wore a dress featuring a ruched bustline and a peplum skirt, giving it a vintage 1950s prom vibe that felt both modern and retro
She completed her look with rich crystal-embellished peep-toe pumps, adding an extra touch of glamour to her stunning gown.
Though mostly hidden beneath the flowing fabric, a glimpse of her sparkly heels peeks through as she moves. The coveted ‘Lady Peep’ comes in various shades, but with a price tag exceeding $4,000, it remains a luxury splurge.

She wore two great pairs of heels as she posed for cameras during this promotional event. First, we spotted her in a pair of Christian Louboutin peep-toe pumps in nude leather.
Next, she wore a more modern pair of black-and-white striped pumps from Zara.

Where to Shop the Look: Christian Louboutin ‘Lady Peep’ and Affordable Alternatives
We located Frankie’s Louboutin pumps at Mytheresa:
Christian Louboutin ‘Lady Peep’ Heels, $945
These patent pump features covered heels and platforms. They’re very sexy yet versatile, which I adore. Frankie paired them with a white dress, but they’d also work with an LBD or jeans and a breezy tank top. If you’re going to splurge on a pair of Louboutins, I’d go for a nude version like these.
Her black-and-white Zara heels were pretty fabulous as well:
Zara Black-and-White Combination Heels, $79.90
These were an excellent choice for Frankie’s body-hugging black-and-white dress above. The effect would have been too cheap if she’d opted for strappy sandals. These conservative but sassy pumps completed her look very well.
