She ditched the sparkling, sexy gown worn during the show for a more demure and edgier outfit, which included a black jumpsuit with lace detail.

At 35, the singer also kept her accessories simple yet classy. She layered her gold necklaces and wore a gold bangle and some rings.

As for her shoes, Nicole wore a pair of black d’Orsay pumps with almond toes in patent leather. Although they seem classic, the pumps are unlike any ordinary black pumps.

The heel counters are very different, not to mention very modern. These pumps are called the “Armor” because they have armor-like heels. They feature a cage design in gold, which we don’t usually see on other pumps. The architectural design of these pumps is what makes them unique.

Nicole should have worn a miniskirt or cropped trousers to do the shoe justice. But at least the lace of her pants gave us enough view of her pumps’ heel design.

The pumps are from Sergio Rossi’s Fall 2013 collection. However, we couldn’t find them online. However, we found similar pairs at Farfetch with similar cage designs on the soles.
