Ashlee Simpson Chooses Off White Coat and Tiger Print Pumps From Now-Shuttered Piferi for ‘Hollywood Virgin’ Launch With Husband Evan Ross
Ashlee Simpson is a supporter of literacy. The”La La La” musician supported the launch of the new book “Hollywood Virgin” on Wednesday night. She turned up to The Abbey bar in West Hollywood, where the event was held, on the arm of her husband Evan Ross. For it, she wore an oversized off white duster jacket, off-the-shoulder top and trouser set from Deme by Gabriella.
While most of the look was monochromatic, Simpson chose to add a pop with her footwear. The singer wore a pair of animal print heels that peeked from beneath the legs of her oversized trousers. With. a pointed toe, the shoes appeared to be Piferi‘s Avangarda heel in a tiger-print.
Brown and black in color, the heel features. a sharply pointed toe. In addition, it contains a low-cut vamp. The tonal stitching disappears into the rest of the upper. While it’s not visible, the Avangarda includes a sculpted heel. It includes a concave sort of curve. The heel measures just over four inches.
