The trendy-yet-classic pointed-toe shoes feature a 4.1-inch stiletto and a hand-sewn golden Gucci chain along the slingback strap. The Signoria pump is named after the central piazza in Florence, a nod to the “classic elegance” of the city where Gucci began.

Pumps are a classic women’s shoe style that have remained a red carpet favorite for their versatility and elegance. Pointed-toe pumps with a slim stiletto are a popular variation of the shoe, and have increased in popularity in recent years, thanks to pointy toes coming back into trend after their heyday in the ’80s and ’90s. You can find pointed-toe pumps from prestigious designers including Manolo Blahnik, Yves Saint Laurent, Dior, Gianvito Rossi and Balenciaga.

The beloved sports journalist is known for both her bold interview style and fashionista style. She is a fan of coordinating chic bodycon dresses and power-suits with eye-catching pointed-toe pumps. In recent on-court interviews, she’s opted for pumps in iridescent lavender, shiny gold and classic black.

A24’s “Opus” stars John Malkovich as an eccentric older pop star and possible cult leader who invites journalists, including co-lead Ayo Edebiri, and fans to his remote desert compound for an album listening party. The horror-satire is Mark Anthony Green’s debut feature and arrives to movie theaters on March 14.

The “Opus” premiere took place on Feb. 19 at the Egyptian Theater Hollywood. The film’s stars Edebiri, Malkovich, Stephanie Suganami and John Malkovich joined the premiere in style, as did celebrity guests Usher, Rico Nasty and Omar Apollo.
