Naomi Campbell gave sheer glamour the supermodel treatment on Sunday, pairing a floor-length beaded gown with matte satin stilettos for the “F1: The Movie” European premiere in London. The red carpet event, held at Cineworld Leicester Square, marked another sharp outing in her decades-long archive of black pumps on the red carpet.

The shoes — low-cut, knife-pointed and satin-finished — were textbook classic. A quiet but effective contrast to the gown’s glassy embellishments, the pumps featured extended vamps, soft almond-point toes and skinny mirrored metal heels, creating a clean, lifted silhouette from hemline to heel. The minimal construction kept the eye on the beading, but the shoe’s geometry gave the look its edge.

Campbell’s pumps also brought serious lift. The heel, estimated around four inches, created a graceful tension under the sheer fabric. Walkability has never been a question for her; she famously tumbled in Vivienne Westwood’s 1993 Super-Elevated Gillies, then carried on with poise. Here, even four inches look effortless.

The rest of the outfit followed suit. Her sheer black gown, stitched with tonal sequins and styled with just one diamond cuff, offered movement without clutter. She kept accessories to a minimum: no necklace, narrow black sunglasses and her hair worn pin-straight. Everything was calibrated for impact without flash.

She’s carried that tone into 2025. At the Cannes premiere of Fuori on May 20, Campbell maintained a similar aesthetic in Dolce & Gabbana Alta Moda’s baroque black-and-gold creation— structured corset, voluminous tulle skirt — and framed her natural, teased-out afro with bold drop earrings, letting the gown keep focus. Although the footwear wasn’t photographed clearly, the understated styling suggested pumps in keeping with the lavish yet calibrated aesthetic.

The “F1: The Movie” pumps sit squarely in that tradition — refined but unforgiving in cut, and designed for the camera. In contrast to Tiffany Haddish’s glossy Louboutin-style pumps or Megan Thee Stallion’s strappy black sandals this season, Campbell’s satin stilettos are nearly stark: no buckle, no embellishment, no branding — just a clean finish and a mirrored blade of a heel.
