Nicole Scherzinger is in the midst of one of the most vibrant times of her career, and she’s got the footwear to match.
Having recently completed her “Sunset Blvd.” run on Broadway, for which she won a Tony Award, the singer is still making the press rounds, speaking about her experience on the show as well as her judging stint on the Netflix reality competition show “Building the Band.”

Not only has her singing and onstage presence been on point throughout her press tour, but her wardrobe and footwear choices have hit every note. She has been mainly working with stylist Michael Philouze, who has put her in a long list of designer dresses and ensembles, but they have kept it classic when it comes to her shoes.
During a recent appearance on “The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon” on Wednesday, Scherzinger popped on a pair of glamorous, high-shine Christian Louboutin So Kate pumps.

When it comes to pulling a simple all-black ensemble together, nothing does it quite like a pair of the So Kate. She paired the extravagant heels with Look 18 from the Hervé Léger resort 2026 collection, which consisted of a dress with sheer long sleeves, with a cropped top bodice and a form-fitting pencil midi skirt under.
The black patent leather of her shoes reflected the bright lights from the TV studio, making their sharp lines pop even more. The So Kate pump is one of the French footwear designer’s most timeless silhouettes. The pointed-toe pump features a sculpted upper that extends its lines to the bold low cut on the vamp, leaving most of the foot exposed. It sits atop a slender 120 mm heel that gives the arch of the foot an exaggerated lift.

The unmistakable and signature pop of red graced the bottom of her Louboutins’ soles, giving her all-black look a welcome splash of color. She added some glam with bracelets and earrings from the fine jewelry brand Marli.
Scherzinger has been a notable fan of the So Kate pumps for quite some time. The singer has been spotted wearing the heels in a variety of colors over the years, joining other stars like Zendaya, Tracee Ellis Ross, Melania Trump, and more, who have also been longtime fans of the style.
The So Kate was released in 2013, and it followed the designer’s popular Kate pump, which was introduced in 2012. Both styles were inspired by supermodel Kate Moss, who is the designer’s longtime friend and muse. The So Kate is also known for its higher heel, measuring 120mm, and a much more pointed toe compared to the original Kate pump. The Miss Z, which was released in 2024, is marketed to be a more comfortable and modern version of the So Kate.
