Zendaya, Selena Gomez and More Big Names Perfectly Match Their Pointed-Toe Pumps and Glamorous Dresses at Golden Globes 2025

While strappy sandals often rule the red carpet, another classic style reigned supreme at Golden Globes 2025 on Sunday — the pointy-toe pump.

Zendaya, Selena Gomez, Angelina Jolie, Nicole Kidman and more A-listers all perfectly matched their pumps to their dresses in a nod to Old Hollywood glamour.

Louis Vuitton ambassador Zendaya, who was styled by Law Roach of course, was one of the night’s best dressed in a saffron double silk satin column bustier gown from the fashion house, which featured a pleated train.

The star, who often matches her shoes with her dresses, wore satin pumps to complete the look. (Later, the “Challengers” star made a sneaky outfit change, revealing a second sheath dress once she stood up in the ballroom.)

Selena Gomez, in Prada, chose a pair of striking satin pumps, which matched her custom crystal blue satin off-the-shoulder column gown.

Other big names, such as Nicole Kidman and Ariana Grande, also turned to the tried-and-true shoe style for their looks — choosing hues that complemented their dresses. Grande paired her archival pastel yellow gown from Givenchy’s spring couture 1966 collection with nude pumps from Stuart Weitzman.

Kidman, a Balenciaga ambassador, wore cream satin Knife pumps from the brand to pair with her shimmering backless dress. (Kerry Washington and Michelle Yeoh were among the other actresses who wore the Knife pumps.)

Angelina Jolie – who coordinated on the red carpet with daughter Zahara — also made a striking statement in an Alexander McQueen metallic gown with matching pumps.
