BRB while I snag a pair.
Some trends come and go, but others stay for generations, such as the pointed-toe heel. The iconic silhouette became a hit in the 1950s, with its popularity only increasing throughout the years. Though, Mary Janes, slingback heels, and mesh ballet flats seemingly pushed it into a corner—until now.
Blake Lively and Jamie Lee Curtis were both recently spotted in the sexy yet ageless heels, catapulting it back into the fashion rotation. But who are we kidding? The style never really went anywhere. Though, with Kate Middleton and Sarah Jessica Parker constantly wearing the footwear, I have a feeling we’re about to see a lot more of it, especially with fall right around the corner (a.k.a. the time to put your toes back inside). Not to mention, the sophisticated pumps are ideal for all occasions, including lunch dates, refined dinners, and monumental events. (My BFF even wore a lace pair for her Hawaii wedding!)

Kenneth Cole Bentley Pointed-Toe Pump
$129 at Nordstrom
The Kenneth Cole Bentley Pointed-Toe Pump is one of the sexiest shoes I’ve seen in a minute. It’s not over-the-top, but it still commands attention because of its fire-red hue, buttery leather, and minimal gold detailing. You can also look forward to a pillow-like sole for hidden comfort.
Cole Haan the Go-To Park Pump
Orig. $180 $90 at Zappos
Every woman needs a black pump, and this Cole Haan option is the answer. A modest heel height ensures practicality, while a stable sole keeps you from slipping. However, I’d snag this pick ASAP—many of the brand’s other hues have already sold out.
Chinese Laundry Rya Pointed-Toe Pump
$70 at Nordstrom
Another classic (yet totally fashionable) alternative is the $70 Chinese Laundry Rya Pointed-Toe Pump. It’s the do-it-all shoe of your dreams, perfect for wearing to the office or a black-tie event. The magic is in the details, including its patent material, scalloped edge, and slender heel.
Badgley Mischka Collection Cher Crystal-Embellished Pump
$235 at Nordstrom
Any heel roundup wouldn’t be complete without Badgley Mischka’s Crystal-Embellished Pump. It echoes glamor and sophistication thanks to its tapered heel, luxe satin fabric, and chunky jeweled buckle. TBH, I may have to snag it in white for my own upcoming wedding.
