‘Emilia Pérez’ Star Karla Sofía Gascón Switches Out Her Louboutins in Favor of Cozy Slippers for ‘The Tonight Show’ Appearance
“Emilia Pérez” star Karla Sofía Gascón chose comfort over glamour for a Jan. 13 appearance on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon,” donning a pair of slippers in lieu of Christian Louboutin heels during the late night interview.
“Red bottoms” in hand and slippers on feet as she was welcomed on stage, Gascón explained her unexpected footwear choice, which occurred not long after Angelina Jolie came on the show wearing no shoes at all.
Gascón said, “I have these beautiful shoes, but I found these [slippers] in my room. That is better, no? It’s more comfortable.” Bad Bunny, who sat beside Fallon at his desk, said in Spanish, “Just put them around somewhere.”
Though they were not the shoes she ultimately wore on the show, the actress wasn’t ready for them to disappear. She took a seat and left the heeled sandals by her feet, saying, also in Spanish, “I’m putting them right here so nobody takes them away.”
While Gascón was seen outside in New York City wearing the Louboutin sandals, she conversed with Fallon and Bad Bunny wearing a pair of fuzzy white slippers with her red wine colored jumpsuit. With a sumptuous subdued shine, the outfit featured a V-neck top, wide-leg pants and three-quarter length sleeves; Gascon was styled by Freddy Alonso for the occasion. The plum-hued piece was accented by elegant jewelry from Pamellato and a hairstyle consisting of loose waves.
The shoes that Gascon chose not to wear for the interview appeared to be Christian Louboutin’s Lipstrass Queen 100 style, a black satin sandal with minimalist straps and a statement-making gold heel embellished with crystals. The Lipstrass was released as a holiday version of the Lipstick style, which has a heel inspired by the gold case of the brand’s Rouge Louboutin lipstick. The company describes the holiday iteration, “Embellished with some 700 crystals, each pair of heels is meticulously bedazzled by hand. Well, what did you expect? It takes dedication to look this good, darling!” Savannahs is currently selling the black satin Lipstrass sandal for $1,495.
“Emilia Pérez” also stars Zoë Saldaña and Selena Gomez, who have both modeled several chic footwear looks while promoting the movie, from Saldaña’s Alevi Milano heels to Gomez’s Christian Louboutin heels. Both Gascón and Saldaña took homes Golden Globes on Jan. 5 for their performances in the film; Gomez was also nominated.
