Laverne Cox Pairs Vintage Dior With Perfect Silver Heels at 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards
Laverne Cox was a vision in vintage for her hosting duties at the 2025 Billboard Women in Music Awards. The actress has a penchant for historic looks for various moments. She’s a particular fan of designs from Thierry Mugler. Throughout the hosting of last night’s event she wore ensembles from Mugler as well as Alexander McQueen.
She kicked it off on the red carpet though. There, Cox wore a vintage Christian Dior red dress. The look was designed by John Galliano. She wore it with a matching scarf.
For heels, the “Clean Slate” star wore a pair of silver pointed-toe pumps. The metalic shoes feature an upper made of an animal skin. The overlapping scales of the skin are visible on the shoe.
The style is a typical court pump. It features a single-sole and covers all edges of the foot. The heel likely measures about three to four inches.
Stiletto pumps are a staple heel in the shoe closets of most women. Most women’s shoe companies make their own versions often in monochoromatic styles. The material of the upper routinely varies from smooth leather to patent leather, suede, wool, various reptile skins and more. Some of the more famed pump styles include the Christian Louboutin So Kate, the Manolo Blahnik BB pump and Jimmy Choo Love heel.
Cox loves a pointed-toe style. Though she’s often seen in the sharp heels of Mugler, in October she wore this metallic silver pump to the premiere of “The Apprentice” in New York City.
The 2025 Billboard Women In Music Awards was held on Saturday night in Inglewood, Calif. The event aims to celebrate notable achievements in the music world from extraordinary women. Notable honorees this year included Jennie, receiving the “Global Force Award,” Doechii being named “Woman of the Year” and Gracie Abrams being honored as “Songwriter of the Year.”
