Zooey Deschanel got comfy and casual in checkered pumps from Dolce & Gabbana at a basketball game between the Los Angeles Lakers and Portland Trail Blazers on Thursday night.
Sitting next to partner Jonathan Scott, the “New Girl” actress kept it simple with a pair of the Houndstooth Fabric Pumps from Dolce Gabbana, which are characterized by an angular pointed-toe box in the upper. The shoes are made with leather, and finished with a shorty chunky block heel measuring roughly 1.5 inches in height. Other callouts include the kidskin insole with branded label inside, a branded leather outsole and the DG Logo placed delicately on the heel.
For her outfit, the actress sported a light blue denim jacket, which she paired with black tights. Wearing her signature bang hairstyle, she kept her makeup light and neutral to match her casual ensemble. Various designers including Burberry and Valentino offer pointed-toe models regularly as a part of their catalog, as the silhouette is regarded as a preferred shoe for red carpets and formal occasions, and last year the style was a dominant choice amongst celebrities and influencers within their high-profile and casual appearances.
As for her Scott, he kept it comfortable in a pair of white sneakers as well.
Deschanel wore quite a few notable pumps looks throughout the year as well, including her November appearance at the 2024 Governors Awards, where she wore a pair of black Mary Jane pumps that featured two straps across the midsection of the foot in addition to one around the ankle that were emphasized by a metallic buckle. The pumps also included a rounded toe elevated by a platform while a heel boosted the look in the back.
Last year, the style started on an upward swing, with stylists recommending pointed shoe styles to achieve simple and classic looks for spring and summer courtesy of its versatility and ability to work with a wide range of outfits.
