Emma Watson attended the 2023 Soho House Awards. Held yesterday in New York, the ceremony recognized and spotlighted the work of creative talents across Soho House’s membership pool.

The “Harry Potter” star graced the event in white “BB” pointed-toe pumps from Manolo Blahnik. Although they were hard to see, Watson’s pumps were composed of glossy white patent leather and included thin heels that stood at an estimated 3 to 4 inches, along with sharpened knife-like triangular toes and a walkable sturdy construction.

The neutral footwear imparted a sturdy and neutral base despite its simple appearance. Pumps in neutral tones often offer the wearer a clean appearance, especially when partnered with louder pieces.

When it comes to footwear, Watson opts for chic and contemporary styles. The “Beauty and the Beast” star typically wears Roger Vivier, Manolo Blahnik and Tabitha Simmons sandals and pumps on the red carpet—though she’s also one for unexpected styles, like Miu Miu platform brogues or Creatures of Comfort slip-ons.

When off-duty, she can be spotted in Chloé, Blundstone and Ariat boots, as well as Dr. Martens brogues and Saint Laurent mules. Watson’s casual ensembles also include sneakers by Vans and Allbirds, as well as Melissa, Tkees and Roxy sandals.
