Jessica Alba attended Swarovski‘s “Masters of Light – From Vienna to Milan” exhibition held in Milan today during Milan Fashion Week. Other notable attendees included Gwyneth Paltrow, Giveon, Soo Joo Park, Laetitia Casta and Daphne Guinness, among others.

Going classic, the “Sin City” star sported a pair of black pumps. The style featured textural black suede uppers, sharp triangular toes, arched soles and 2 to 3-inch stiletto heels. The simplistic silhouette was accompanied by sheer black tights, offering Alba’s look a sophisticated touch. Black pumps are a closet staple for many celebrities, given they go with just about everything. The style is tried and true, worn and re-worn since the dawn of fashion.

Many celebrities reach for the sleek silhouette both on and off the red carpet, Alba included. Jennifer Lawrence, Anya Taylor-Joy, Alicia Keys, Ariana Grande and Sofia Vergara are just a few stars who have recently been spotted sporting black pumps. No matter the brand or heel height, black pumps are an all-around classic. The silhouette can dress up any casual ensemble and when paired with formal wear, the style offers the outfit a neutral base to build upon.
