Lyme Disease Awareness: Scroll Through Top-Tier Celeb Red Bottom Looks For International Red Shoe Day

Kerry Washington is a red-bottom fiend when it comes to her red carpet footwear. 

Styled by Law Roach, the actress wore classic black pumps, tights, and a stunning Elie Saab gown to the 2022 Emmys in September. The look was one of the many instances that the star has rocked Louboutins on the red carpet. 

In 2015, Washington honored Christian Louboutin with Shoe Designer of the Year award at the Daily Front Row’s first annual Fashion Los Angeles Awards.

The actress explained that the designer’s label was an integral part of how she embodied “red-carpet Kerry.”

“I discovered [Christian Louboutin] at a time when I was looking for a character that was much more personal. It was a time when I was learning about fashion, and I had relied on a lot of friends to teach me about red carpets because I knew that this was an important part of what I do.”

“And so I began an education in fashion, searching for red-carpet Kerry… And when I slipped on my first red sole, I knew who I was in this world. I knew how to be bigger than myself and yet still myself. And that’s what [Christian Louboutin] shoes do. They elevate who we are inside and out. They make us taller as women in our hearts and in our closets, and we are forever grateful. That red sole is so perfect because it represents blood and love and fire and passion.”
