Quinta Brunson shined bright in a pair of pointed-toe pumps while attending the “Saturday Night Live” after-party at Tavern on the Green in New York on Saturday night after co-hosting the show.

Showcasing her new short ‘do, the “Abbott Elementary” star wore a black plunging v-neck cutout minidress with a pair of Christian Louboutin suede pumps with a pointed-toe design that is often popular amongst celebrities. The closed-back construction of the silhouette sturdily held the back of her feet in place, and while the back of her shoes couldn’t be seen completely, they were likely completed with a razor sharp stiletto heel that measured approximately between 3-to-4 inches in height based on her previous preferences.

​​Pointed-toe pumps are a retro style that has been around since the early 1900s. The current versions of pointed-toe pumps are a classic model that merges elements of that retro style with current 2020s inspiration. Many brands such as Stuart Weitzman, Chanel and Gucci offer a wide range of pointed-pumps throughout the season, as the shoe is often preferred for red carpets and formal occasions due to their versatility and ease of styling.

Brunson frequently chooses pumps for her events, recently going for a pair of the Degrastrass Pumps from Christian Louboutin while appearing on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” in April. The shoes, which were made with a PVC upper adorned with crystal embellishments, featured the brand’s signature red bottom. Those shoes also featured a classic pointed toe and an ultra-high stiletto heel that gave the actress a boost in height.

Brunson has been working with stylist Jessica Pasters on her recent looks, which also includes the pointed-toe pumps she donned at the special FYC screening of the “Abbott Elementary” finale at the Academy of Motion Pictures in Los Angeles earlier this year. Those pumps, which were also from Christian Louboutin, boasted a pointed toe, a low-cut vamp and an open side that highlighted the inner arches of the foot.
