Daisy Ridley’s Aquazzura Heels Put a Secondary Twist on the Bow Pump Trend

Bow pumps have been everywhere this season, and Daisy Ridley just added her own version to the lineup, wearing Aquazzura’s Very Bow Tie suede pumps while attending “Live With Kelly and Mark” in New York on Monday.

The pumps were black suede with a pointed toe and a high stiletto heel. The upper dipped low in the front while the rear counter remained closed and structured. Along the outer side, the upper crosses the arch to form an open section, where a knotted knot connects the front of the shoe to the heel on the upper part of the foot.

Ridley wore the pumps with what appeared to be an ankle-length gray dress and a long black coat to ward off the cold of the city. She kept the look’s palette neutral, except for a pop of color with her pink pout.

Pumps adorned with a bow have had a moment, although most keep the bow on the front or back of the shoe. At Paris Fashion Week in October, Lana Del Rey wore Valentino’s Bowow slingbacks with an oversized bow placed on the vamp. Brie Larson chose a white Aquazzura pair in New York, where the bow sat at the back of the ankle above the side cutouts. Mischa Barton’s Bora Aksu slingbacks in Munich and Teyana Taylor’s Alexandre Birman Clarita Bell pair in Los Angeles both used the front arches as a focal point. Ridley’s Aquazzura pumps added another option to this mix, moving the bow to the side and using the cutout to frame it.

Aquazzura’s Bow Tie family has become a regular presence on the celebrity circuit, appearing alongside the brand’s mesh pumps and peep-toe sandals on the likes of Meghan Markle, Emma Stone and Sarah Jessica Parker. Off the red carpet, the brand has also expanded with Aquazzura Casa, a tableware and homeware line featured in hotel collaborations such as the Collegio alla Querce retreat in Tuscany.

Ridley is in promotional mode for “We Bury the Dead,” a thriller that follows Ava, a member of a body recovery unit in Tasmania after a military disaster, as she searches for her missing husband in a quarantine zone where the dead begin to reanimate.
