FOUND: Taylor Schilling's Pink Pumps from the Netflix Red Carpet

Wednesday, June 11, 2014


In the abstract, a bubble gum pink leather pump with a metallic heel sounds like a hot mess. What on earth would you ever wear it with? Wouldn't you look like an overgrown Barbie doll? Or, worse, like Nicki Minaj on a bad wardrobe day?

But, in reality, a luxurious pink leather pump with that same metallic heel can look gorgeous. It can add a pop of color to a neutral outfit and an instant dose of summer to your entire look. Just check out this red carpet pic of Orange Is the New Black's Taylor Schilling. She's paired a simple white A.L.C. dress with pink heels for Netflix's Academy Panel "Women Ruling TV" at the Leonard H. Goldenson Theatre. She's definitely ruling the step and repeat.

Want to steal Taylor Schilling's pink pump style for yourself? She's wearing the Casadei Blade Pump in Doll Pink Leather.

The pretty pink pump pops in combination with Taylor's chic white dress and white clutch combo. Plus, by pushing the bright accessory down to her feet, the OITNB cutie is able to pull off a bright cherry red lip without creating a fashion-beauty clash situation. As a general rule, pink and red can look great when they are worn together. But, if one is your lip and the other is your top, the result looks like you got ready in the dark.

Still not convinced that pink heels belong in your everyday wardrobe? Try picturing these shoes peeking out from chocolate brown trousers. Or, imagine them with slouchy cropped boyfriend jeans and an oversize chunky sweater. They'll add a bit of feminine flair to styles stolen from the boys. Just promise me you won't wear them with a skintight minidress. That's not cute.
