Jessica Biel hit the ground running this week, all while in a sleek selection of fun pointed-toe pumps. The actress is set to star in “Matchbox: The Movie” alongside John Cena, and the press tour for the film is in full swing.

She is currently in New York, demonstrating how to make the traditional shoe style appealing again. While jeweled, embellished, and maximalist shoes are an incoming trend in the shoe department, the actress and her styling duo, Rob Zangardi and Mariel Haenn, kept her looks polished this week, often pairing heeled pumps with monochrome looks.

She appeared on “The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon” on Tuesday wearing a standout sheer black floral lace top layered beneath an oversized leather jacket. Biel went black on black for the late-night show, pairing the 16Arlington embroidered Olarna top in black with wide-leg trousers that slightly covered her shoes.

On her feet, she opted for a sultrier and sexier alternative to a basic leather pump. She instead went for a pair of sheer Christian Louboutin Neoalto Mesh Pumps, featuring a black lace pattern and suede trim. The shoes feature a pointed-toe with a low-cut V-front and a cutout at the center of the vamp, adding another flirty detail to go with the daring pop of red on the sole that is the designer’s signature touch.

She stuck to the formula for her appearance earlier that day on “The Today Show.” For the morning show, which tapes in the Midtown neighborhood of Manhattan, she went for an all-white look instead. She wore a sleeveless Self-Portrait Fringe Scarf Top and matching Self-Portrait high-waist trousers for the appearance.

Completely ignoring the dated “No White After Labor Day” style rule, she slipped her feet into a bold pair of stark white Gianvito Rossi Sofia Sling Pumps. The shoes featured a sharp and elongated pointed toe with a high vamp design that peeked through the hem of her pants as she walked.

The pumps balanced on the brand’s distinctive “Sofia” heel, which measured 3.8 inches. The shoes retail for $995 and are also available in black. For another look on the same day, she opted for an all-gray ensemble from the Michael Kors fall 2026 collection.

She wore a grey wool Michael Kors blazer and matching trousers cinched with a black belt and a gray turtleneck that was equally modern and feminine. She added some more softness to the look with her shoes, opting for the Gianvito Rossi Gianvito 85 pointed-toe stiletto pumps in a decadent gray suede. The shoes may be a traditional silhouette, but they make a powerful statement when paired with a monochrome look.

“Matchbox: The Movie” was directed by Sam Hargrave and follows a group of former childhood friends who reconnect, and their reunion takes a wild turn as they stumble upon a dangerous international plot and must save the world. The film will be released on Apple TV on Friday and also stars Arturo Castro, Teyonah Parris, Sam Richardson, and more.
