She paired the pumps with a vivid red trenchcoat cut below the knee. Black double-breasted buttons and a black-framed belt buckle broke up the color only slightly. Amber aviators, a tartan umbrella and a beaded phone charm rounded out the look, while the matching coat and pumps kept the red story tight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tThe Pigalle remains one of Christian Louboutin\u2019s defining pump lines. The original Pigalle traces back to 2004, and the house still positions the style as a signature pointed pump built around a low vamp and elongated line, named for the Paris district that inspired it. Klum\u2019s pair pushed that long-running silhouette into a brighter, more graphic place through the red embossed finish rather than crystals, hardware or other surface embellishment.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"c-lazy-image__img lrv-u-background-color-grey-lightest lrv-u-width-100p lrv-u-display-block lrv-u-height-auto\" src=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/wp-content\/themes\/vip\/pmc-wwd-2021\/assets\/public\/lazyload-fallback.gif\" data-lazy-src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/heidi-klum-croc-effect-louboutin-red-pumps-details.jpg\" alt=\"A closer look at Heidi Klum's croc-embossed, candy-red Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps. celebrity shoe style, Heidi Klum shoe style, red pumps, red high heels \" data-lazy- data-lazy- height=\"565\" width=\"740\" decoding=\"async\"\/><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\tA closer look at <a href=\"https:\/\/wwd.com\/footwear-news\/shoe-trends\/heidi-klum-satin-pumps-paris-hilton-event-1238467238\/\" id=\"related_article_link_heidi-klum\" data-tag=\"heidi-klum\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Heidi Klum<\/a>\u2019s croc-embossed, candy-red Christian Louboutin Pigalle Follies pumps.<\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\tGC Images<\/p>\n<p class=\"paragraph larva \/\/ lrv-u-margin-lr-auto  lrv-a-font-body-m   \">\n\tRecent Klum looks have kept the shoes doing the work.

Klum kept the same elongated, low-cut line and changed the finish, using glossy red mock-croc embossing in place of satin or strass.
