While dramatic platform heels and strappy sandals are all the rave at the 2025 MTV Video Music Awards, Livvy Dunne kept it classic in a pair of Jimmy Choo pointed toe pumps. The former gymnast arrived at the event on Sunday wearing the luxury footwear designer’s Anouk style in black patent leather.

While at first they may appear to be a traditional, straightforward design, the Anouk pumps are anything but boring. The shoes feature one of Jimmy Choo’s most daring designs, with a gravity-defying stiletto. The Anouk features a pointed-toe shape, with remarkable stiletto engineering that gives the shoe an elegant silhouette, thanks to a towering spike heel that makes the shoe perfectly proportioned all around.
The pumps gave her look a classy touch and a dramatic boost in height thanks to their nearly five-inch needle heels. The insoles of the shoes are leather-lined with Jimmy Choo labels. While the shoes are currently only available on resale websites and retailers, the luxury footwear designer has similar pump silhouettes.

Jimmy Choo boasts a long list of celebrity fans, and when they are in need of a pump, they reach for the Love 100, which are also patent leather pointed-toe pumps with a JC emblem on the heel, the Romy 100 pointed toe pumps, which are available in suede and leather, and the more contemporary Ixia 95 pumps, which feature a drop heel.

Dunne kept the rest of her VMAs look playful to fit the energy of the event. She wore a suit by Dolce & Gabbana, which featured high-waisted, tapered trousers, which she paired with a cropped blazer that she wore unbuttoned with just a silk bra underneath. She also carried a Dolce & Gabbana Kim Coin Pocket Sicily handbag in black patent leather to complete the look.
