Reese Witherspoon pulled an Elle Woods in the Subtly Sexy It shoe of 2024

I’ll never forget the Gemini vegetarian who taught me that you can be a badass and still look good. This girly force is none other than Elle Woods, played by Reese Witherspoon in Blonde’s Revenge. So when I saw Witherspoon reprising her character last week, I almost fell off my pink and fluffy seat.

Witherspoon posted an Instagram video wearing a vibrant tweed ensemble and soft pink Christian Louboutin slingback pumps, similar to the versions worn by Katie Holmes and Julia Roberts. 2024’s “It” shoes featured a pointed toe, scalloped strap, and tapered heel; in other words, these aren’t your last-season Prada shoes. Still, they’ll cost you a pretty penny ($895 to be exact), so I’ve rounded up eight Elle Woods-inspired lookalikes that will have you walking around in style.

8 Witherspoon-Inspired Pink Slingback Heels

Vivaia Pointed Toe Slingback Heel

The Vivaia Slingback Pump is too good to pass up. The shoe features a stretchy knit upper, a cloud sole, and a breathable, moisture-wicking design. A grippy bottom, under 3-inch heel, and adjustable buckle let you walk with confidence, while pairing perfectly with summer dresses, long skirts, and wide-leg jeans. Similar to the fold and snap, these Vivaia slingback heels work every time.

Pelle Moda Kelsa – Scalloped Slingback Heel

For a scalloped design, consider this Pelle Moda heel. Not only is it better than an incredible four hours in the hot tub after a winter ceremony (wink wink), but it has buttery suede, a short heel and an almond toe. Although there is no adjuster on this shoe, an elastic strap ensures that it fits comfortably over your heel.

Lifestride Santorini Strappy Pumps

Although the Lifestride Santorini pump is a darker shade of pink, it still captures the magic of Elle Woods. For $51, you can expect a unique crossover strap, cushioned footbed, and flexible material. I own a few pairs of Lifestride shoes and can attest to their great comfort: what more could a girl who loves heels want?

Jessica Simpson Souli patent pump

I call on another female pump powerhouse Jessica Simpson. It gives you extra height, features sexy patent leather and adds instant elegance to any ensemble. The only downside? Bruiser Woods isn’t included, but at least the shoe is on sale.

“Whoever said orange was the new pink was seriously disturbed,” said icon Elle Woods, so stick with her foolproof color and shop more pink slingbacks below.
